The Cardinals have opted not to pick up Collins' fifth-year option, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This move is somewhat of a surprise, as Collins' started all 33 games he has played the previous two seasons, and he projects to continue starting at defensive end in 2024. He did see his production decrease this past year in the tackle department, dropping from 100 (63) in 2022 to 41 (27 solo) in 2023. The 24-year-old is now heading into a contract year and will look to prove his value accordingly.
Teams have his 100 tackle season on film now and they did their best to stop him meaning someone else is freed up to have a great season on the other side. If nobody else had a great season on the other side, then thats a team problem and I can promise he will cash in somewhere else.
If they are known for anything it would be their secondary
Between Budda .. formerly pat Pete.. and before him when they experimented moving 215 pound Safety , Deone Buchanan from safety to LB (which initially paid off for them)

Cardinals love handicapping player growth apparently these days

Their front 7 has been atrocious for decades.

To me it feels like they are in full "reset" mode

I am trying to remember when they were not in full reset mode. They have flashes but every squirrel gets a nut every now and then.
