Cardinals Release Dalvin Tomlinson, Save Cap Space

The Arizona Cardinals continue shaking up their roster by releasing defensive lineman Dalvin Tomlinson after just one year of his two-year contract, worth $29 million. The 32-year-old started all 17 games last season, but failed to boost the team's struggling run defense. Earlier this week, the Cardinals also cut linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither and defensive tackle Balal Nichols. Tomlinson's lackluster stats, including only 26 tackles and a low performance grade, made the move straight forward for General Manager Monty, Austin Ford. These releases free up around $24 to $25 million in salary cap space. That's crucial after the dead money hit from quarterback Kyler Murray's deal, as the team eyes a new franchise quarterback. Austin Ford's ties to Malik Willis' hint at a possible successor, though final contract numbers remain unclear. Meanwhile, the

1:00run defense ranked near the bottom last year, allowing over 126 rushing yards per game. In other news, the Cardinals chose not to tender restricted free agent running back Emery DeMercato, making him a free agent as early as next year.
