The Arizona Cardinals announced the release of defensive lineman Jordan Phillips on Wednesday, bringing a disappointing two-year stay with the team to a close.
According to the NFL transaction list, Phillips was released with a post-June 1 designation.
A standard release would have given the Cardinals $4.1 million in cap relief. His contract would have counted $9.2 million in dead money against the cap this year for money already paid in signing bonuses and restructure bonuses.
