Falcons should bring back 2017 sack leader Adrian Clayborn

Here are the moves the Atlanta Falcons should consider when free agency opens at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday:

Re-sign Adrian Clayborn: Clayborn is a relentless pass-rusher who led the team with 9 1/2 sacks last season. Critics will say Clayborn got six in the victory against the Dallas Cowboys and that he can't play the run. But coach Dan Quinn is all about pass-rushers, so it makes sense to bring back Clayborn, unless his asking price is outrageous. The Falcons wanted to trade for Clayborn's close friend Michael Bennett, but he landed with the Philadelphia Eagles instead.
