Our upcoming FA'S are 

Josh Allen - YES
Agnew - interesting Luxury, depends on cash and who we draft. (trade bait?)
Smoot - - NOT for a 5 mill cap hit
Chaisson - - NO, draft pick's spot
Ridley - AFTER we sign our guys IF we have the cash AND only in a way we do not give up our second
Herndon - upgrade, practice squad maybe
Shatley - Minimum and let him compete with Cleveland for one spot
McManus - Yes
Ezra Cleveland - Yes, in lieu of FA market which may be bare this year. O-line coach relationship
D'Ernest Johnson - No

Then we have those bottom of the roster players

Hence  - NO, draft pick's spot
Shaq Quarterman - Venrill's spot, practice squad maybe,
Van Lanen - NO, draft pick's spot

Daniel Thomas - Yes
Tim Jones = NO
Claybrooke - No
Gregory Junior. - Sure

There's some very tough decisions on that list. Josh is a must sign and would be nice not to have to franchise tag him. I'd like to keep Agnew but it would need to be a team friendly deal. Smoot is a tough competitor and a good depth option, I'd like to keep Cleveland but not sure what he'd be after money wise.

Herndon is a tough one. I'm not his biggest fan but could be good to have as a 4th/5th CB on the depth chart but it would need to be a team friendly deal and I think we can find an improvement in the draft. McManus was doing well until his late season collapse.

Ridley is the big question mark. You'd need to cut or restructure a few probably to keep him and I have no idea what kind of money he would expect. I'd be interested to hear the coaches and Trevors opinions from working with him everyday as on gameday he's been very up and down.

So who you keeping and who you showing the door?
