Wise brings the tough, veteran edge work this group needs. He is better known for setting a boundary and doing the dirty down-to-down work than for flashy sack totals. The quadriceps recovery is the obvious caveat, but a healthy Wise helps the run defense immediately.
Strengths: Run defense, edge-setting strength, veteran leadership, and proven career pressure production.
Weaknesses: The 2025 quadriceps injury creates availability uncertainty, and he is more steady than explosive as a pure speed rusher.
