The Arizona Cardinals have moved on from veteran linebacker Jordan Hicks. Nearly a year after he was given permission to request a trade because the team had drafted Zaven Collins, his presumed replacement, in the first round, he is now a free agent.
The team announced Hicks was released a week ahead of the new league year.
By releasing him, the Cardinals will save $6.5 million in salary cap space, but his contract will carry a dead money charge of $3 million.
