The Detroit Lions have a major need at Linebacker and one such player who could be on the move is veteran Linebacker Jordan Hicks. Jordan Hicks is a solid Linebacker with much experience playing at a high level. With a base salary of only $2 Million Dollars, the Lions could afford his services at a low price while upgrading the middle of the field that is so desperately needed. MicroMike explains why Jordan Hicks would be a great fit for the Detroit Lions.
The Cardinals drafted Zaven Collins in the first round of the NFL Draft last month and that move is having an impact on one of the team’s veteran defenders.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the team has given linebacker Jordan Hicks permission to speak to other teams about a trade that would move him off the Arizona roster. Hicks agreed to a pay cut earlier this year, but a move before June 1 would offer no cap savings for the Cardinals while a post-June 1 trade would free up over $2.9 million in cap space.
Hicks has started every game for the Cardinals since signing with the team before the 2019 season. He had 268 tackles, four interceptions, two forced fumbles, 1.5 sacks, and a fumble recovery in those games.
Cardinals General Manager Steve Keim said after the first round that the team’s plan is for Collins and 2020 first-rounder Isaiah Simmons to be their starting inside linebackers.
