The Arizona Cardinals are reportedly securing a major addition to their coaching staff, as Mike LaFleur has agreed to a five-year contract with the franchise, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The length of the agreement signals a substantial long-term commitment from the Cardinals, locking in LaFleur through the next five seasons. LaFleur arrives in Arizona following a stint as the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams. During his time working under Sean McVay, he was credited with helping maintain a high-powered offensive unit and overseeing the development of key personnel in the passing game.
Before joining the Rams, LaFleur spent two seasons as the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets and held various roles with the San Francisco 49ers, where he established himself as a prominent figure in the Kyle Shanahan coaching tree. His move to Arizona is expected to bring a fresh perspective to a Cardinals team looking to establish stability and growth under its current leadership.
The Cardinals have not yet officially announced his specific title or the exact parameters of the role, though the five-year term suggests a high-ranking position within the organization's hierarchy. Further details regarding the coaching staff structure are expected to follow as the deal is finalized.
