Former Michigan wide receiver Steve Breaston, a restricted free agent, signed a new deal with the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday that pays him $2.4 million next season, according to MSNBC.com.

With Arizona's trade of Anquan Boldin to the Baltimore Ravens, Breaston is expected to move into the No. 2 receiving role with the Cardinals and complement Larry Fitzgerald.

Gabe Watson, another former U-M player with Arizona, also re-signed the team's restricted free agent offer.
