Worst tragedy: Cardinals release 6 deadly” veterans key men in 53-man roster unfortunate” countdown” could hurt the entire team later…
The Arizona Cardinals began the process of trimming their roster ahead of the NFL’s mandatory 53-man roster deadline by releasing six players on August 26, 2024. These cuts are part of the team’s efforts to finalize their roster for the upcoming season. The players released include wide receiver Daylen Baldwin, linebacker Chris Garrett, cornerbacks Delonte Hood and Michael Ojemudia, safety Verone McKinley III, and offensive lineman Austen Pleasants.
This initial wave of cuts reduced a crowded cornerback room, which had 11 players competing for spots. Notably, Baldwin, who joined the Cardinals just two weeks prior, had brief stints with the Cleveland Browns, Minnesota Vikings, and Atlanta Falcons before landing in Arizona. Meanwhile, Ojemudia, a former third-round pick by the Denver Broncos, and Garrett, who had been vying for a spot among the Cardinals’ pass rushers, were also let go.
These decisions are just the beginning, as the Cardinals will need to make more cuts before the final roster is set. The team is focused on balancing depth and talent as they prepare for the season opener.
