In the NFL, quality pass-rushers rarely hit the open market. When they do, they don't tend to stay there very long. However, things are different in 2019, where edge-rushers Justin Houston, Ezekiel Ansah, Nick Perry, Vinny Curry, Adrian Clayborn and others are still available entering the second week of free agency.
Have we entered Bizarro World? No, not exactly. It's simply that the market was full of pass-rushing talent to begin with—Trey Flowers, Anthony Barr, Za'Darius Smith, Preston Smith, Dante Fowler Jr. and Terrell Suggs have already signed deals—and the trades of Olivier Vernon and Dee Ford further diminished the demand for sack-artists.
