Cardinals release veteran LB Jordan Hicks
The Arizona Cardinals have released veteran linebacker Jordan Hicks, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday.
As Schefter mentions, Hicks didn't have a poor 2021 campaign. However, the Cardinals have former first-rounders Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons to pick up the slack and, like so many other teams right now, are clearing as much cap space as possible ahead of the free-agent market opening.
With Hicks getting a head start looking at free agency, there are already a few teams being mentioned as possible landing spots for the 29-year-old Colorado Springs native. There have been suggestions he could head home to play for the Denver Broncos, while a reunion with the Philadelphia Eagles wouldn't be out of the question.
