2022 NFL defensive line rankings

8. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

Cameron Jordan is as consistently productive an edge defender as you値l find, as he defends both the run and pass at a high level while missing very little time in New Orleans over the last decade. Narrowing that focus to just the last five years, Jordan ranks first among edge defenders in snaps played (4,826) and fourth in PFF grade (92.0).

He痴 joined on the Saints defensive line by David Onyemata (22nd on PFF痴 interior defensive line rankings) and Marcus Davenport, who has produced at a high level when healthy (88.8 PFF grade in 2021). Staying healthy has been the difficult part for Davenport with missed time in each of his first four seasons.

Fair ranking, considering we have two main guys coming back from injury. I didn't realize Tampa added Akiem Hicks.

I知 still wondering if, just like Tampon signing Hicks for depth, signing Suh would be a good move. I still think he can maybe be a stopper on the line like Sheldon Rankins and Brown were. He certainly could help for depth is nothing else.

It appears the hold up is the recently amputated finger. The shoulder surgery was way back in January.

I doubt New Orleans is even on Suh's radar.

Knowing him, he'll end up finishing up his career with Cleveland or the Bengals.

I'd give him a dollar over vet minimum. These older players can still be good with limited snaps. I believe he still has something to offer and wouldn't mind having him on the team. We need some more interior pressure to help free up Onyamata to make more impact plays.
