A curious move today: the Arizona Cardinals cut veteran outside linebacker Terrell Suggs. Suggs was second on the team with 5.5 sacks and also second with 22 pressures according to Sports Info Solutions charting (subscription required). It's hard to figure out a reason for this move. Perhaps the Cardinals wanted to give Suggs one last shot at a Super Bowl run but knew it was too late to trade him at this point, so they are putting him on waivers so a playoff team can claim him? He's good enough, and enough teams need pass-rushing help, that I would expect a wild-card contender to claim him before he gets to the teams with the best records such as Baltimore, New England, or Seattle.
