Adrian Clayborn, Atlanta Falcons

Clayborn would be a nice depth guy.  The Cardinals should only target him should they land a more consistent player.  Clayborn’s best seasons were 2011 and 2013 but has not been a full time starter since.  He only started four games in 2015.  He managed three sacks.

I liked him when he was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  He is still young.  He will be 28 by the time the season starts. He had 13 sacks in the 2011 and 2013 years. he only played in three games in 2012 and one game in 2014.  It would seem that the even-years have not been kind to Clayborn.  Maybe that changes in 2016?
