We have 56 players under contract plus one ERFA (WR Hollister). Also, we never lose an RFA that we want to keep (almost no one does), so J Jones is #58.

My question is who we might field if we played with the players we have under contract. This highlights the fact that it is really easy to see that there are many, many positions that will be upgraded through re-signings (we have 17 UFA's), trades, free agents, the draft and UDFA's.

Patterson is a free man
 
Was Jeremy on a 1 yr contract?
He looked good prior to injury.
 
Well, Devin says that his wife doesn't want him home yet, so we should pencil him in as returning. Jason says that he still wants to play (as of now), so that's still in play, too.
 
Thanks Mg, to torture myself I maintain a similar list, I may not have every player right but it paints a picture to identify themes.

 
Schwenke got re-signed as backup C/G
 
As you said, it’s hard to get every player right, but Elandon Roberts graded as your lowest level? He had a 2018 campaign that would be considered “adequate,” at worst.

Allen and Karras are solid options for the depth 2 chart.
 
I added Schwenke.

We all had high hope for Rivers TWO years ago

lots of people had a 1st round grade on him of I remember correctly.

But not all is lost. Flowers didn't play his first year either and he might take 1 year after his ACL to be at full strength but no doubt 2019 appears to be a do or die season for him.

Michel needs to be at least quality starter if not Pro Bowl caliber imo. Gronk I would downgrade to high quality starter, Mason to Pro Bowl level and Roberts should be adequate from what he showed down the stretch.

What about Jeremy Hill? You don’t show him on the roster but you also don’t show him as a free agent. What’s his status?
