The Arizona Cardinals have begun the process of cutting their offseason roster to the regular-season 53-man roster. They announced a series of cuts on Monday, letting 12 players go. None was a surprising cut.

The Cardinals have four outside linebackers that are locks — Josh Sweat, Zaven Collins, Baron Browning and rookie Jordan Burch, selected in the third round. Keeping five outside backers is normal, so that leaves room for Thomas, or does it?
