My only question with Wimbley is how he’ll fit in Tennessee. He’s played rush linebacker in a 3-4 and the joker (4-3 defensive end/outside linebacker) position in Oakland. He’ll be an every down stand up defensive end in Tennessee it seems and I just wonder how he’ll handle that. As a pass rusher, he’ll probably be fine.

As an outside linebacker, he was ProFootballFocus’ 2^nd rated pass rushing 4-3 outside linebacker with a +16.4, which would have ranked 9^th among defensive ends, as he had 6 sacks and 40 pressures last season. He could struggle against the run with a position change and position changes are always a risk and a projection. Given that, 35 million over 5 years with 13.5 million guaranteed seems a bit rich, though they need really need a pass rusher.
