Tyrone MacKenzie cut by Tampa Bay. I like him at ILB.
Igor Olshansky would be a nice pickup, IMO. The choice is between a player who is a run stopper and not a pass rusher or one of two players who are neither (Golston and Scott). All three of them are about the same age, so that's not a factor. I think our DL rotation was hurt badly when we lost JJ for the season.
Can anybody think of a guard we could possibly pick up? We're hurting at that position too, IMO.

As I've said before, I think losing JJ was a blow but not as bad as people are making it out to be. For one, he was an unknown so it's really hard to say "how much of a blow" it really is. If there's any upside to his injury at all, we lost him early on. It's not like we lost him in the fifth game of the season and now the defense really has to make major adjustments.
In terms of rotation and depth, I think we'll be just fine. If Carriker can find his groove this year, the defensive line will be pretty good.
