PHOENIX - Plenty of changes in the Cardinals locker room Friday: John Skelton has been named the starting quarterback over Kevin Kolb, and 22 players cut from the team.
The biggest "name" player to be let go: linebacker Clark Haggans.
Haggans was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2000 after playing football at Colorado State University. In March of 2008, Haggans agreed to a one-year contract with the Cardinals but had to be placed on injury reserves after a foot injury in December.
As an unrestricted free agent in 2009, Haggans signed a 3-year deal with the Cardinals and went on to register 74 tackles, five sacks and one fumble recovery in 13 games.
Other players to be cut:
Stephen Williams
DeMarco Sampson
Alfonso Smith
D.J. Young
Crezdon Butler
Antonio Coleman
Blake Gideon
Russ Hochstein
Ricky Lumpkin
Colin Parker
Larry Parker
Steve Skelton
Quan Sturdivant
Ronald Talley
Everrrett Thompson
Martell Webb
Scott Wedige
Isaiah Williams
