Jordan Hicks Fantasy

Linebacker Jordan Hicks has agreed to a two-year deal with the Vikings. Hicks is rumored to make $12 million, and the signing comes after the Cardinals released him to save cap space. The 29-year-old has started 51 consecutive games over the years. While his production has dipped since he accumulated 149 total tackles, three picks, and 1.5 sacks in 2019, his ability to stay on the field could go a long way for fantasy managers in deeper IDP formats.

The Arizona Cardinals are releasing linebacker Jordan Hicks. The 29-year-old spent each of the past three seasons with the team and didn't miss a single regular season game, compiling triple-digit tackles each year. Last year, he even added a career-high four sacks. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Cardinals are making the move to release Hicks in order to allow their young first-round linebackers Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons to have more time on the field.

The Arizona Cardinals have given linebacker Jordan Hicks permission to seek a trade, according to a source. The Cardinals selected linebacker Zaven Collins with the 16th overall pick in the first round of this year's draft, and he will be the starting Mike linebacker in his rookie season. Hicks took a $3 million pay cut and will now make $2 million in base salary with a chance to make $1 million in 2021. It's possible that he'll remain with the team as a reserve linebacker, but first he'll gauge the market. Hicks also has $2 million available this season in playing-time incentives. The 28-year-old signed with Arizona in 2019, and he finished with 118 tackles and four passes defensed last season.
