The Cardinals continue to stockpile players through free agency, agreeing on Thursday to a two-year deal with veteran defensive tackle Darius Philon.

Philon, who has spent all four of his NFL seasons with the Chargers, will sign a contract worth $10 million, which includes $5 million in guaranteed money, according to NFL Media. Philon, 25, can earn up to an additional $2 million in incentives, per the report.

Philon started 13 games last season for the Chargers, recording 33 tackles with seven for loss, four sacks, nine quarterback hits and a forced fumble.
