According to Barry Jackson, the Dolphins have made inquiries on free-agent DT Robert Nkemdiche, who cleared waivers yesterday after being cut by the Cardinals.
Nkemdiche is still recovering from a torn ACL suffered last December, but is expected to be ready for the start of the season in September from a health standpoint. Jackson says other teams have also inquired.
The Cardinals moved on from Nkemdiche, a former first-round pick, after he showed up to training camp out of shape.
Nkemdiche, 24, is a former first-round pick of the Cardinals back in 2016. He was in the final year of his four-year, $7.6 million contract and set to make a base salary of $1,122,808 for the 2019 season when the Cardinals waived him this past weekend.
Arizona declined Nkemdiche’s fifth-year option back in May. He was in line be an unrestricted free agent in 2020.
In 2018, Nkemdiche appeared in 10 games for the Cardinals and recorded 32 tackles, 4.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a pass defense.
