    Possibly all of the above but from a cap perspective letting Barron, Chick, McDonald & Foster go makes a lot of sense, Berry too. If you replace them smartly you save over $20m.

    Holton and McCullers play a lot of special teams, they are not particularly expensive and they contribute there imo. I would not be too opposed to keeping them

    Artie Burns may be looking for a new home as well, depending on how Justin Layne plays in camp

    Artie isn't under contract for next season, that's why he wasn't listed.

    He makes over 5 million next year, where's the production? Too inconsistent for that amount of money, they probably blew it this past draft by not getting a better prospect than Gentry.

    Have to keep MacDonald out of shower necessity.

    We also need to make a decision on BJ Finney.

    McDonald has to go. He ended up being exactly how he looks a whiney douche.

    Holton is a Special Teams demon. Doubt they let him go. As for the others, disagree on McDonald.



    The combination of Fichtner's inconsistency with the inconsistency of the QB Position doomed McDonald from the start of the season. Now this is not to say McDonald has an excuse. The chances he did have he made little to no oppurtunity.



    That has to be fixed. First things first though. Get rid of Mark Barron...




    NOW!!

    Chick, Foster and Berry would be at the top of my list. Barron can go too.

    Add
    Conner
    Vanett
    JUJU
    Both QB
    Spend the cash on some established players who aren't hurt all the time. Add Burrow to Cincinnati and our diivision is going to be very good real soon. If Ben cant play get someone who can. Time for changes. Players and coaches.

    Forgot to add this. An unpopular opinion at the moment but one worth pondering. Considering Terrell Edmunds cannot play the Strong Safety spot to save his life, why not put him at ILB?! Unlike Mark Barron, Terrell has played the position before at Virgina Tech.



    Among the three seasons there, that was his most productive. In addition, Keith Butler alluded to him playing the position in the future during the 2018 Training Camp session. Add the fact that he led the team in tackles this season with 105 and the position switch should not be too difficult to pull off.



    Besides, as I have said, Mark Barron is likely gone anyway. Why not have someone who is far more athletically gifted with experience playing the position slot right in?! It is a win win as I see it as Terrell will have a full Training Camp getting re-acclimated to the new position.

    Foster, Burns, McCuller, Switzer, Chick, Pouncey, Villaueva, Duck, Conners, McDonald, Berry Conners, McDonald's can't stay healthy. Another running back, cant think of his name.
    Yes I said Pouncey. Over paid revolving door.

    I can't wait to see the list of replacement players some of you guys want to fill the depth on the team next year.

    I would franchise tag Dupree, pass rushers are harder to find than NT. I would like for Hargrave to come back, but I don't think they can afford to bring both of them back.

    JuJu and Conner are cheap pieces, they both had disappointing seasons but I would bring them back, they're both going into the final year of their rookie contracts.
