The Arizona Cardinals officially released veteran CB Robert Alford on Wednesday.
Alford missed the entire 2020 season with a torn pec that resulted in him being placed on injured reserve.
Alford, 32, is a former second-round pick of the Falcons back in 2013. He finished the second year of a four-year, $38 million dollar contract that included $21 million guaranteed when the Falcons released him.
The Cardinals later signed Alford to a three-year, $22.5 million deal worth up to $24 million and includes $13.5 million guaranteed in 2019.
According to OverTheCap.com, releasing Alford will free up $7.5 million of available cap space while creating $1.5 million in dead money.
In 2018, Alford appeared in 15 games for the Falcons and recorded 50 total tackles, no interceptions, and 11 pass defenses.
