Wesley Woodyard, OLB, Broncos. Age: 28.
Signed with Titans (4 years, $16 million)

Wesley Woodyard was a quality linebacker for the few seasons before 2013, but struggled this past year because of a stinger he suffered in early October. He was ultimately benched, but he should rebound as long as he can play the weak side again.
LaMarr Woodley, DE/OLB, Steelers. Age: 29.
Signed with Raiders (2 years, $12 million)

LaMarr Woodley notched 13.5 sacks in 2009 and then nine sacks in just 10 games two years later. However, it’s all been downhill since then. He was out of shape and consequently mustered only four sacks in 2012. He got off to a hot start last season, logging a sack in all but one of his first six games, but a calf injury derailed the second half of his 2013 campaign. Woodley has major potential to bounce back if he can stay healthy and motivated, but he’s definitely an injury risk.
Calvin Pace, DE/OLB, Jets. Age: 33.
Re-signed with Jets (2 years, $5 million)

Calvin Pace registered 10 sacks this season, but that number is inflated because the opposition focused so much on the interior rushers. Pace is not playing as well as he used to because of his age.
James Anderson, OLB, Bears. Age: 30.
Signed with Patriots

James Anderson covered well this past season, but was exposed against the run after Henry Melton was sidelined with an injury.
Parys Haralson, DE/OLB, Saints. Age: 30.
Re-signed with Saints

Parys Haralson is never much of a liability, but he’s not a strength either. He’s a jack of all trades, master of nothing.
James Harrison, DE/OLB, Bengals. Age: 36.
James Harrison actually performed pretty well as a two-down player for the Bengals in 2013. With Mike Zimmer gone, however, Cincinnati had no more use for Harrison. The long-time Steeler turns 36 in May.

Spencer Paysinger (RFA), OLB, Giants. Age: 26. — Tendered by Giants
