Report: Cardinals tell Matt Leinart he's gone
Matt Leinart - QB - Arizona Cardinals
Sept. 4, 2010 - 2:25 PM ET
The Cardinals have told Matt Leinart they will release him today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
It's not a surprise given the events of the last week, but Leinart was somehow holding out hope that he could stick in Arizona and get a chance to start at some point this season. It speaks volumes that the Cardinals were willing to give up Leinart for a seventh-round pick and found no takers -- not even his former college coach Pete Carroll. Leinart is not going to garner much interest around the league, especially while he thinks he deserves to be a starter.
