Regarding pass rush help:
I've seen a few names mentioned in the last few days.
Drake Jackson - drafted in the 2nd Round by the 49'ers. Had decent production when he was healthy...but staying healthy has been a problem. However...supposedly he is fully healthy right now and he has a few visits lined up with teams this week (Wash, NYJ, Balt, etc). He is a free agent...so there is really no downside to bringing him in for a look. If the visit goes well, sign him to the practice squad and slowly ramp up his usage and hope he can make it to the end of the year.
Jaelan Phillips - drafted in 1st Round by the Dolphins. The Dolphins aren't going anywhere this year and they have already indicated that Phillips is available since he is on the last year of his contract. Again, his injury history isn't great. But might be worth a gamble if the asking price isn't too high. Could potentially receive a comp pick if the Colts don't intend to re-sign him next year.
