New Orleans Saints Linebacker Kasim Edebali is one of twenty New Orleans Saints players entering free agency this year. After logging a career-high five sacks and sixteen tackles in 2015, Edebali had only one sack and five total tackles in all of 2016, starting just one game for the second year in a row.
A potential Special Teams player with occasional spots on defense, Edebali has apparently been considering life after professional football already. What would he decide to dabble in? Coaching? Public speaking? Maybe even acting? No. Professional wrestling with the WWE.
Edebali didn’t have an incredibly successful time in New Orleans, but he did what not very many people in the world are able to do, although many try: get to the highest level in professional football.
