With free agency winding down and no OT, Wr, or CB signings imminent, one name that is under the radar who would likely add too our front line pass rush is Israel Idonije . Idonije is a guy who I've wanted for the past two seasons, even in the 4-3. He can play inside or outside at DE or 4-3 DT.

He was ranked #6 overall best free agent edge defender by PFF for 13 but he still is without a team.

This guy is very good at splitting double teams and has length reminiscent of JJ Watt as a pass rusher. He he isn't as agile but I think he would be a very good pick up after losing out on Asomugha.
Word is the 49ers are going after him

2012 Grade: +17.8
2012 Snaps: 726
Summary: This free agent draft class on the edge defenders quickly runs out of steam and we’re either into big risks or players that you simply sign on a year-by-year basis to get production from them until they run out of steam. The classic example of this in recent seasons has been Vonnie Holliday who has consistently played out one-year deals and just played very well on whatever snaps he was given. After an excellent season on a one-year contract in Chicago, Idonije could be lining himself up as the 4-3 equivalent for the next few years.
With the size and ability to rush the passer from inside and out, Idonije is a valuable addition for any 4-3 team and his improved run defense this season (+7.5) only increases his value as you don’t have to carefully manage the snaps he plays. Returning to Chicago is a logical choice for Idonije but on a one-year deal anywhere, a team will be getting good value.
