Cardinals acquire S Rhodes from Jets

Football Betting Lines

03/06/2010 - Tempe, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Arizona Cardinals have acquired safety Kerry Rhodes from the New York Jets in exchange for two draft picks.

The Jets will receive Arizona's fourth-round selection in 2010 and seventh- round selection in 2011.

"We all know that the safety position was a hole we needed to fill," said Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt just a day after Antrel Rolle signed with the Giants. "To be able to do that so quickly and with a proven starter off the NFL's No. 1 defense is a tremendous positive for our football team."

Rhodes had spent all five of his NFL seasons with the Jets and has appeared in all 16 regular-season games every year. All but two of those contests have been starts. The 27-year-old Louisville product has totaled 15 interceptions, 42 passes defensed, six forced fumbles and nine sacks.

In 2009, Rhodes had 62 tackles, three picks, 13 passes defensed and one fumble recovery for New York. He also started all three of the Jets' postseason games, as the club made an unlikely run to the AFC Championshp game.

The move continues a roster makeover for the Cardinals, who let Rolle and linebacker Karlos Dansby go through free agency, while trading wide receiver Anquan Boldin to Baltimore and losing quarterback Kurt Warner to retirement.
