With the amount of upper-echelon potential DE free agents getting tagged by their respective teams (Chandler Jones, Jason Pierre-Paul, Melvin Ingram), the Miami Dolphins might have to make their defensive “splash” at LB.
We’ll discuss LB’s in the draft at great length, but free agency comes first, so let’s take a quick glance at 5 of the top free agent LB’s (in no particular order). I will provide PFF rankings, but that doesn’t mean I “S PFF’s D”, just providing a little more context than my conjecture. Here we go:
Dont’a Hightower, 6’3”, 265 - PFF #12
The New England Patriots chose not to tag Hightower, but that doesn’t mean they won’t try to keep him.
