The Arizona Cardinals made a surprising move on Friday. They announced the release of veteran outside linebacker Terrell Suggs.
He played 13 games for the Cardinals this year after signing as a free agent in the offseason. It was a homecoming for Suggs, who attended high school Hamilton High played collegiately for Arizona State. After 16 years with the Baltimore Ravens in what is expected to be a Hall of Fame career, he came home.
However, after two sacks in the season opener, he only picked up three more in the next five games. He has logged only half a sack in the last six games and did not even have a single tackle in the last two weeks. He has barely even practiced.
He finishes the season with 5.5 sacks and 37 tackles.
His release will allow the Cardinals to give more snaps to Haason Reddick and Cassius Marsh.
The team did not announce a corresponding roster move.
