The Arizona Cardinals are releasing cornerback Jamar Taylor, whom they acquired in a trade with the Cleveland Browns this offseason, confirms 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station’s John Gambadoro.
Gambadoro added that David Amerson — whom the Cardinals signed last week — is likely to take Taylor’s place.
The news was first reported by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
Taylor was traded in May for a 2019 sixth-round pick by Cleveland, where Taylor played two seasons.
