Cardinals release CB Malcolm Butler as vet seeks potential comeback

The Arizona Cardinals made an unexpected roster move that went unannounced but appeared on the NFL transaction report on Thursday. They released cornerback Malcolm Butler from the reserve/retired list.

Butler signed a one-year contract last offseason and was projected to be a starter for the Cardinals. However, just before the season began, he decided to walk away from the game and retire. There was a personal or family issue he was tending to.

The exact story never came out as to why he walked away.
