Cardinals Slash Roster: Six Players Cut – NBC Sports

The Cardinals have officially announced the release of six players, as reported by NBC Sports.

The Arizona Cardinals have ignited the action by announcing their initial roster cuts ahead of Tuesday’s crucial deadline to set their initial 53-man lineup. The team made the tough call to part ways with six players, slimming down their squad to 85. All eyes are also on wide receiver Zay Jones, who will land on the suspended list come Tuesday—saving the team from making one more move.

The Fallen Six

Amidst the tension and anticipation, wide receiver Daylen Baldwin, linebacker Chris Garrett, cornerback Delonte Hood, safety Verone McKinley III, cornerback Michael Ojemudia, and offensive lineman Austen Pleasants were handed their walking papers on Monday. It’s never easy to say goodbye, especially when all these ballers, except for Hood, have faced the heat of regular-season games. Now, they are on the prowl for new opportunities to pad their career stats.

The Emotional Rollercoaster

It’s like a game of musical chairs in the locker room. You hear the music, you run, and when it stops, you hope you’ve got a seat. On Monday, these six found themselves standing, not by choice but by the unpredictable beat of the NFL. Imagine Chris Garrett, helmet in hand, looking around, whispering to himself, “Todo vale en la guerra y en el amor”—everything is fair in love and war. The path now forks for these warriors, with their next gigs hanging in the balance.

One Less Move

And let’s not overlook the scenario of Zay Jones. His placement on the suspended list is like one less worry for the Cardinals’ management, giving them a small breather in making the roster countdown.

Forward March!

With fierce eyes on the 53-man roster deadline, the Cardinals, just like a matador facing the bull, must steer through these decisions with precision and courage. To these six, we say: ¡Arriba muchachos! The journey is far from over—new doors await.
