The Facts:
The Cardinals released Shipp on Monday. Shipp's agent, Brad Blank, confirmed the news. Shipp was due to make $1.75 million this year, the second year of a three-year contract he signed last year. He received no signing bonus, so the Cardinals save $1.75 million against the cap.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Republic staffer Kent Somers, Shipp didn't get much work late last week, as rookie Tim Hightower took more snaps than usual. Shipp had been running with the second team behind Edgerrin James. J.J. Arrington appeared to be in more danger of getting cut than any of the other running backs, and his place on the roster still isn't certain.
