The Arizona Cardinals made a series of roster moves on Wednesday that included moving on from veteran wideout Robbie Anderson and Pro Bowl center Rodney Hudson.

The moves will bring additional cap relief to the Cardinals, who were already below the salary cap. With Anderson off the books, Arizona will save $12 million, while Hudson’s departure can get them an additional $3 million in savings if he’s designated post-June 1 cut.

Anderson joined the Cardinals midway through the 2022 NFL season in a trade from the Carolina Panthers. The 29-year-old player only had seven catches for 76 yards during his time in Arizona. He had accumulated a total of 375 receptions for 4,956 yards and 29 touchdowns since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2016.

Hudson, on the other hand, played four games with the Cardinals in 2022 after struggling with a series of injuries. The three-time Pro Bowler with the Las Vegas Raiders, the 33-year-old player is expected to retire at some point this offseason.

The Cardinals are expected to continue rebuilding their roster in the coming weeks in hopes of bouncing back after a disappointing 4-13 campaign. Arizona will enter the 2023 season with a new head coach, having replaced Kliff Kingsbury with Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon last month.

Oakland Raiders hadn’t finished spending money this offseason. The team announced on Friday that they have signed center Rodney Hudson to a multi-year extension.

Although Raiders failed to disclose the financial terms of the deal, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the deal is worth $33.75 million over three years with $24.4 million being guaranteed. This deal makes Hudson the highest-paid center in NFL at the moment.

Since the 30-year-old had one year left on his old deal, this extension will now keep him with the organization through 2022.

Rodney Hudson spent the first four years of his career with Kansas City Chiefs, who took him in the second round of 2011 NFL Draft.  After his rookie deal expired, he decided to sign with Oakland Raiders in 2014 and became the franchise’s starting center.

After missing three games in his first year in Oakland, Hudson was ever-present on the field for the Raiders and established himself as one of the best players at his position in the entire NFL. He has two career Pro Bowls while also making PFWA All-AFC Team in 2015.

Since joining the Oakland Raiders as a free agent in 2015, Rodney Hudson established himself as one of the best centers in the game. This is why it isn’t surprising that Raiders want to lock him for years to come.

Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Raiders’ head coach Jon Gruden confirmed that the team has opened the contract extension talks with Hudson.

“I know [Raiders’ GM Mike Mayock] has talked to his agent,” – said Gruden. “I don’t want to get into specifics of those conversations, but we consider him a big piece of this franchise and we’re going to do everything we can to keep him here for a long time.”

Gruden also reflected on the fact that Hudson recently got his Master of Business and Administration degree from Nova Southeastern University.

“He has graduated from Pass Protection U and Run Blocking State, and now he has a Master’s degree in business,” – he added. “That just certifies what kind of guy you’re dealing with. He’s a great player on the field. He’s one of our captains and team leaders and is as tough a guy as we have. I’ve seen him play with kidney stones and various ailments. To get a Master’s degree is a huge accomplishment, and I’ll compliment him until the day’s end. He’s special.”

Rodney Hudson currently has one year left on his contract and is scheduled to earn $8.25 million in 2019. He restructured his deal in the last offseason, so it is expected that he will look to make up for the lost money with his new contract.

Since entering the league in 2011 as a second-round pick, Hudson played 112 games in NFL and had 96 starts. He earned two Pro Bowl appearances as well.
