Okeafor, who is in the final year of his contract, will earn $4.5 million for the Cardinals in 2009.
Three of the top four Cardinals' OLBs are over 30 years old. Okeafor, who is the starter on the strong side, is 33 and Travis Laboy, who starts on the weak side, is 28. Their back-ups, Clark Haggans and Bertrand Berry, are 32 and 34 years old, respectively.
