Colts Need Edge Rusher to Boost Pass Rush

On April 2nd, the Indianapolis Colts' defensive line is hurting after losing edge rushers

quitey pay and Samson Evacom to free agency, plus missing out.

On Trey Hendrickson, to Baltimore, they grab Arden Key for rotation, but still need a

solid pass rusher to team up with young star Lyatu-Latu and fill those gaps.

Defensive coordinator Liu Anirumo runs a scheme that demands disciplined edge players

who set the run hard, bend on stunts and pressure quarterbacks, consistently.

It's all about technical soundness in a 4-3 front, and right now, the Colts' deb chart

has too many question marks.

Fans and analysts see this as a big weakness that could tank the pass rush, especially with

Latu still developing.

Without reliable rotation, the whole defense risks wearing down early in the season.

Forcing starters to play too many snaps.

Starting at targets, AJ Epinisa from Buffalo brings length and bend for situational rushes

at 4-8 million a year.

Yeter grows matos, with his 6-foot-5 frame from Carolina and San Francisco, offers run-stopping

power around 4 million annually.

Then there's Josh Pasco from Detroit, a physical reclamation project on a cheap one-year

deal, despite injury setbacks.

These cost-effective vets could plug right into Anirumo's system, giving the Colts that

edge depth to compete without breaking the bank.
