  • BASS, Khalil -- useful guy to re-sign, obviously not essential
  • BISHOP, Ken -- since we still have Wynn and Cash, re-sign only at a low price
  • BLACK, Matt -- will likely retire, all the best to him
  • EDWARDS, Armanti -- must re-sign, but price will be high
  • FAJARDO, Cody -- I'd like him back, as holder/short-yardage and depth guy, but salary has to stay below $100k
  • FULLER, Jeff -- let him walk
  • GABRIEL, Jermaine -- must re-sign, but price will be high
  • GREEN, S.J. -- must re-sign, but price may be high
  • HAJRULLAHU, Lirim -- must re-sign, I expect we will get him back
  • LAING, Cleyon -- Really want him back but price will be high; I expect he will try NFL again and/or get CFL offers
  • MITCHELL, Josh -- would like to see what he can do, but he has zero bargaining power, may be let go
  • MURRAY, Derico -- valuable guy who should be re-signed if possible
  • OWUSU-ANSAH, Akwasi -- I'd like him back but he is replaceable (Darby)
  • POSEY, DeVier -- definitely want him back but he'll probably get NFL and CFL offers; I think 50/50 at best
  • RAY, Ricky -- really, really hope he re-signs; after hearing him yesterday, I think 50/50 at best
  • SEARS JR., Johnny -- depth guy, can be replaced, let him go
  • VAUGHN, Cassius -- should be a priority signing, warrants a decent raise
  • WALKER, Cameron -- has no barg power, I'm fine with bringing him back but there are other guys who can fill his role on STs
  • WAUD, Daryl -- after three seasons of almost no game action, he'll be allowed to walk and will probably sign with Hamilton
  • WHITAKER, Brandon -- will likely retire, all the best to him
  • WHITE, Mitchell -- I'd like him back but he is replaceable (Darby); I wouldn't be surprised if he goes back to Ottawa
  • WOODS, Bear -- must re-sign IMO; he along with Ball and Lemon is key to the defence
Yeah I could go along with all those ideas. White looks like he could be a good cover guy in a man defense. He turned Ottawa down when cut this year.
Really disappointed for Daryl Waud. Don't know what his injury was this year. I would like to see him back because I believe he has good pass rushing ability. Maybe at DE in place of Walker? He looked a lot lighter than the listed 290 this year.
He will get offers.
