Why don't we just sign Ayers then? Sounds like similar production.
Older, more expensive, and I'm not sure he's as good against the run. Anthony Spencer for example, for all his detractors, was a stud for a time sealing down the right side against the run, even when he wasn't racking up sack numbers. He was borderline elite as a run stopping end/OLB.
I could see Crichton being that player plus chipping in 8 sacks a year. Very solid #2 DE. I think Ayers is a cut below that. He's been 2-3-2-5 sacks per season. I think Crichton is better than that, not like Marcus Spears production.
I'd have no problem signing Ayers too, though, as a stopgap measure. We need multiple linemen here.
