Preston Brown
Vontaze Burfict
Jordan Evans  
Malik Jefferson
Hardy Nickerson
Vincent Rey
Nick Vigil
Chris Worley

Brown and Rey are both unrestricted free agents. Burfict just needs to go for the benefit of all. Nickerson is just awful !

To me the keep list is small:

Vigil - I could see him being serviceable paired with two good LBers.
Jefferson - 3rd round pick, is he really that bad that he couldn't move one of these others out ?
Brown - I'm on the bubble about ? If the price was right I guess ?

I keep Vigil  Evans Jefferson

Chris Worley at least gets an invite to camp to compete.
Offer Brown a new 1 or 2 year deal to see if Haslam was the issue as Brown was very good for the bills.

I let nickerson go...      Vinney Rey is tough id like to see him replaced with an upgrade   but I would rather someone beat him in camp than not.  maybe let him test the waters and if cold offer him a 1 year deal to compete in camp.
