What happened: The Arizona Cardinals announced the signing of tight end Kenny Yeboah on Thursday, while simultaneously waiving undrafted rookie linebacker Stephen Dix Jr. Yeboah, who spent time with the Jets and Lions, joins a room already featuring Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins, while the team's defensive front remains understaffed following a 2025 season where the unit struggled against the run.
Why it matters: While Yeboah offers familiarity with offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur from their time together in New York, the move does nothing to address a defensive line that was one of the league's worst in 2025. Former first-round pick Darius Robinson finished as PFF's lowest-graded interior defender last season with a 30.1 grade, and with Christian Wilkins still on the market, the Cardinals are prioritizing marginal depth over a much-needed defensive anchor.
