After being released from the Detroit Lions less than 24-hours ago, multiple sources are reporting that Devon Kennard is returning to his home of Tempe, Arizona to join the Cardinals.
Despite being a team captain and recording back-to-back seven sack seasons (both career-highs) the Lions made the decision to move on after adding Jamie Collins to their linebacker core.
Kennard, who is one of the highest character players in the league, left a very heartfelt and classy goodbye message on social media:
“My goal in life is to always leave a place better then I found it. I believe I did that in Detroit with the (Lions). Thank you to my teammates, coaches, the support staff and fans that made my experience in Detroit one that I will cherish forever.”
The Lions will face the Cardinals in Arizona during the 2020 season, which will surely be a date circled on Kennard’s calendar.
We at Lions Wire wish Kennard the best of luck in Arizona.
