The Arizona Cardinals have signed veteran offensive lineman Everett Lindsay and announced that guard Nick Leckey, the team’s sixth-round (167th overall) selection of the 2004 NFL Draft, has agreed to terms.A ten-year veteran, Lindsay has logged 136 appearances and 63 starts with the Vikings, Browns, and Ravens during his NFL career. He played in 12 games last season at both guard and tackle for the Minnesota Vikings.Originally selected by Minnesota in the fifth round of the 1993 draft, Lindsay appeared in 104 games (31 starts) for the Vikings from 1993-98 and 2001-03. He was a 16-game starter for Baltimore in 1999 and for Cleveland in 2000. The 6-4, 305 pound Lindsay, who has started at every line position during his NFL career, also has started two of four post season appearances with the Vikings. A guard until his senior season, Leckey switched to center and was named First-team all-America by ESPN and Sports Illustrated.
