The Cardinals are releasing Golden on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Golden struggled to make an impact in 2022 and posted just 48 tackles and 2.5 sacks across 17 regular-season appearances. His release will save the Cardinals approximately $3 million in cap space, per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site. Golden posted 11 sacks during his first season back with Arizona in 2021 and has three career double-digit sack campaigns, so he could be an intriguing free agent and potential bounce-back candidate in 2023.
