What happened: A proposed strategy suggests signing free agents Clowney and Von Miller, alongside a trade for Brooks. Reinforcing the front seven is viewed as a way to organically stabilize the cornerbacks and safeties.

Why it matters: The additions of the two free agents would come at a low cost, while acquiring Brooks requires draft capital. The moves would provide necessary insurance behind DeMarvi ahead of the upcoming 2026 season.

What to watch: Future roster moves will determine if these veteran additions materialize as the offseason progresses.
