The Arizona Cardinals signed punter Ben Graham to replace Dirk Johnson, who was released earlier Monday.

Graham is a former Australian rules football player who began the 2008 season with the New York Jets, participating in the first four games before being released on September 29. He was signed by the New Orleans Saints on October 20 but was released only one week later.

Graham entered the NFL with the Jets as a 31-year old rookie in 2005 after playing 11 years in Australia with the Geelong Football Club.

Over three seasons with the Jets (2005-07), Graham punted in 47 games to a 43.7 yard average with 67 boots inside the 20-yard-line.
