Monti Ossenfort has heavily invested in the defensive front throughout the offseason and continues to do so by adding Patrick Jenkins.<\/p>\n
The Cardinals also announced the release of defensive lineman Ben Stille, who had spent most of 2024 with the team.<\/p>\n
Jenkins, a defensive lineman out of Tulane, went undrafted last month. The New Orleans native earned an invite to the Saints’ rookie minicamp a few weeks back but was not signed.<\/p>\n
Over the last two seasons, Jenkins was the Green Wave’s leader in sacks and tackles for loss. He finished his three-year career with 107 tackles, 28 tackles for loss, and 13 sacks. Jenkins was also credited with a safety in Tulane’s 46-45 Cotton Bowl victory over USC in 2023.<\/p>\n
With the additions of Dalvin Tomlinson, Calais Campbell, Walter Nolen III, and a healthy trio of Darius Robinson, Justin Jones, and Bilal Nichols, the Cardinals have a loaded defensive line unit. Jenkins joins the mix in the crowded position room, just days before OTAs take place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Monti Ossenfort has heavily invested in the defensive front throughout the offseason and continues to do so by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83550,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2078],"tags":[375,390,2604,1327,1051,7,1053,1052,88,6,3571,1252],"class_list":{"0":"post-83549","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arizona-cardinals","8":"tag-arizona","9":"tag-arizona-cardinals","10":"tag-arizonacardinals","11":"tag-cardinals","12":"tag-featured-articles","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-home-page-news-headlines","15":"tag-mega-feed","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-transactions","19":"tag-zach-gershman"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114581782407116359","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83549"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83549\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
