John Abraham - 10.5 sack/58tkl/16 games
Darren Howard - 3.5 sack/33tkl/12 games (11.0 sack / 46tkl in '04)
Kalimba Edwards - 7.0 sack/32tkl/16 games
Aaron Kampman - 6.5 sack/82tkl/16 games
Robert Mathis - 11.5 sack/56tkl/13 games (!) <-- but probably the Freeney effect
Kimo von Oelhoffen - 3.5 sack/36tkl/16 games (and 1 QB career ended)
Kyle Vanden Bosch - 12.5 sack/66tkl/16 games
Orpheus Roye - 3.0 sack/88tkl/16 games
Abraham is the biggest name, for sure, but will want the most money as well. Most believe Vanden Bosch to be the best young talent but I suspect he will be a hot commodity.
If you believe Mathis isn't just basking in the glory of the Freeney Effect, he could be a great pickup.
Personally, I like the idea of a Darren Howard or Kalimba Edwards, as both are solid ends who probably wouldn't break the bank.
