The Arizona Cardinals have re-signed Batiste to a one-year deal.|||||||
Batiste is a guard/tackle who has played in four games for Arizona over the past two seasons as a reserve offensive lineman and special teams player.
Batiste says his recent arrest on a weapons charge may have been racially motivated. Batiste, a former deputy in Louisiana, was initially charged with carrying a concealed weapon after a search of his car during a traffic stop. Police had stopped Batiste's car, saying his window tint was too dark. On Friday, a Mecklenburg County judge threw out the charges, saying the arrest for a window tint violation was a pretext to search Batiste's car.|||||||
