Report: Cardinals may cut Robert Nkemdiche

[Buckybird]

Btw good riddance

 

[Ronin]

Ugh.

 

[Finito]

FIFY.

The guy just isn’t a starting caliber DL in the NFL!!! He’s not good enough & doesn’t have the desire to be anything more than mediocre. I said that before he was drafted. That’s reality

Ok

 

[BW52]

I wonder why Nkemdiche doesn`t get the hate that Niklas got ?After all NKemdo-nothing was a 1st round pick.Niklas got blamed for everything and The bum Nkemdonthing gets a pass from some.....makes me wonder?

 

[TJ]

There isn’t any cap savings to cut him and he’ll likely be on PUP to start the season. He’s not being cut

 

[PJ1]

Won't be cut but the guy can't stay healthy. When he does go he won't be missed.

 

[cardpa]

Trade him for something, some team would take a flyer on him for maybe a 4th or 5th

Can’t do that until he is healthy, which won’t be until the season has already started.

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

Everyone of these kind of threads should start off and end with 'fire Keim'.

One of the funniest behind the scenes stories I've ever heard about the Cardinals was about Nkemdiche. It was so bad, I'm surprised we didn't cut him as a rookie.

Not really sure I want to share it and potentially have it track back to a friend, but if this one incident is an example of the kind of attitude the guy has in the locker room, I wouldn't be surprised if we just got rid of him for the sake of making a point about the team's culture.

OMG! the guy never helped the team much because he's always hurt and now we can't even get rid of him because he's hurt. He's a albatross!

Got a leave some info, or not say it at all

 

[JeffGollin]

IMO - Nkemdiche's upside makes it hard to cut him in return for nothing.

His potential is worth something and we ought to get something back for him if we're going to let him go.

Screw it, I'll tell the story... I think this one could have come from anyone.

So the story goes, rookie Nkemdiche tosses/drops a piece of watermelon on the floor in the cafeteria, and doesn't bother to pick it up, disrespectfully leaving it to cleaning staff.

So Bruce Arians in a later meeting calls everyone out, asking who did it, and they need to admit to it before anyone is going to be allowed to leave the meeting room. Some time passes by, no one rats on Nkemdiche, even though some of them definitely know who it was. Finally, Nkemdiche speaks up to Arians, saying "I know who did it..."

Bruce asks, "Who?"

Robert replies, "DEEZ NUTS!"

The room apparently went completely silent, like someone was going to get smacked at the dinner table.

Fitz BURSTS out laughing, and the rest of the room joins in, cracking up.

Of course, Nkemdiche got sent home and got some additional discipline I'm not privy to. But it takes some cajones to say that to Bruce Arians.

this is simultaneously hilarious and head shakingly stupid.

 

[oaken1]

And that may explain why he hardly saw the field in his rookie year....thus slowing his development



Or not

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

FIFY.

Yup. Looks like you called it. If you could count on him to just go full fury on a limited snap count he might be useful. But counting on him being consistent for meaningful number of snaps? Not me.

Ask a rookie who don’t know is going to be injured and suck, okay. Had this happened at anytime after I would’ve said can his ass immediately. Thank his for Fitz who didn’t let it become a thing.

 

[MadCardDisease]

How JJ Nelson, B. Williams and Nkemdiche are still on the roster is beyond me. These guys should have been long gone.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Whether we keep Nkimdiche or not, who cares, he is a non-factor.
