Cardinals are releasing S Kerry Rhodes, per league source.

 

[TruColor]

I understand the salary reasons, but...

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

 

[HoodieBets]

WTF, who are they trying to sign to justify this....wow, just wow we have no safeties.

 

[Solar7]

Okay, now I'm on the dark side here.

Apparently he wouldn't sign a longer term deal.

 

[Russ Smith]

Never fear we have Rashad johnson to play both positions.

 

[PDXChris]

Mike Jerecki just said he does not want to be here and would not reduce his salary.

Team saves about 6 million dollars in total with the move. RT @JasonLaCanfora: Kerry Rhodes is being released. Veteran purges


or

Kent Somers ‏@kentsomers
#azcardinals save $2.6 million in cap for rhodes' release. $1.8 of signing bonus left to count

OR

Kent Somers ‏@kentsomers
Actually, proration goes to Jets because #azcardinals traded for Rhodes. So it's $6 m savings.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Oh well, this season is going to be hard to recognize the players. I think I will just refer to them by their numbers.

 

[Dayman]

I'm confused.

Unless this has something to do with it:

@deemason85: There could b a surprise team looking for Ed reeds services at safety.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Not surprising. I've been thinking it would happen for awhile now. There's no way to justify a $6mill salary, especially with all the other safeties on the market. Maybe he refused an extension at a lower price.

 

[HoodieBets]

Imagine if we get Nnamdi or Cason and Ed Reed. Whoa cartwheel time, Id buy the jersey tomorrow.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Does Reed have anything left in the tank if that is where the Cards are thinking to replace Rhodes

He did and said he was leaving after the season.

 

[Proteus]

What the heck?

It looks like the defense is gonna take a step back this season.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

WHAT THE ****!!!! This is what Todd Bowles gets us...its mutiny...

 

[AZ Native]

Maybe they are trying to sell more jerseys.

This comment made me LOL

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Only AZ can turn a strength into a weakness...

 

[Duckjake]

But why in the world would the Cards trade Adrian Wilson for Ed Reed? If that's what they do then they're even wackier than the old Boone and Bidwill tandem.

One theory might be the defensive players are really unhappy about Horton and want to leave now.

 

[Shane]

i bet Cbus is happy

 

[CtCardinals78]

Whoa, I call bs on this one.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

He did and said he was leaving after the season.

Well then, Kerry, watch your step on the way out and don't let the door hit you.

 

[Mitch]

I've been trying to prepare you for this. The writing was on the wall. To his credit, he had his best year last year, especially when they moved him up to the box. Horton got through to him and I would expect him to give the Browns a good look.

 

[pacman]

LMAO if the Cards are doing this to go after Ed Reed or Nnamdi, I should really stop cheering for this team. Hopefully they use this $6 million towards players that aren't actually washed out.
