The Arizona Cardinals announced the release of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on Friday. Because they did it before June 2, they take a big dead-money hit against the 2023 salary cap.
Depending on where you look, the Cardinals will take a dead-money charge this year of between $21.1 million to $22.6 million (Over the Cap says $21.1 million). They will save between $8 million and $9 million in cap space, as he was due to count more than $30 million against the cap.
