After four years of TE Bernhard Seikovits on the team through the international exemption, the Cardinals will used it on a new player in 2025
The Arizona Cardinals have a new player on their roster with an international exemption. Austrian tight end Bernhard Seikovits spent the last four years on their practice squad through the international exemption the NFL allows for teams having a player from the International Pathway Program.
However, that changes this year. The Cardinals released Seikovits after they announced the addition of six rookie free agents.
According to Cards Wire’s Howard Balzer, the Cardinals will use the international exemption on one of their undrafted rookies — offensive lineman Valentin Senn.
Senn is Austrian like Seikovits.
He played collegiately for Colorado in 2020 and then the last four years for UConn, starting the last three seasons at left tackle. Before his college football days, he played three years for the Swarco Raiders in Tirol, Austria.
Assuming he shows something in the offseason, we can expect Senn to be on the practice squad this year.
