49ers released DL Robert Nkemdiche.

2 years ago

The former first-rounder was a final cut last August for the Seahawks but appeared in nine games and was fairly nondescript. This year, he didn't even make it to the top 85 in San Francisco, where he signed in late July. He may be running out of NFL chances.

49ers signed DL Robert Nkemdiche, formerly of the Seahawks.

Nkemdiche was cut by the Seahawks at the end of training camp last year but resurfaced on their active roster later in the season. He totaled 15 tackles with one QB hit across nine games. A former first-round pick, Nkemdiche is now a roster filler for teams in need of extra defensive line depth. He is not a lock to make the 49ers' 53-man squad.

Coach Pete Carroll talked up Nkemdiche in June, but that predictably fizzled. The former first-rounder has played just two games since the end of the 2018 season. The Seahawks also released/waived CB Damarious Randall, OG Jordan Simmons, DT Myles Adams, TE Ian Bunting, OT Tommy Champion, S Aashari Crosswell, LB Aaron Donkor, OG Greg Eiland, WR Aaron Fuller, WR Penny Hart, CB Gavin Heslop, DT Jarrod Hewitt, G Jared Hocker, WR Cade Johnson, RB Josh Johnson, OG Pier-Olivier Lestage, C Brad Lundblade, TE Tyler Mabry, S Joshua Moon, CB John Reid, LB Jon Rhattigan, WR Darece Roberson Jr., CB Will Sunderland, TE Cam Sutton, WR Cody Thompson, WR Travis Toivonen, WR Connor Wedington and LB Lakiem Williams.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll expects DL Robert Nkemdiche to make an impact this season.

3 years ago

"Going to be a real competitive part of this group," said Carroll. "He's active, explosive and has really good quickness. His mentality is like he has a second chance on his football life and he knows that, which is really important. We think he's going to be a factor." Nkemdiche spent last year out of football and has appeared in only 29 games in four seasons. He's the latest reclamation project for a Seahawks defense that's coaxed career years out of Dion Jordon and Barkevious Mingo. With Jarran Reed gone, Nkemdiche could find his way into sub-package snaps.
