Report: Cardinals not picking up Reddick's 5th-year option

The Arizona Cardinals aren't picking up the fifth-year option in linebacker Haason Reddick's contract, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

As a result, the 2020 season will be the final one in Reddick's contract with Arizona, barring a new deal.

Reddick is the latest first-round draft pick from the 2017 class to have the option in his rookie contract declined. The options for Mitchell Trubisky, Solomon Thomas, Leonard Fournette, Corey Davis, John Ross, Garett Bolles, Jarrad Davis, Charles Harris, and Takkarist McKinley were also reportedly declined.

In three seasons, Reddick has recorded 192 tackles, 7.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles. The inside linebacker and 13th overall pick started just five of the 16 games he appeared in last season.

The Cardinals used their eighth overall draft pick in April on linebacker/safety Isaiah Simmons.
