sorry but that list does not inspire much enthusiasm in terms of pass rush, save or hardy and maybe johnson.
sorryagain but we missed the boat on de's it appears

How did we miss the boat???? All the good players got franchise tagged.

Would not be surprised with Jared Allen. No longer a scheme fit on CHI and they signed McPhee and Woodley for their new 3-4. No way they are going to pay him $13.5 million (even though it's guaranteed). Either release or trade/renegotiated deal.

There are a lot of reclamation projects on that list.

I still think Derrick Morgan is the best edge rusher available, outside of Hardy. I would be happy to add him. He can at least give us what Selvie did.

He is way gone. back with titans

There are several grey beards on there I would like to have like Williams, Starks, Bryant, etc. but that is not our style. I would be absolutely shocked.

It's a shame. Williams has always been able to hold the line of scrimmage and did well for the Seahawks last year after Mebane went down. I'd love to see him in a limited role.

i dont see much there in the way of edge rushers so i wonder given our plethora of comp picks we are sure to receive for 2016 if we may use a 4th or 5th rounder from 2016 to trade for a guy who could pass rush for us?
some1 say like branch from the jags?who we have showed an interest n before?
Maybe a late round pck for maponga from the falcons?we were suppossed to be high on him entering the draft that year and given they just signed a couple of edge rushers?
In all honesty its the only way i see an improvement for our edge rushers prior to the draft

He was resigned by Tenn

As bridges I would take:

Spencer - Should be healthy in 2015
Starks - Older, but has been a good player

Not bad. Rather dance with devil we know, spencer, then take a chance with most of these guys. Spencer came to life at end of year. I'll take my chance with him with full offseason in our system.

Looks like DL help will be coming from the draft... And the likes of Okoye, Boatwright, Whaley, Gardner, jack Crawford and Devon Coleman

I never thought that they would be doing this, but it absolutely looks like they like what they have here and are arrogantly deciding they can just draft somebody and round it off.

Greg hardy
Jabaal sheard
Derrick Morgan
Adrian clayborne

There are 4 that didn't get tagged, pass rush was our number one need in the offseason and thus far we have failed to address it, it may not be missing the boat quite yet but we haven't bought a ticket to sail yet

Tbh not many teams use June 1st anymore to release guys when you can designate them for release in march now to not count until June


Thanks.
I was just hoping that maybe someone would suddenly be available.

Rolls out hot garbage on defensive line... wonders why no pass rush all year.

May well have to be a trade.
You might could get Jared Allen or Robert Mathis in trade as your primary 3rd down pass rush insurance.

It is a pretty ugly list. But a couple of these guys are gonna hit and be good players for whomever signs them.
While the likelihood is the top guys are gonna be terrible values their teams want to jettison after a year or two.
