DTs: Although Corey Williams is my #1 choice many teams will be calling him. Other options are;
Damione Lewis, DT, Carolina. He is stout against the run and can still rush the passer.
William Joseph, DT. NY Giants. He's pretty big at 6'5 308 and would probably make a nice tandem with McCargo on first down.
Tommy Kelly, DT, Raiders. Kelly is a real good pass rusher and is also pretty good against the run. At 6'6 he can bat down a lot of passes also.
LBs:
DeMorrio Williams, Atlanta -- This guy is real fast and makes tackles all over the field, shouldnt be too expensive either.
Rocky Boiman, Indianapolis -- He filled in real well for the injured Indi LBs and already knows the system. Relatively unknown but would probably be an upgrade over Ellison.
Landon Johnson, probably the best defender on the Cinci D which might not be saying much but he is actually a good player and would be a huge upgrade. Would also be 6 mil a year cheaper than Briggs.
Boss Bailey, Detroit -- Jauron coached him in Detroit and he is playing in the cover 2 now. I dont know how much of an upgrade he would be although he is bigger than Ellison.
DEs:
Terrell Suggs: If we could somehow trade Kelsay and sign Suggs that would make our pass rush insane. Suggs could even outperform Schobel as a full time DE. IMO it would be money well spent, he's only 25.
Chris Clemons, Raiders -- On a more realistic note, Chris Clemons came in as a pass rush specialist for the Raiders and had a great year. He had 8 sacks on the year which is better than Hargrove who he would essentially replace. Still only 26.
Bobby McCray, Jacksonville -- Would probably demand a large contract so its not likely. But who knows.
Others, Josh Thomas, Indi, Travis LaBoy -Tennessee.
