Hopkins, who will turn 31 on June 6, had two
years and $34.36 million in base pay left on his contract. He
can now sign with any NFL team, with ESPN reporting the Buffalo
Bills, Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots reportedly
interested.
While the Cardinals will clear $8.15 million in salary cap
space, they will take dead cap hit of $22.6 million, per Spotrac.
A three-time All-Pro, Hopkins recorded 221 receptions for 2,696
yards and 17 touchdowns in his three seasons in Arizona.
Hopkins had 64 catches for 717 yards with three touchdowns
during a 2022 season in which he missed the first six games
while serving a suspension for violating the league's
performance-enhancing drug policy. He sat out the final two
games with a knee injury.
The Cardinals' top wide receivers are Marquise Brown, Greg
Dortch and Rondale Moore.
