In what was expected following the release of Clark Haggans the Cardinals added a Linebacker to the mix.

Two teams had put in Waiver claims for Westerman, the Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers. Formerly drafted by the Jets he was then picked up by the Dolphins this offseason. According to people over at the SB Nation site 'Phinsider', the fans didn't think much of him. He was cut in favor of two rookies, one of them being undrafted, and didn't receive a lot of time on the field. He also wasn't a fit in their 4-3 Defense. Jets were high on him. but after failing to get big numbers like he was projected to in 2011, they cut ties with him. Here are his stats.

2009- 14 GP 10 tackles, 1 sack

2010- 6 GP 7 tackles, 0 sacks

2011- 16 GP, 32 tackles, 3.5 sacks

He is however in the vicinity of every play, and makes plays recovering a fumble in each of his first 3 seasons, and can knock the ball out as well. I don't see him as anything more than relief, but in Ray Hortons Defensive scheme where the linebackers are the key to success, maybe he'll find his niche.

*NOTE*

Quarterback Rich Bartel is expected to be released today.

DT Ricky Lumpkin & Ricky Elmore (UofA) added to PS.
