Hoist the Lombardi Trophy
Btw good riddance
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
Trade him for something, some team would take a flyer on him for maybe a 4th or 5th
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!Can’t do that until he is healthy, which won’t be until the season has already started.
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.
Screw it, I'll tell the story... I think this one could have come from anyone.Got a leave some info, or not say it at all

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.
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.FIFY.

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