Free agency could have some defensive end talent that the Bengals may be able to get some sort of help from. Players like Jason Pierre-Paul, Andre Branch, and Jabaal Sheard could contribute immediately. The Bengals could bring them in and they would make an impact at the opposite defensive end spot with Dunlap. If they were to bring them in for rotation with Michael Johnson, they would provide great production with fresh legs every time on the field.
