According to Adam Schefter, the Arizona Cardinals will release Jordan Hicks.
According to Spotrac, the move frees $6.5 million worth of salary cap space while leaving $3 million in dead cap.
He hit triple digits for the third year in a row, finishing second on the team with 116 tackles. He finished third in the NFL with 149 tackles.
The 29-year-old showed his versatility this past season with a career-high four sacks to go with five passes defended and two fumble recoveries. He was part of a defense that ranked 11th in both points and yards allowed.
He missed a regular-season game in three years with the team, but still led the team in defensive snaps last season.
Arizona can afford to let go of Hicks after drafting LBs in the first round in each of the last two years.
After being selected eighth overall in 2020, Simmons had a quiet first year, but broke out last season with 105 tackles and 1.5 sacks. The team hopes for a similar second-year jump from Zaven Collins. Collins played in 17 games last year and made 25 tackles.
The move clears cap space for a team that currently ranks 19th in the NFL with $8.5 million available, per Spotrac.
Arizona can use all the money it can find with quarterback Kyler Murray looking for a new contract.
