- After battling elbow and rib injuries that cost him five games last season, Hicks decided to step away on his own terms.
- Having played in four cities, Hicks' career totals of 952 tackles and 16.5 sacks underscore his productivity, and he played for Philadelphia, Arizona, Minnesota and Cleveland.
- With his exit, Cleveland must fill two key linebacker gaps before September 7, compounded by Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah's season-ending neck injury.
