Biermann (6-3, 255) was a fifth-round pick from Montana in 2008. He has played a variety of roles, including a hybrid outside linebacker-defensive end job last season.
Biermann may not have been seen as a perfect fit at defensive end or linebacker in the team's new 4-3 scheme. He can provide flexibility, depth and special teams help for new coach Dan Quinn and defensive coordinator Richard Smith.
Biermann started 15 games in 2014 and set a career high with 80 tackles. His 4 1/2 sacks led the team. He has 21 career sacks.
