The Arizona Cardinals waived linebacker Terrell Suggs on Friday, head coach Kliff Kingsbury announced, per ESPN's Josh Weinfuss.

Kingsbury said the decision was mutual, as it will provide Arizona with a chance to put younger players on the field and will give the veteran pass-rusher an opportunity to join a new team.

If another club claims Suggs on Monday, it will owe him $353,000 for the final two weeks of the regular season, according to ESPN's Field Yates.

The Cardinals signed Suggs, who spent 16 years with the Baltimore Ravens, as a free agent last offseason, but his playing time decreased throughout the campaign.

Suggs - whose contract will be up at the end of 2019 - produced 5.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, and 37 tackles for the Cardinals.

The seven-time Pro Bowler racked up 18 sacks across his last two years with Baltimore. He could be an intriguing late-season addition for a team looking to boost its pass rush.
