Everybody liked this signing but it’s clear Suggs was just on a money grab I’m actually more disappointed in Suggs cause he’s one of my all time favorites.
disappointed in a guy for taking a one year 7 million dollar deal? not his fault our GM thought he'd be a feel good story for the crooked Hamilton and ASU fans.

Wow. That's a pretty intense move this late in the game. Why? Seems disrespectful, on the surface, but I wonder if maybe Suggs requested it. Like mentioned, maybe he goes back to the Ravens for one last playoff run?

There is no way this was done without Suggs input. If it were reactionary it would have been done earlier in the week.

The #Cardinals gave Terrell Suggs a $4 million signing bonus in March and owe him the rest of his $3M guaranteed salary if he's not claimed. Now, cut. Any team claiming Suggs would owe him only the prorated portion of that $3M salary for rest of 2019.

mutual parting. its not more bad perceptions of players who suck and get released.

Kliff Kingsbury said the conversations about releasing Terrell Suggs were mutual. Kingsbury said it was the best move for both parties. It gives the Cardinals an opportunity to play more you get guys and gives Suggs a chance to find a new team. es.pn/38F9OZ0

only thought here: does this accelerate the dead money cap hit into this year vs next?

if so, I have no issue with the move

that signing always felt out of place: it was a move more for a team that was close and needed a vet at a key place. the Cards of course, were far, far away (and Keim either knew it, or, should have known)

Two days ago the talk was moving Suggs to DE and two days later he is released. One can speculate that Suggs dissed the idea of moving to DE and the team decided to release him or this team is sailing the ocean blue without a rudder or a paddle or possibly both are true.

best part of the article

"Reddick played six snaps against Pittsburgh. In the second quarter, he nearly registered a sack, disrupting the play enough to force one of Duck Hodges’ three incompletions in the game."

Two incidental blows to Keim in one article :)

Reddick will definitely be getting more playing time now. It would be nice if he can show some pass rush, as releasing him this offseason saves us no money at all.
