Arizona Cardinals
· 2026-06-29
The Arizona Cardinals signed tight end Kenny Yeboah, a move that was previously reported, to add depth to their roster.
The Cardinals made room for Yeboah by releasing linebacker Stephen Dix Jr., an undrafted rookie.
Yeboah spent four years with the New York Jets, playing 33 games and starting twice.
Yeboah's experience in Mike LaFleur's offense and on special teams makes him a strong candidate for a third or fourth tight end spot.
He joins a tight end room that includes Trey McBride, Elijah Higgins, and Teagan Quitoriano.
The Cardinals are currently 8th in the American Football Conference with an 8-9 record, on a L7 streak, and their next game is against the Los Angeles Chargers on 2026-09-13.
Yeboah's signing could impact the team's strategy for the upcoming season, with his ability to play special teams and contribute to the offense.
And with his familiarity with LaFleur's system, he may be able to make an immediate impact.
But the Cardinals still have work to do to improve their standing in the conference.
So they will look to Yeboah and other new signings to help turn their season around.
The team's special teams coach, Michael Ghobrial, previously worked with Yeboah on the Jets, which could help with his integration.
Yeboah's height and weight, 6-4 and 250 pounds, make him a physical presence on the field.
He had nine receptions for 111 yards in his four seasons with the Jets.
The Cardinals will look to Yeboah to contribute to their offense and special teams, and help them improve their record.
