Tomlinson Released, Packers Need Nose Tackle

0:00For the NFL, it's March 6th, here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Arizona Cardinals just released Noes Tackle, Dauvin Thominson, making him a top free agent option this off-season. Last year in 2025, he ranked as the 11th most-play Noes Tackle in the league, logging heavy snaps. Among upcoming free agents at the position, only former Detroit Lion DJ readers saw more action. Thominson had a scheduled $16.2 million cap hit for 2026, so the move clears space for Arizona. Earlier this week, NFL Networks Ian Rappaport broke the news on Friday. Thominson signed a two-year, $29 million deal with the Cardinals last March, under then head coach Jonathan Ganon, who's now the defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers. Before Arizona, the 6-foot-335-pounder bounced around with the New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, and Cleveland, Browns. Over nine NFL seasons since getting pick 55th overall

1:03in 2017, Thominson has appeared in 142 games and started. Every single one, averaging about 16 games a year. Fans and analysts see him as a steady vet with proven durability. Meanwhile, he's joining a short list of Noes Tackles familiar with Ganon, who are suddenly available, like New England Patriots, Kyra's Tonga, and Detroit Lions Roy Lopez. Javan Hargrave could also hit the market soon after the Vikings, where he played Noes last year, despite earlier stints at three technique, with Ganon's old Eagle Squad. The Packers desperately need a starting Noes Tackle after a rough go with Kobe Wooden stepping in for traded star Kenny Clark and free agent. Departure, TJ Slayton. Green Bay's defense dominated early in 2025, but faded later, struggling against long run plays. Signing Tonga or Lopez might even dodge a compensatory draft pick in 2027.
