Two former Arizona Cardinals are reportedly headed elsewhere in the NFL.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, former Cardinals tight end Ricky Seals-Jones has been claimed off of waivers by the Cleveland Browns.
Schefter also reports that former wideout Pharoh Cooper has been claimed by the Cincinnati Bengals.
Seals-Jones and Cooper were a part of the 28 players released on Saturday as the team looks to trim down the roster to 53.
