With Fewell to the Giants and their DT situation up in the air - Fred Robbins (33) and Barry Cofield (25) are about to be free agents - with Cofield likely to be re-signed.
They don't have anyone on their roster that seems like a viable option to step in outside of possibly Chris Canty - who is better off as a 3-4 End (Rocky Bernard is 30 and Jay Alford didn't see the field last season.
They're also hurting for 4-3 Linebackers, inside and out. I know Mitchell came from the Giants after one season with them, but they could probably really use his help now as a Sam or Mike backer. Fewell also could be interested in some of the younger guys that no longer fit like Nic Harris. They took Clint Sintim in the 2nd last year, but he's a 3-4 OLB who has struggled to adjust to the 4-3, and is even less of a fit in Fewell's defense.
We have some things they need, we have some things we need.
Kyle Williams / Nic Harris (and other 4-3 Lbs etc)
Clint Sintim / Chris Canty
Now I'm not going to get into specifics with trade possibilities and whatnot, but something could be swung to work a deal in favor of both franchises, and would have to involve the shuffling of draft picks.
Canty signed a hefty contract in the offseason, but didn't crack the starting lineup until December though, and was injured in practice after 4 starts, MCL injury, and was a little banged up earlier in the season.
Would you be interested in either player? Sintim could actually play the strong side like he did in college, and Canty is very experienced as a 3-4 end.
