Who's Out There?: Defensive Tackles
General Manager Eric DeCosta said that adding at defensive line is "something that we'll assess and address after the draft." Here are players that could help fill the void left by Michael Pierce's retirement or add to Baltimore's depth in the middle.
Linval Joseph
Joseph is a 15-year NFL veteran and played in all 17 games for the Cowboys last season. At 6-foot-4, 329 pounds, Joseph could help as a run-stuffer for Baltimore.
Jordan Phillips
Phillips had 9.5 sacks in 2019 with the Bills, and at 32-years-old he can be a strong depth option. While he is more of a pass rusher, his 6-foot-6 frame can help him plug the middle.
Johnathan Hankins
Hankins had 30 total tackles in 2024 and five tackles for loss. He played in all 17 games and proved he still has juice entering Year 13.
Raekwon Davis
Davis is a hulking 6-foot-7 and played in every game the past two seasons. He had 15 total tackles for the Colts in 2024 and will turn 28 years old in June.
Teair Tart
Tart had 29 total tackles and five tackles for loss in 2024 for the Los Angeles Chargers. At 6-foot-2 he is a bit undersized, but his production stopping the run is clear. The 28-year-old also added an interception and two passes defended last season.
Montravius Adams
Adams was reportedly released by the Steelers on Monday after three and a half years in the AFC North. Adams played in just 11 games last season and had 14 tackles, but he started 17 games from 2022-23 and would provide a veteran presence in the middle.
Armon Watts
Watts was limited to just five games last year with the Giants, but he played in nearly every game from 2020-23. He had five sacks for the Vikings in 2021 and would provide depth in the middle.
DeShawn Williams
Williams has 9.5 career sacks in six seasons and spent his past two years with the Panthers. As more of a pass-rusher in the middle, he could fill in behind Nnamdi Madubuike.
Taven Bryan
Bryan was a first round pick in 2018 and has played 113 games in his career. He had 20 tackles and three tackles for loss in Indianapolis last season.
Quinton Jefferson
Jefferson has 28.5 career sacks and turned 32 years old in March. He played in 12 games between the Browns and Bills last year and had three tackles for loss.
Khalil Davis
The 6-foot-2 Davis had four tackles for loss last season, splitting time between the Texans and 49ers. Davis had two sacks in 2023 and one last season.
