The full list includes:
- DT Myles Adams
- LB Aaron Donkor (international)
- G Greg Eiland
- WR Aaron Fuller
- WR Penny Hart
- DT Jarrod Hewitt
- WR Cade Johnson
- RB Josh Johnson
- G Pier-Olivier Lestage
- TE Tyler Mabry
- DT Robert Nkemdiche
- CB John Reid
- LB Jon Rhattigan
- WR Cody Thompson
Nkemdiche, 26, was taken in the first round out of Ole Miss by 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.
Arizona had declined Nkemdiche’s fifth-year option back in May and moved on from him after he showed up to training camp out of shape. The Dolphins later signed him to a one-year, $1.16 million deal but waived him in November.
He appeared in just two games for the Dolphins in 2019 and did not record a statistic. The Seahawks signed him following a workout this past summer.
In 2018, Nkemdiche appeared in 10 games for the Cardinals and recorded 32 tackles, 4.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a pass defense.
