6 affordable free-agent edge rushers for Rams if Dante Fowler leaves

The Rams will have some options in free agency if they can’t re-sign Dante Fowler Jr.

Nassib has played fairly well for the Buccaneers the last two seasons, recording 12.5 sacks and 25 QB hits since 2018. He’s started 17 games in that span, forcing three fumbles and making 63 total tackles. Nassib isn’t an ideal fit in a 3-4 scheme at outside linebacker, but he can make it work and even move inside on passing downs.

At 6-foot-7, 275 pounds, he has the requisite size and bulk you want to see from an edge defender, which helps him against the run. The Rams could find a spot for him on defense, especially with a new scheme being installed by Brandon Staley.
