The Arizona Cardinals have restructured the contract of outside linebacker Chandler Jones, freeing up $4 million against the salary cap this season and adding flexibility that could allow them to make a significant roster addition.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter, citing league sources, was the first to report the news.

Schefter suggested the move would make sense if the Cardinals were trying to make a trade with the Jaguars for cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who would add $3.
