Lewan’s contract outpaced his play in recent seasons, and injuries (two torn ACLs in three seasons) struck hard, leading to his release from the Titans. He turns 30 in June, and his legal history (both in college and in the NFL) will give some teams pause, but his résumé stands out in a weak class of edge rushers.
Despite excelling in the postseason for the Chiefs (10.5 sacks, 14 QB hits in 12 games), he otherwise underwhelmed (23.5 sacks, 59 QB hits in 58 regular-season games), leading to a pay cut last March and his release last week.
Frank Clark, Edge, Chiefs (30)Ī three-time Pro Bowler with playoff pedigree, Clark is tricky to value. Floyd also hasn’t missed a game since 2017 and has played at least 80 percent of defensive snaps in four consecutive seasons. He has 29 sacks, 59 quarterback hits and 157 pressures (per TruMedia) over the past three seasons, including four sacks, 11 hits and 28 pressures in the six games Donald missed in 2022. Leonard Floyd, Edge, Rams (31)įloyd has certainly benefited from Aaron Donald’s presence in L.A., but he’s been consistently productive in his own right, without slowing down since turning 30 in September. Theoretically, the Ravens could be determined to match any offer sheet Jackson gets, but teams could make it difficult on Baltimore in how they structure the deal. Baltimore is taking an awfully big gamble that a quarterback-needy team won’t give Jackson the deal he’s been seeking, but it’s unclear how many suitors there will be. Jackson is the only franchise-tagged player on this list, as the Ravens’ use of the non-exclusive tag means other teams could try to sign him for two first-round picks.
