Cornerback Trayvon Mullen is reportedly on his way out in Arizona.
Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the Cardinals are waiving Mullen on Tuesday. The move comes a day after Mullen played a season-high 42 defensive snaps against the Patriots.
Garafolo notes that cutting Mullen ensures that the Raiders will be receiving a 2023 seventh-round pick to complete the August 30 trade that sent the corner to Arizona. The pick would have upgraded to a sixth-rounder if Mullen played two more games for the Cardinals.
Mullen had six tackles and a pass defensed against New England, but also picked up a facemask penalty. He had seven tackles and a forced fumble in his other seven appearances this season.
UPDATE 4:42 p.m. ET: The Cardinals have officially announced the move.
