The New England Patriots are reportedly looking to retain K'Lavon Chaisson, who led the Patriots in total pressures last season. If he signs with a new team, there is a lack of proven edge pass rush options. The team is also hoping to sign two or more edge rushers in free agency. The list includes Jaelan Phillips, Eiketie Oweh, and Mafe, who created more hurries and hits in Seattle than sacks, and Jones, who can kick inside and provide pressure as an interior rusher, who has previously played for multiple teams. Other notable players on the list include Trey Hendrickson from the Bengals, who is reportedly the best edge defender available.
