This\nis it. We\u2019ve reached the end of our long road through the available\nedge rushing free agents, counting down 22 guys when it\u2019s all over,\neach one (with the exception of Yannick\nNgakoue<\/a> and\nMatthew Judon<\/a>) available for purchase at the right\nprice. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our\nfinal installment includes a Super Bowl champion and perennial Pro\nBowler as well as guys that flashed stardom, only for something to\nseemingly go all wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. TERRELL SUGGS, OLB, UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2019:\n40 tackles, nine for a loss, 6.5 sacks, one fumble recovery, four\npasses defended<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suggs\nlikely has a gold jacket in his future when he finally decides to\nhang up his cleats and, you never know, this might be the offseason\nhe makes the call. After spending all but one of his 17-year NFL\ncareer in Baltimore with the Ravens, Suggs played for two teams last\nyear. He signed with the Arizona Cardinals as a free agent and was\ntraded to the Kansas City Chiefs at the trade deadline, earning his\nsecond Super Bowl ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suggs\nwas still productive and still a serviceable member of the Chiefs\ndefense, though he\u2019s long removed from the guy who racked up double\ndigit sacks in seven of his seasons and came close in four more. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where\nhe should end up: Baltimore Ravens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My\nguess is if Suggs plays, this will be it for him. The Ravens could\nuse the pass rush help at the right price and there\u2019s no reason not\nto make one more run with the team that drafted him at No. 10 overall\nout of Arizona State back in 2003. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. EMMANUEL OGBAH, DE, UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2019:\n32 tackles, six for a loss, 5.5 sacks, one forced fumble, three\npasses defended<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like\nSuggs, the Chiefs brought in Ogbah as a mercenary for a single season\nthat paid off for everybody. He started four games and played in 10\nfor Kansas City during the regular season and was worth the roster\nspot. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ogbah\u2019s\na young guy who\u2019s never lived up to his second-rounder status when\nthe Cleveland Browns drafted him out of Oklahoma State in 2016. This\nis likely his top out level in the NFL, which should keep him on a\nroster, but not earn him a long term deal anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where\nhe should end up: Seattle Seahawks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nSeahawks will be building their pass rush out of cast-offs and draft\npicks this season after likely losing both starting defensive ends\nfrom last year. Ogbah is good enough to spot start and can be a solid\nback up in a 4-3. Ultimately, Seattle needs to bring in the bodies\nbecause the NFC West is not slowing down on of offense anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. EZEKIEL ANSAH, DE, UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2019:\n18 tackles, three for a loss, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, two\nfumble recoveries, two passes defended. <\/em>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nmystery of Ezekiel Ansah deepens once again. Three years ago, this\nkid looked like one of the premier 4-3 defensive ends in football.\nTwo years later he\u2019s amassed all of 6.5 total sacks and started\njust three games (playing in 18). \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nthat mystery was there when he was in Detroit. After a solid first\ntwo seasons, Ansah broke out with a 14.5 sack campaign in 2015. He\nfollowed it with a two-sack year in 13 games in 2016. Make sense of\nthat. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\n2017, he bounced back with 12 sacks. In 2018, he went right back to\nthe basement with four. His 2.5 as a free agent acquisition of the\nSeahawks last year kept him there. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something\u2019s\nup and Ansah\u2019s weird drop-offs have cost him a lot of money and\nwill continue to do so, but somebody can get the most out of this\nguy. Maybe. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where\nhe should end up: New England Patriots<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill Belichick always takes a chance on these kinds of players, to varying degrees of success. He\u2019s also not afraid to cut them or ship them out if they don\u2019t work out. Ansah\u2019s probably getting his last real shot to do something in the league, regardless of where he ends up. He better make the most of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
