When the Arizona Cardinals found out about the legal troubles of former running back Jonathan Dwyer, they wasted no time in cutting ties. This past April, former Cardinals linebacker Daryl Washington was conditionally re-instated by the NFL after a three-year suspension.
As soon as the draft ended later that week, the Cardinals met with Washington the next week and cut ties with him. They couldn’t do it while he was under suspension per collective bargaining rules.
This past December, former Cardinals and current Minnesota Vikings receiver Michael Floyd was released after being arrested for DUI in Scottsdale.
