The Arizona Cardinals will be releasing defensive back Tyrann Mathieu. Fox's Jay Glazer first reported the news and the team quickly confirmed it.
“I’ve never made a secret that Tyrann has always had a special place in my heart and always will," Cardinals GM Steve Keim said in a statement.
The team and Mathieu's agent, Tom Condon, have been speaking for weeks about reworking his deal to keep him in Arizona, but it appears the two sides were too far apart.
A few deadlines were closing in with Mathieu's contract. He was due $13.
