The Cardinals attempted to retain Dansby, and reportedly offered the veteran a two-year contract worth between $10 million and $12 million. The Titans also had been interested in Dansby.

Jackson set the market for inside linebackers last week when he signed a four-year, $22 million deal with the Indianapolis Colts that included $11 million guaranteed.
