The Arizona Cardinals have decided not to pick up Zaven Collins' fifth-year option, worth $13.2 million. Despite this, the team is pleased with Collins' progress and versatility in their defense. There are ongoing discussions about his future with the team as they navigate salary cap considerations.

Collins, who was drafted by the Cardinals in 2021, has shown promise on the field with 3.5 sacks, interceptions, passes defensed, and quarterback hits in his rookie season as an outside linebacker.
