Alameda Ta’amu Claimed Off Waivers By Arizona

The Cardinals have claimed former Steelers 4th round draft pick Alameda Ta’amu off of waivers. Ta’amu was released by the Steelers yesterday after losing the battle for the backup NT spot to Hebron Fangupo.

Ta’amu was suspended by the team last fall and subsequently released after being arrested for DWI and other charges. The team signed him back to the practice squad last November where he spent the remainder of the season.

He missed a good deal of time during camp due to a hamstring injury, but looked promising in his preseason performance.
