Cards give veteran LB permission to seek trade after drafting Zaven Collins.
Interesting as I assumed they would initially rotate Collins in slowly but if Hicks is gone he will be our starting 'backer with Budda i would think wearing the green dot.

Probably a release:
$6M cap hit in 2021.
If designated as post 6/1 - would be split $3m (2021) and $3m in (2022)
So much for Hicks mentoring Collins...
I’m ok with that... MLB is the one position where rookies routinely come in and make an impact. Hopefully ours does.
Oh, I'm cool with it too. The story since the draft was how great it would be to have Hicks mentoring Collins. I was just saying that is out the window.
Toss the rookie out there, IMHO. Let's go !!
Yeah we really have no seasoned vet at ILB if he’s gone. That’s kind of squirrelly.Too bad, Hicks would have been a good tutor for Collins and also a solid backup in case of injury.
Just speculation but I’m guessing once it was put out there that Collins is going to be and expected to be the starter Hicks asked for this....

Yup, almost certainly this is Hicks request and the team want to give him a chance and not keep a disgruntled guy around.
Win win really for the FO. If he tests the market and finds no takers then he stays and it removes any issues with feeling unhappy. If he finds a buyer then we get something back for him.
We still have Vallejo for depth and he was better than Hicks last year.
This seems pretty naive.

Yep. Our first rounder had better be everything advertised, and possibly more, from day one, else we're rather screwed up the middle. Not that Hicks was any great shakes or anything, but we're stripping the position down and counting heavily on the kid.
Slapping a rookie right into the starting spot? Sheez. Love Zaven, but I'm wary. Is this a knee jerk reaction to VJ and company butchering Isaiah Simmons rookie campaign?? This could end poorly IMO. Praying that's not the case.
