23. Harold Landry

Landry is another edge-rusher who is going to get paid this offseason. He’s a little bit better equipped to play as a defensive end in a conventional four-man line which gives him the slight edge over Reddick on this list.

Landry has good pop from the outside as a pass-rusher but he’s not elite in that category. His ability to notch sacks is dependent on scheme rather than eye-popping athleticism.

The former Boston College star’s availability to soak up a ton of snaps shouldn’t be overlooked. He rarely comes off the field for Tennessee due to injury or inability to handle a matchup. If the Titans let him go they may need to sign multiple guys to fill his shoes.

Landry doesn’t have the star power to transform a defense by himself, but he can be a useful young cog for a team looking to improve that side of the ball. The Titans should look to keep him in the fold, but he won’t face any shortage of interest in free agency if they decide to let him walk.
