ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Arizona Cardinals have agreed to terms with second-round linebacker Daryl Washington.

Washington has agreed to a four-year contract, but the financial terms were not disclosed.

A back-up during his first three seasons at TCU, Washington entered the starting lineup in 2009 and lead the Horned Frogs with 109 tackles, including 11 for a loss, with a pair of quarterback sacks and three interceptions.

Washington’s stellar senior season made him a finalist for the Butkus Award, presented annually to the nation’s top linebacker.

The Cardinals allowed Karlos Dansby, a team captain at inside linebacker, to leave via free agency in March. Veterans Clark Haggans and Gerald Hayes are slated to start, but Hayes has a back issue open the door for Washington to get on the field as a rookie.
