Los Angeles Rams free agency 2019: Top 5 targets

2. Henry Anderson, New York Jets

One player the Rams could end up losing is Ndamukong Suh. Last season, Suh played on a one-year deal worth $14 million.

He accumulated 59 tackles, 19 quarterback hits, 4.5 sacks and four tackles for a loss. In the postseason he added 10 tackles, five quarterback hits and 1.5 sacks.

Suh’s size and power makes him a threat each time he is on the field. But, the 32-year old defensive tackle was inconsistent last season. After recording three sacks in the first five weeks, Suh didn’t record a full sack until Week 15.

According to Pro Football Focus, Suh earned a 82.6 overall grade, 20th amongst interior defensive lineman. They also have him ranked as the second best unrestricted free agent interior defensive lineman.

Suh is projected to make $9.3 million per season in his new deal, which is cheaper than his $14 million from last season.  But, when factoring in age it could be out of the Rams’ price range.

A potential target for the Rams, who is younger and had a more productive year than Suh, is Henry Anderson. For the first time in his career, Anderson played an entire season.

Anderson accumulated a career high and team high seven sacks, while making 35 tackles, 16 quarterback hits, seven tackles for a loss and deflecting four passes.

Out of all of the unrestricted free agent defensive tackles; Anderson had the most sacks and tied for third most quarterback hits.

According to Pro Football Focus, he earned his highest career grade, 76.5 and is ranked in the top-five for available interior defensive lineman.  Anderson’s experience playing in a 3-4 defense last season with the Jets, will allow him to transition smoothly into Wade Phillips’ defensive scheme.
