Arizona dumps a rotational linebacker in a cost-cutting move with minimal impact. Headlines emphasize Davis-Gaither's reunion with DC Lou Anarumo in Indianapolis, suggesting scheme fit matters. The Cardinals releasing him indicates he wasn't fitting defensive coordinator requirements or was expendable depth. Fans see this as typical housekeeping for Arizona's defensive rebuild under new leadership. Cardinals must address linebacker depth through draft or free agent acquisitions this offseason.
