Arizona’s off-season is off to a busy start. Yesterday they added veteran pass-rusher Terell Suggs. Now they have added an inside linebacker with Hicks.
The 26-year-old Hicks spent his first four years of his carer with the Eagles.
Combined in those four seasons, he made 254 total tackles, made seven interceptions and forced six fumbles.
In 2017 he was a pivotal piece to the Eagles super bowl championship defense. In Arizona Hicks will be the team’s starting middle linebacker.
He will look to help be the main piece of an Arizona defense who hopes to improve significantly from a 2018 season that saw them finish 20th in total defense.
