Cardinals Set to Release DT Dalvin Tomlinson After One Season

The cap-driven move frees roughly $9.4 million following an underwhelming year for the veteran lineman.

Overview

  • Multiple reports indicate Arizona will move on from the 32-year-old after just one season on a two-year, $29 million contract.
  • The release is expected to save about $9.4 million and push the Cardinals’ projected cap space past $48 million.
  • Tomlinson started all 17 games but delivered modest production with 26 tackles and one sack, per the reporting.
  • Pro Football Focus graded him 114th among qualified interior defensive linemen as Arizona finished 3-14 with a defensive slide.
  • This marks his first one-and-done stop after previous multi-year tenures with the Giants, Vikings and Browns, the latter having released him in 2025.
