The Arizona Cardinals have announced that they are picking up the fifth-year option on Deone Bucannon’s contract.
The news comes a day after Daryl Washington has been reinstated by the league on a conditional basis. For those who wonder if Bucannon should move back to safety as a result to Washington’s reinstatement and Buc’s size for a linebacker, here’s what Arians had to say following the conclusion of the 2016 season. Quote tweeted by Darren Urban earlier today.
“No, Buc’s got his spot. Very few guys can do what he does"
Not too long ago in the 2014 NFL Draft, Bucannon was projected to be a second round pick.
