Top 10 Free Agent DT Replacements (Post-Campbell)
Tier 1 – Best All-Around Veterans (Balanced Production)
1. DeMarcus Walker –
Best fit to replace Campbell’s pressure + run defense mix.
Versatile across 3T/4i/5T.
High snap % (69.2%) and steady disruptor.
2. Jonathan Bullard –
Strong against the run, smart positional player.
Won’t get you 5 sacks, but won’t make mistakes either.
50.5% snap rate and good technique.
---
Tier 2 – Best Early-Down Run Anchors
3. John Jenkins –
Still stout at 36 years old.
Eats blocks and holds the point of attack.
Ideal rotational 1T or goal-line anchor.
4. Johnathan Hankins –
Veteran NT with consistent early-down reliability.
Not flashy, but he’ll keep your LBs clean.
5. Folorunso Fatukasi –
Excellent gap control, ideal early-down plug if you can rotate him.
---
Tier 3 – Best Sub-Package/Pass Rush Options
6. Quinton Jefferson –
Still shows solid hand usage and 3T pass-rush ability.
Best for 3rd-down packages, can’t anchor on early downs.
7. Jordan Phillips –
Former 9-sack guy. Inconsistent and often injured, but dangerous when hot.
High-reward depth gamble.
---
Tier 4 – Versatile Depth / Rotational Pros
8. Angelo Blackson –
Can play multiple spots (1T/3T/4i), steady rotational guy.
Doesn’t wow, but doesn't lose you reps either.
9. Taven Bryan –
Pure traits-based 3T. Can generate quick interior pressures, but unreliable vs run.
10. William Gholston –
Early-down base 5T or 4i.
No pass rush, but disciplined gap control and edge setting.
