Kennard inked a three-year, $20 million deal with Arizona ahead of the 2020 season and is coming off a zero-sack 2021 that spanned 265 defensive snaps. Now 31 years old, Kennard will search for his fourth NFL team. The Cardinals are eating over $2.7 million in dead money against the cap.

Kennard signed a three-year, $20 million contract two years ago. That deal was adjusted in the middle of last season but he didn't do enough to justify keeping him at a $9.1 million cap hit in 2022. The restructure likely represents a pay cut for Kennard, though it's possible that Arizona upped his guaranteed number. Kennard logged 24 combined tackles and a fumble recovery while playing a rotational role in 2021.

Kennard signed a three-year deal with the Cardinals in 2020. He has 20 tackles and a fumble recovery this year.

Kennard was a team captain for the Lions and is coming off a career-high 45 solo tackles, so it's a worthwhile move for Arizona who has been desperate for linebacker and edge play for years. Kennard will be a 29-year-old this year and will be looking it to make it three-straight seasons with at least 7.0 sacks.
