More than four months after he was released by the Chiefs, free agent offensive tackle Eric Winston may be close to finding his new team.

The Arizona Cardinals are working on a deal with Winston that could be completed within the next 24 hours, a league source told PFT’s Mike Florio.

Winston started all 16 games at right tackle for the Chiefs last season after having started all 16 games for the Texans for five consecutive seasons before that.

Last season the Cardinals went with rookie fourth-round draft pick Bobby Massie as their starting right tackle. Massie improved late in the season after struggling mightily early on, but no matter how much Massie has improved, Winston would be a significant upgrade to Arizona’s offensive line.
