5 recent NFL players who were both Vikings and Cardinals
By Nik Edlund
Ifeadi Odenigbo – DE
Ifeadi Odenigbo has had a strange last 12 months. He was cut by the Vikings at the end of training camp last year and then he was then signed by the Cleveland Browns. For whatever reason, he didn’t stick in Cleveland and just three weeks later, he was waived by the Browns.
Odenigbo was then signed by the Cardinals. He appeared in one game and had one tackle for Arizona. After being with the Cardinals for just a month, he was released and then he was re-signed to Minnesota’s practice squad, coming full circle.
It was definitely a whirlwind couple of months for the former seventh-round pick, but it ultimately looks to have helped him grow as both a player and a person.
Odenigbo has been playing his tail off in the Vikings’ recent preseason games. He has shown good explosion off the edge and he’s been closing in on quarterbacks in a hurry.

He’s playing with a renewed determination and it looks quite likely he’ll make the team that drafted him in 2017. It’ll be interesting to see if he plays with a chip on his shoulder this Saturday against the team that spurned him just 10 months ago.
