Vigil is a free agent, so no. Though it might be wiser to cut Kendricks and re-sign Vigil.So does this mean Kendricks is gone?

Cardinals kinda shit the bed last year when they drafted Zaven Collins at #17 overall and proclaimed him a starter in the summer, way before training camp even started; then Collins went on to not be that significant a contributor last year (injuries and Hicks being better mostly).From 6 days ago:
The Arizona Cardinals released veteran linebacker Jordan Hicks on Wednesday.
Hicks, 29, played at a high level last season, registering 116 tackles and four sacks, but the Cardinals are making the move to give fellow inside linebacker Zaven Collins, drafted in the first round last year, more playing time.
The Cardinals had told Collins he would be the starter last season after selecting him 16th overall. Hicks said last year he was "pissed off" when initially told he had lost his starting job to Collins. He requested a trade, which never materialized, and the seven-year veteran ended up starting all 17 games.
It depends on your taste, but I generally like Purple Insider.I don't believe that for a minute. I found that podcast with those two clowns a month or so ago thought I would try it just because I needed to fill a few gaps on a few longer drives and they are essentially unlistenable 97% of the time. Just an awful podcast and exchange of Vikings ideas.
The young kid that does Locked On Vikings on the Locked On network is pretty decent and usually what I listen to on the drive to work in the morning; he injects his liberalism every now and then and he often gets too deep in the woods on schemes and concepts but I would recommend him for a decent Vikings listen. Mackey and Judd are just plain awful. Good grief. There should be better available options for Vikings fans.
Does anyone know of a good Vikings podcast other than those mentioned here?
From PFFHicks isn't good.
Barr might be coming back.
Mannion might be back.
Cousins is already back.
Why did they fire Zimmer and Spielman?
I didn't say bad.From PFF
Hicks wasn’t able to match his production as a Philadelphia Eagle from 2015 through 2018 with the Arizona Cardinals the last three seasons. His collective PFF grade with the Eagles stood at 90.0 while his mark with the Cardinals was a middling 57.6. That said, Hicks is coming off a quality campaign that shows he can still anchor a team’s linebacking corps. He was the 17th-most valuable off-ball linebacker in 2021 and ranked 26th at the position in PFF grade. Hicks’ release is getting overshadowed by Wagner’s — and understandably so — but the former Cardinal could end up one of the better signings of the 2022 offseason.
He will be compared to a Barr or VigilI didn't say bad.
Let's put it another way. He's not a difference maker.
Anyway you can give a hint on this joke so I can play along?What did sauce say
Is this legit?
Vikings Propaganda released to fool/soothe the masses, for the suckas that still follow that shitty product.Is this legit?
Ah right, I forgot that bit. What you say makes sense then, need two true MLB types in the new system.Vikes are changing to a 3-4 base defense.
They need some linebackers. Media reports indicate that Hicks and Kendricks are projected as the 'inside' LB's.
Cool. Makes sense for a 3-4 inside guy.Cardinals kinda shit the bed last year when they drafted Zaven Collins at #17 overall and proclaimed him a starter in the summer, way before training camp even started; then Collins went on to not be that significant a contributor last year (injuries and Hicks being better mostly).
Hicks is a tackling machine, hoping he's got plenty left in the tank for the Vikings.
Dyed in the wool Purple lifer.
I think Barr is going to be an OLB in the 3-4. Maybe more a TE covering guy, while Hunter is more of a rushing guy?He will be compared to a Barr or Vigil
Wonder if they're trying to trade him for draft picks.So interesting thing on Barr's contract is it only costs them CASH if they sign him for 2022 up to his dead money of ~$9 million. Not cap space.
Hes not under contractWonder if they're trying to trade him for draft picks.
Doh! Got it.Hes not under contract
sorry, i didnt explain it well (probably because i dont fully understand it myself)Doh! Got it.
You're saying he costs a $9M cap hit in 2022, no matter what (even if he chooses to sign elsewhere). Must be void years?
EDIT: yes they are, and in fact they automatically void today according to

If true that is insane and shows what a crappy organization it is.KAM supposedly had a trade agreed to with Cleveland to dump Cousins for Mayfield and picks.
The COO didn't like the trade, so he went above KAM and convinced the Wilfs to stop the deal.
The COO appears to be the guy who actually runs the team. KAM took a job that doesn't let him do anything.
