Offensive tackle: Bryant McKinnie,
Jeremy Trueblood,
Tony Pashos.
McKinnie (35 in September) is a short-term bridge option at left tackle. The 31-year-old Trueblood (10 starts for Atlanta in 2013) and the 33-year-old Pashos (12 starts for Oakland a season ago) are similar options at right tackle.
Offensive guard: Mike Brisiel,
Leroy Harris,
Harvey Dahl.
The 31-year-old Brisiel started 15 games in each of the last two seasons for Oakland. Harris, 30, can also play center. The 33-year-old Dahl has ample starting experience but had offseason
hip and ankle surgery, according to the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Center: Kyle Cook,
Leroy Harris.
Cook (6-3, 310) started 66 games for the Bengals from 2009 through 2013. He was limited to four games in 2012 after ankle surgery.
Inside linebacker: Desmond Bishop, Dan Connor, Kion Wilson.
Bishop recorded more than 100 tackles playing inside in the Packers’ 3-4 scheme in 2010 and 2011. Connor (29 in November) has made 27 regular season starts. The 27-year-old Wilson started a pair of games at inside linebacker in Pittsburgh’s 3-4 front a season ago.
Outside linebacker: Larry English, Brandon Jenkins, Kevin Burnett, Stephen Nicholas.
The Chargers’ first-round pick in 2009, the 28-year-old English has recorded 11 total sacks in five seasons. He visited the Cowboys in July, but his health is a near-term concern, as he’s coming off knee surgery, according to the team’s website. When healthy, English could appeal to clubs looking for a 3-4 outside linebacker or a 4-3 end. So could the 24-year-old Jenkins, a fifth-round pick of Washington in 2013. Nicholas (ex-Atlanta) and Burnett (ex-Oakland) are fits in 4-3 schemes. Both are 31 years old. Burnett comes off wrist surgery.
