Report: Cardinals to part ways with Pro Bowl CB Patrick Peterson

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 2/8/21

Eight-time Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson and the Arizona Cardinals are expected to part ways this offseason, according to FanSided's Matt Verderame.

Per source, the Arizona Cardinals and former All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson are parting ways barring a significant change in stances.

Peterson, 30, has enjoyed eight Pro Bowl and three First-Team All-Pro campaigns since being selected No. 5 overall in the 2011 Draft.

Peterson will become an unrestricted free agent and should draw an interesting market. He has been one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, but injuries have slowed him down as of late.

The LSU product has spent his entire 10-year career with the Cardinals. His best season came in 2012 when he had seven interceptions, 16 passes defended, five fumble recoveries and 55 tackles.

During the 2020 season, Peterson had three interceptions, eight passes defended and 61 tackles. It's unclear which teams will show interest in the Florida native.
