Following a successful 10-year NFL career in which he was drafted by the defending Super Bowl champs, earned two Pro Bowl selections and racked up gaudy numbers, tight end Todd Heap was coming home. Released unexpectedly by the Baltimore Ravens, the former Mesa Mountain View and Arizona State standout signed a two-year deal with the Cardinals.
"What better way to finish a career than to take the Cardinals back to the top?" he said when he arrived at training camp in Flagstaff last year.
Initially reluctant about the deal, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt changed his mind just a few days into training camp when he watched Heap compete at a high level and make the safety-valve and red-zone catches that could help new quarterback Kevin Kolb succeed. Despite adapting to a new offense, Heap caught two passes for 40 yards in the season opener and grabbed six and four respectively in Weeks 3 and 4.
But a hamstring injury forced him out of the next three games, and when he returned against the Rams on Nov. 6, he re-aggravated it, missing three of the next four games.

So, if Heep gets released, does he come back to Baltimore?
