One full-time starter and two part-timers for the Cardinals agreed to terms with other teams on Saturday.

Cornerback Marcus Cooper, who started 13 games last season, signed a three-year contract with the Bears.

Offensive lineman Earl Watford is expected to sign a two-year, $6 million contract with the Jaguars, according to the NFL Network and NFL.com

Tight end Darren Fells is signing a 1-year, $1.5 million deal with the Lions, according to a source.

The Cardinals traded a seventh-round pick in 2018 for Cooper at the end of last preseason. He led the team with four interceptions.

A fourth-round pick in 2013, Watford started 10 games last season, filling in at right guard and right tackle.

Watford is strong, smart and athletic, but he was inconsistent in the Cardinals’ view. John Wetzel, who passed Watford on the depth chart, returns for 2017, and two draft picks from 2016, Cole Toner and Evan Boehm, also are expected to contend for playing time at right guard.

Fells started 24 games over the last three years, including seven last season. His playing time dwindled in the second half of the season as the Cardinals depended more upon Jermaine Gresham.

Fells was due to be a restricted free agent, but the Cardinals opted not to extend a tender offer of $1.8 million. That made Fells an unrestricted free agent.
