Linebackers

  • Anthony Barr
  • Eric Kendricks
  • Ben Gedeon
  • Kentrell Brothers
  • Devante Downs
  • Cameron Smith

Anthony Barr spurned the Jets this offseason to return to Minnesota. He will re-join Kendricks and Gedeon to create one of the more well-rounded three-man linebacker units in the league. Brothers are one of the best backups at the position in the NFL while Downs and Smith are young players who can help on Special Teams while providing solid depth.

Player to watch: Eric Wilson
