The Cardinals have continued to strengthen their defensive line this offseason by signing Patrick Jenkins, as Monti Ossenfort remains focused on bolstering the defensive front.
At the same time, the team announced they have released defensive lineman Ben Stille, who had been with the team for most of 2024.
Jenkins, who played at Tulane, went undrafted in last month’s NFL Draft. A native of New Orleans, he attended the Saints’ rookie minicamp recently but was not signed.
During his last two seasons at Tulane, Jenkins led the team in sacks and tackles for loss. Over his three-year college career, he tallied 107 tackles, 28 tackles for loss, and 13 sacks. He also recorded a safety in Tulane’s thrilling 46-45 Cotton Bowl win over USC in 2023.
The Cardinals’ defensive line now features additions like Dalvin Tomlinson, Calais Campbell, Walter Nolen III, and a healthy group including Darius Robinson, Justin Jones, and Bilal Nichols. Jenkins enters a crowded and talented position group just ahead of OTA practices.
