Every year folks want to spend big on free agents on other teams. The first priority is ALWAYS to look to our own first. Otherwise, we will create holes. As always, I pre-sume he ERFA's will be back, at least for camp. Jackson (RFA) will be tagged at the highest level. He'll be back or we'll have a first to use.
OL
Thuney, Andrews, Eluemunor, Ferentz ]also Cannon will likely retire]
RB
White, Burkhead
WR
Byrd
[Edelman could retire]
QB (consider them gone)
Newton
Hoyer
DL
Guy, Butler, Simon, Wise, Davis
LB
Calhoun [Hightower is likely retiring]
DB
Brooks
J McCourty
[D McCourty could retire]
{Chung could retire]
ST
Folk
Bethel
Davis
Copeland
Almost any not signed would need to be replaced, and that would cost cap money, similar to re-signing.
BOTTOM LINE
We all want to add a QB, WR, TE, NT and LB (or two at each of these positions. The first issue is do our best at night creating holes by letting our FA's leave. After we finish making decisions on our re-signing our own, including money for the RFA's, there will be a lot less left than folks think is there.
