Defensive Line (8)

DeForest Buckner, Kwity Paye, Grover Stewart, Tyquan Lewis, Dayo Odeyingbo, Kemoko Turay, Antwuan Woods, Al-Quadin Muhammad

Buckner and Stewart will form one of the best defensive tackle tandems in the sport once again, and they will be backed up by Antwuan Woods. Altogether, that’s not the worst arrangement.

With Odeyingbo on the mend, Paye and Lewis will likely make up the starting tandem on the outside. Turay and Muhammad have flashed enough to warrant another season on the roster as backups.

Two of the more noticeable cuts in this group are former second-round pick Ben Banogu and free agent signing Isaac Rochell. Tough decisions will need to be made, and the defensive line rotation is not exempt.
