Kasim Edebali

Kasim Edebali joined the Denver Broncos in the 2017 off season from the New Orleans Saints. In New Orleans, Edebali had a limited role and tallied eight total sacks in three seasons.

Edebali lacks experience, but has only started two games in his entire career. Unproven and looking to find a place on the roster, he has the perfect opportunity to compete for a spot with Shaq Barrett’s injury keeping him out of action for months.

His 6’2 250lb frame should allow him to be physical towards setting the edge, and managing to keep contain.
