  • 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
I agree with your must sign guys. I would like to see them go after Posey if the CFL bidding doesn't get prohibitive. I'm not certain he will draw tons of NFL interest having already had three kicks at the can their, and being 28 next year with some injury history.
