Getty ImagesThe Cardinals will release free safety Kerry Rhodes, a league source told PFT’s Mike Florio on Wednesday.
Per Rotoworld.com financial figures, Rhodes was slated to make $5.5 million in 2013 ($4.5 million in salary, $1 million in bonus).
Rhodes, 30, notched 67 tackles and intercepted four passes in 2012 for Arizona.
The Cardinals will have new starters at both safety spots in 2013. Last week, they parted ways with long-time strong safety Adrian Wilson.

Come over to the Broncos! We need more depth in our defensive secondary. Four INTs sounds pretty nice.
I’m betting he joins his previous DC in CLE
I got the Wilson release. He was getting old and made a lot of money. Rhodes has been a good player the last couple of years. I’m not sure why we cut him.
Remember when Rhodes and Wilson were two of the better safeties in the NFL? These two have fallen off significantly the last few years.
Good he cant cover DeSean or Maclin. The Cards recognized this and are making an attempt to fix it. Chip Kelly will dominate.
It was that lousy performance in the Eagles game last season that convinced the geniuses in Cardinals management to cut Rhodes.
Chargers.
Cmon Telesco… Rock n Roll.
Cards are certainly going for younger. I could see the Adrian Wilson move given his age, diminished role… this is tough as Rhodes really played well for Arizona.
After the Texans lost Glover Quin, they need to jump on this guy.

Reunite with Horton in Cleveland!
texans we need a safety
He played well last year & during his time in AZ. It’s a buyers market for DB(s) in 2013 & $6 mil was too much to pay for his final season when you can get younger for cheaper for longer.
Wow those guys both played well last year. Wilson especially with the injury he had.
Charger-Panthers
Broncos
Raiders!
Broncos need him
Baltimore could use him
Might as well release everyone right Cardinals?? Ridiculous!!! I bet the next one to be released is Kolb!!!
Jets
He will go to Cleveland and they will have a top 5 DEF next year. Is anyone else paying attention to their moves?!
I can’t believe this… Who is going to play safety now?
Cardinals shooting for that #1 overall draft pick in 2014!
So, when are we supposed to be getting better? Seems like we’ve taken multiple steps back, and a half step forward (signing Mendenhall)…
He would be a good fit in SF. That production level is on par with what Goldson did last year. Strange move by AZ.
The DB pool for free agents and draft prospects are deep this year!!
I’d sure like him in DC, but I doubt that will happen.
This move makes no sense, he has been a solid fs since he joined the cards. I really hope that Arians and keim have have something already in the works to fill his spot.
Skins
Sounds like the new Bidwill is much like his father “Dollar” Bill Bidwill. Looks and smells like a salary dump to me.
Remember how the Cards fans hated Whiz….now their wondering why all of the cuts…Regime change folks!
Bengals have plenty of cap space….
He will go to Cleveland and they will have a top 5 DEF next year. Is anyone else paying attention to their moves?!
yea we see yr moves, overpay for a mediocre few good games OLB, u still dont have a QB, its a league of scoring points, playa!!!
Trade for Taylor mays
bruce arians wont last long in AZ
I can see him going to Cle.
he’s only 30 so cleveland get him
titans, lets dump griffin to get money to sign osi
Also cards will sign michael huff and draft the fiu safety
Redskins NEED secondary upgrades…they also need cap room to do so.
I wish the Browns would go after him, we need to put a good FS next to Ward
Anyone else think that the picture looks like Kerry Rhodes is giving it to #22?
