Up until last year, he was consistently in that range. Four sacks his first year and five each the next two. His ceiling might be higher than that, but generally, he would be considered the next guy up for that rotational role.
Realistically, we've got three "ends" on the roster right now who had more than one sack last season: Lawrence (14.5 last year), Charlton (3) and Crawford (4). Tapper had one in two games, but those are the only games he's played in, and Jones had one in four (and a best of 3.5 his rookie year in 2013). Gregory has had 1 in 14 games. (All three have potential for more.)
Jones and Crawford also have that all-important position flex where we can use them as inside pass rushers as part of the rotation.
If we sign Ealy, the DL might look like this:
DEs Lawrence, Charlton, Ealy, Tapper, Gregory
3-techs Irving, Crawford, Jones
1-techs Collins, Price
That's 10 without using a draft pick at the position, and with Neal and Ash being bumped off the roster if Gregory gets reinstated and Tapper can stay healthy.
