Cardinals Claim CB Alfonzo Dennard Off Of Waivers From Patriots

ESPN’s Field Yates reports that the Arizona Cardinals have claimed CB Alfonzo Dennard off of waivers from the Patriots on Wednesday.

It was somewhat surprising to see the Patriots cut Dennard loose after they lost their top-two cornerbacks from last year. Although, Dennard played a limited role for them in 2014 and has had off-the-field issues in the past.

Dennard, 25, is in the final year of his four-year, $2.157 million rookie contract and was set to make a base salary of $1.542 million for the 2015 season.

In 2014, Dennard appeared in six games for the Patriots and record 15 tackles, one interception and a pass defense.
