Deone Bucannon, a 26-year-old 2014 first-round pick for the Arizona Cardinals will not be donning Cardinal red in 2019. But, he does join a familiar face as he signs with the Bruce Arians, Todd Bowles, and Larry Foote. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the deal will be for just one year.
After the Cardinals signed veteran linebackers Jordan Hicks and Terrell Suggs to start free agency, Bucannon’s future with the team looked bleaker than ever. In 2018, the safety turned linebacker struggled in Steve Wilks’ 4-3 system as he graded as Pro Football Focus‘ 86th linebacker, with an abysmal grade of 45.
