Didnt realize Sedrick Ellis retired, knew they had signed him. he was one guy i was kinda hoping we'd take a look at.
Anderson might be of interest here, could potentially play LDE some and move inside to DT. Isnt much of a pass rusher, but can play the run ok.

The team signed him in late July to fill a roster void created when Sedrick Ellis retired.
The eighth overall pick of the 2007 NFL draft by Atlanta, Anderson was selected by the Falcons when Bears general manager Phil Emery served with the club as its director of college scouting. Anderson started 48 of 77 career games played with the Falcons (2007-10), Colts (2011) and Bengals (2012), with whom he played just two contests before missing the rest of the season because of a quadriceps injury.
Anderson has 132 career tackles, 7½ sacks (with just 4½ coming over four years with the Falcons), 10 pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
