The Cardinals released running back Marcel Shipp on Monday, according to The Arizona Republic. "The Cardinals told Marcel they were releasing him now so he would have a better chance of catching on with another team," agent Brad Blank said. Releasing Shipp will save the Cardinals $1.75 million against this year?s salary cap. "He?s a great team guy," Coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "To me, the one thing that I see really about Marcel is that he?s interested in team success, and he?ll do whatever it takes for that, to make sure it?s guaranteed." "He?s a good leader. He works hard. The guys like him, and he?s a good teammate. To me, when you talk about good pros, good teammates, he?s at the top of the list on both of those."
