Assuming KJ Wright is going to be too expensive cap/cash wise another player in that same build is Devondre Campbell who was Damien Wilson’s teammate at U of Minnesota. 6-4 232 33 1/2” arms. That’s a little above average for a DL but at LB that’s rare and well above average. A plus when rushing the passer, shedding blocks playing off the ball and always a plus in pass coverage. He’s just turning 28 before camp starts and a free agent. He has experience in the 4-3 under with the falcons when Dan Quinn drafted him. I wouldn’t want him taking snaps from Gay or Bolton but he could provide depth if he’s wanting to go ring chasing on a one year minimum or limited incentive type deal.
We’ve got a guy in Omari Cobb with the same type build. 6-4 223(probably bigger now) 33 1/2” arm length as well. Now if Cobb has developed and Matt House and the rest of the coaches and like his progress that would be great for the future at LB.

Darrius Harris’s arm length btw... 34 1/8”...that’s very good for OT and DE let alone LB. same thing here, if you’re going to walk an off the ball LB and let them rush like NE does with guys like Van Noy and Hightower those are 2 UDFA’s from last year under contract. Not nearly the same players talent wise as the two mentioned from NE I’m just saying it’s something to keep an eye on and hope for some development.

Just something I was looking at when I wanted to look at what Tim Ward and Tershawn measurements were because chiefs.com always gives ht and weight that’s way off with udfa’s when they might want to try to stash them on the taxi squad.
Ward 6-5 265 34 1/2” arm length

Wharton 6-1 280 (listed at 6-4 255 on chiefs.com lmao) 31 1/4” arm length
That’s center only if you’re talking OL and even below average for an interior DL. But he plays his ass of and his persuit and taking angles to find the ball is outstanding. He’s all hustle and effort and like an undrafted John Randle has created a role for himself.
Rankins-since we’re all wondering who can be a backup at LT
33 3/4” arm length which is about average to even maybe a little less than Reid would prefer. Could be one of the reasons he struggles outside in the past in Houston.
Prince Winnebago dude
33 1/2” arm length

Same thing with him. Like Rankin he would probably be better at G in KC’s O.
Doesn’t mean he can’t compete and even win the job of 2nd string LT.
Just something to look at with some of these guys and where they want to play them
But yeah I know the names mentioned with FA DE in Ingram Kerrigan and when he’s healthy Vernon. I agree with those just like KJ Wright and Campbell at LB
