We have a scheme without the right players to run it. Walker isn't a rush 'backer, he's a hand in the dirt RE.  Allen is a Sam. Our other linebackers are better suited for 43 with Foye at Mike and Lloyd as a run and hit Will. Muma is a traditional Mike too. Our linemen, Fatu and DHam, are classic 43 DTs. We don't have any of the right body types in the front 7 to run an effective 34.

Wingard is definitely caught up in a numbers game at this point. 

What happens above him on the depth chart money-wise will likely determine whether or not he gets a vet minimum offer to remain in Jax. 
Would be cool if they find a way to keep him, but I'm seeing it as 50/50 at best right now.

Dewey, Thomas, and Claybrooks are all Teams vets that could be gone. That could really affect our coverage teams next year.

Dewey, Thomas, Claybrooks, Gotsis, and other such free agents provide valuable special teams and backup players.  True, they aren't going to be pro-bowlers, but can be very attractive veteran limited contributors and depth at minimum cost....very valuable for your cap to be able to afford higher paid players. I would try to resign them, but just be prepared to let them walk in a negotiation if someone else wants to pay them more.
