Arizona Cardinals to decline fifth-year option in Isaiah Simmons per report

The Arizona Cardinals are not picking up the fifth year option of linebacker Isaiah Simmons per reports.

The #AZCardinals are not picking up the fifth-year option for former No. 8 overall pick LB Isaiah Simmons, sources say. He enters a contract year with a chance to make it count with a big season in coach Jonathan Gannon's defense.

This should come as no surprise, as Simmons has wildly underwhelmed his first three seasons, starting his rookie season where he was only able to play 34% of the snaps.
