Beasley is more of a name than a standout player at this point in his career, but if given the chance to play outside linebacker and primarily rush the passer, he can provide a spark. The Falcons misused him by asking him to drop into coverage more than he should have, which stunted his development.

He bounced back nicely this past season with eight sacks, and 12 QB hits, both his most since 2016 when he led the NFL in sacks. He’ll be 28 when the season begins, which is still relatively young. The Rams should give him a look if Fowler leaves.
