Kwamie Lassiter, the safety who had four interceptions in the Cardinals' season-finale victory that clinched a playoff berth in 1998, died Sunday. He was 49.

"We were all devastated to learn of Kwamie's passing today and our hearts go out to all of his family and friends," Cardinals team president Michael Bidwill said in a statement. "Kwamie came to the Cardinals as an undrafted rookie free agent. He not only became a key contributor to our team for eight seasons but continued to make an impact on this community after his playing days ended. He will be missed greatly."
