GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) _ The Arizona Cardinals have released five-time Pro Bowl strong safety Adrian Wilson.  Click here to read the official statement from the AZ Cardinals.
 
Wilson, who had been the longest-tenured player on the team, took a pay cut to stay with the Cardinals before last season, but knew as it was winding down that it would be his final one in the desert.
 
Wilson played 12 seasons with the Cardinals and is one of six NFL players with 25 interceptions and 25.5 sacks. A Pro Bowler in 2006 and 2008-11, he has 27 interceptions and 25.5 sacks, including eight in 2005, which were the most ever by a defensive back.
 
Wilson played 181 games with Arizona, fifth-most in team history, and was a team captain five times, including last season.
