Arizona Cardinals made a surprising decision over the weekend, deciding to release linebacker Terrell Suggs. The news was confirmed by Cardinals’ head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who said that the decision was mutual.

According to Kingsbury, Cardinals want to give a chance to some other players while allowing Suggs, who started the first 13 games of the season for Arizona, to find a new team.

“We’d been having conversations as the season went on, as his role has been reduced,” – said Kingsbury. “We kind of made the shift to playing some younger players, moved Haason (Reddick) out there (to outside linebacker). In fairness to him, to try to find a better fit right now, we released Terrell. I just have so much respect for him and what he brought, and wanted to give him that opportunity.”

After spending his entire career with Baltimore Ravens, Suggs signed with the Arizona Cardinals during the offseason, wanting to prolong his career. He had a productive season so far, contributing with 37 tackles, 5.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. This makes the 37-year-old an intriguing candidate for several teams who need depth on the defensive end.

However, it seems like Terrell Suggs is willing to play for just one team at this moment. Reportedly, Suggs made it clear to all other teams that he doesn’t intend to report if they claim him as he wants to return to Ravens. We will have to wait a few more days to see whether his return to Baltimore is realistic or not.

Suggs probably sees the Ravens potential, as they are arguably the best team in NFL at the moment, and would like to retire on a high note and at home. He played 16 years in Baltimore, winning one Super Bowl and getting seven Pro Bowl appearances.

It’s an end of an era. Pro Bowl outside linebacker Terrell Suggs decided to leave Baltimore Ravens after 16 years with the franchise. According to ESPN, Suggs already broke the news to his Ravens’ teammates while NFL Network’s Ian Rappaport reports that the 36-year-old will sign with the Arizona Cardinals.

The news came as quite a surprise, since Terrell Suggs, who was the last remaining starter on defense who was part of the team that won Super Bowl in 2012, stated several times that he would like to finish his NFL career in Baltimore and be “Raven for life.” Instead, he will spend 2019 season as part of a rebuilding team in Arizona while Ravens continue to retool their defense as they previously released safety Eric Weddle while linebacker C.J. Mosley is expected to leave in free agency.

Despite his advanced age, Suggs proved that he can still be an impactful player as he started all 16 games for the Ravens in 2018. He had 34 tackles and 7.0 sacks alongside one fumble recovery for a touchdown.

Terrell Suggs will leave the Baltimore Ravens as one of best players in the franchise history and one of the most accomplished pass rushers in the league’s history. During his career, Suggs managed to get 132.5 sacks, which rank him first among all active players and 13th on the all-time list. He has seven Pro Bowl appearances alongside one First-team All-Pro honor while being named NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2011.
