Sendlein was released by the Cardinals on Thursday, Darren Urban of azcardinals.com reports. | ||||||
Sendlein started all 16 games in six of the past seven seasons, working mostly on poor offensive lines. His release will save Arizona $3 million against the 2015 cap. | ||||||
| Tue Jul 29 2014 | 14:34 | Cardinals C Sendlein (calf) to miss 3 weeks | ||||
Cardinals C Lyle Sendlein will be sidelined three weeks with a calf injury. | ||||||
Ted Larsen will handle pivot duties while he's out. If Sendlein's injury lingers into the season, second-year LG Jonathan Cooper has experience at center. Paul Fanaika and Earl Watford could then man the guard spots. Sendlein is a strong run blocker and has started all 16 games in five of the past six seasons. | ||||||

| Mon Nov 26 2012 | 16:33 | Cards lose Lyle Sendlein to injured reserve | ||||
Cardinals placed C Lyle Sendlein on injured reserve with a torn MCL, ending his season. | ||||||
The injury will require surgery. Sendlein is hardly a dominant center, but this is just another big loss to a terrible Cardinals offensive line that can't afford it. Signed to a new five-year, $16.25 million deal two offseasons ago, Sendlein had not missed a start since 2007, his rookie season. | ||||||

| Thu Jul 28 2011 | 21:50 | Cardinals keep center Lyle Sendlein | ||||
Cardinals agreed to terms with C Lyle Sendlein on a multi-year contract. | ||||||
One less candidate for the Bears and 49ers. Undrafted out of Texas in 2007, Sendlein has emerged as an offensive leader and perhaps the only credible pass blocker on Arizona's offensive line. The 27-year-old has some work to do as a run blocker, but this was an important signing for Kevin Kolb. | ||||||

Free agent Lyle Sendlein graded out as the third-best pass-blocking center in the NFL last season, according to Pro Football Focus. | ||||||
He was the lone stalwart on one of the worst pass-blocking units in the league. The Cardinals realize Sendlein's value, naming him offensive captain along with Larry Fitzgerald last season. Arizona is believed to have a "good chance" of re-signing the four-year veteran. | ||||||

| Mon Apr 4 2011 | 17:10 | Cards should be able to retain C Sendlein | ||||
Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com believes that the team has a "good chance" to re-sign free agent C Lyle Sendlein. | ||||||
Free agent guards Deuce Lutui and Alan Faneca are "much bigger unknowns," according to the team's website. Sendlein was tendered as a restricted free agent after four years of service. The ease with which the Cards are able to re-sign him will depend on whether there's a new CBA or the lockout is rescinded in court. A new CBA would likely make Sendlein unrestricted. | ||||||

| Thu Feb 24 2011 | 21:25 | Cardinals to keep O-Line intact | ||||
The Cardinals believe they have a good chance to re-sign impending free agent C Lyle Sendlein and RG Deuce Lutui. | ||||||
Both players are likely to be unrestricted in free agency. They may have already been locked up if not for the 30 percent rule, however. The Cardinals are also trying to convince Alan Faneca to come back, with the idea of returning the entire offensive line. Unfortunately, it remains a subpar unit. | ||||||
