2013 NFL Free Agents: Defensive Ends




2013 NFL Free Agent Positions:
QB | RB | FB | WR | TE | OT | G | C | DE | DT | OLB | ILB | CB | S | K/P | FA Grades | Winners/Losers



2013 NFL Free Agency: Star rating is out of five. Age listing as of Sept. 1, 2013.
Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

  1. Elvis Dumervil, DE, Broncos. Age: 29.
    Signed with Ravens

    Elvis Dumervil has 63.5 sacks in six NFL seasons (he missed all of 2010 with an injury). This includes 11 sacks in 2012. He can be a liability in run support, but his tremendous ability to get to the quarterback makes up for that.

  2. Anthony Spencer, DE/OLB, Cowboys. Age: 29.
    Re-signed with Cowboys (1 year, $10.6 million)

    Anthony Spencer dealt with consistency issues early in his career, but he was amazing for the Cowboys this past season, both in terms of stopping the run and getting to the quarterback.

  3. Michael Johnson, DE, Bengals. Age: 26.
    Franchised by Bengals

    The sky's the limit for Michael Johnson, who turns 26 in February. He recorded 11.5 sacks in 2012 while playing the run very well. He's expected to be franchised.



  4. Michael Bennett, DE, Buccaneers. Age: 27.
    Signed with Seahawks (1 year, $5 million)

    One of the more underrated players in the NFL, Michael Bennett is a solid pass-rusher and a premier run-defender. He plays all three downs and deserves a big contract.

  5. Cliff Avril, DE, Lions. Age: 27.
    Signed with Seahawks

    Cliff Avril is a relatively young, dynamic pass-rusher, but he tends to struggle in run support. He rejected a 3-year, $30 million deal last offseason.

  6. Dwight Freeney, DE, Colts. Age: 33.
    Signed with Chargers

    Dwight Freeney didn't have a good 2012 campaign because he was bothered by an ankle injury and had to transition into a 3-4 for the first time in his career. He should be better on a team with a 4-3 defense next year.

  7. William Hayes, DE, Rams. Age: 28.
    Re-signed with Rams

    William Hayes could start for some teams, but he can't crack the lineup in St. Louis because of Chris Long and Robert Quinn. He's terrific against the run and can get to the quarterback on occasion.

  8. Osi Umenyiora, DE, Giants. Age: 31.
    Signed with Falcons

    Osi Umenyiora had some decent games this past season, but was mostly invisible. It's fair to wonder if Umenyiora's talents have eroded. He'll be 32 in November.

  9. John Abraham, DE, Falcons. Age: 35.
    John Abraham still got the job done as a 34-year-old last season, registering a team-high 10 sacks. He was cut because of his $7.25 million cap number. He can still start, but it's fair to wonder how much he has left in the tank, given that he'll be 35 in May.



  10. Israel Idonije, DE, Bears. Age: 32.
    Israel Idonije is coming off a fantastic season in terms of getting to the quarterback (7.5 sacks) and stopping the run. He'll be 33 in November, however.

  11. Junior Galette (RFA), DE, Saints. Age: 25.
    Re-signed with Saints (3 years)

    Junior Galette is a solid situational pass-rusher who should have seen more action last year.

  12. Robert Geathers, DE, Bengals. Age: 30.
    Re-signed with Bengals

    Robert Geathers did not play well this past season because of a lingering knee injury. He was still decent as a run-stopper.

  13. Wallace Gilberry, DE, Bengals. Age: 28.
    Re-signed with Bengals (3 years, $6.75 million)

    Wallace Gilberry is a quality nickel pass-rusher. He recorded 6.5 sacks despite not playing very many snaps.

  14. Juqua Parker-Thomas, DE, Browns. Age: 35.
    Juqua Parker-Thomas served as a decent situational pass-rusher for the Browns, registering six sacks. He'll be 35 in May, however.

Isreal idonije could come in for 1 year as a packer and make a difference. He still has enough in the tank.

What could be a better spot for dwight freeney than Seattle?? mentor bruce irvin some more and make up for chris clemons injury with a quality pass rusher, while freeney joins a contender all in one. As a seattle fan id love to see dwight here, i cant imagine a better place for him either

I say we let Avril walk and use that money to bring Micheal Johnson in and release KVB and draft Mingo in the draft or Montgomery and pair those two together

Anthony Spencer over Michael Johnson as a DE? Really... huh. I can definitely see your point if you're ranking 3-4 OLB (even then... maybe not), but as a DE? O----kay Walt?...

You did about as good as I did, and I was able to update mine the day berofe. You offered a lot of insite that helped me get a few of those picks right. Also, if it weren't for you, I would have not welcomed the drafting of Andre Smith. Speaking of Andre Smith, I think it's important that the Bengals and Smith's agent work hard to get a contract done early. That would go a long way toward proving that Smith was not a gamble.

Kamerion Wimbley would look great in the Bears DE rotation! I hope the Bears are make a serious run at him. Anyone heard anything regarding this as apossibility?

Personally, I am proud of the Cowboys for stepping up to the Free Agent plate and signing the players they have, I think the only " bonehead " moves they have made is Franchising Anthony Spencer to a 1 year $8.8 mil deal, and resigning Kevin Ogletree, I think the Cowboys should have looked at a #3 WR that could start if/when Dez or Miles gets injured, Some critics think the Cowboys made a mistake by signing Guards Nate Livings and Mackenzy Bernadeau, But Livings will be a huge upgrade over Montrae Holland, Derrick Dockery, and Bill Nagy at LG, And Bernadeau is the 2012 version of Kyle Kosier that will be given every opportunity to start at RG, Orton is 29, and a good backup QB, Carr will be an upgrade over Newman, Pool will be an upgrade over Elam, and I think Dan Connor may take Bruce Carter's spot at ILB, The Cowboys should tear up that franchise tag for Spencer, and try to sign Kamerion Wimbley, and then let Spencer walk.

Walter, you are the biggest horse's ass on line. You cannot even track you OWN comments. "any team should sell their soul to get Mario Williams". So one team (Buffalo) does EXACTLY what you suggest and you are too stupid to endorse your OWN suggestion! Anyone with a brain would at least read his OWN suggestions before mocking a team that follows them! So, either you are a know-nothing when making suggestions or a know nothing when evaluating moves. What a dork!

Mario Williams should go to a 4-3 front defense. He wont likely go back to Houston cause he seems to like the 4-3 front more. I see him in Atlanta or Seattle. I think if he is playing for the right reasons though he will go to Atlanta cause they r closer to Super Bowls then the Seahawks. Atlanta will be able to contend with the Saints with a beefed up Defense
