Elks realease DL Robert Nkemdiche

Nkemdiche was a former 1st round pick (2016) of the Arizona Cardinals. In four games, Nkemdiche made seven tackles and two sacks. Might be worth a look. We could use help up front.

Only reason he's here is because Chris Jones is obsessed with guys with NFL pedigree. Jones was fired, so this guy was immediately cut.

With 7 tackles and 2 sacks in 4 games this season, he would statistically be the 3rd best DL in our dressing room this season, behind only Willy and Jake. Just sayin.

I don't know what our aversion to bringing in another defensive tackle is. I mean, we're starting Jake Thomas. Bring him in.

No kidding. Our pass rush is embarrassing and we're debating whether or not to bring a guy like this in?? Seriously??

With TyJuan Garbutt and Willy J. on the ends I thought we were much improved against the Riders. We generated pressure and got some big sacks. We only allowed 19 points and were a Demski fumble away from tying the game late. I agree we should always be looking to improve our personnel if it makes fiscal sense to do so.

This guy's a DT? What's his height/weight?

I've never heard of him, which means he couldn't have been making game-altering plays in EDM... which explains why he's out of a job.

My credo is be careful with barely-played-in-the-NFL guys. They often have the "I'm too good for this Canadian crap" attitude. If he remotely landed on Mafia radar, I'm sure he'll get a little discussion in the bowels of PAS. I wouldn't hold my breath on this guy...
