Who is on your list?  I would cut MJ but the team won't.  Ditto Shawn Williams, although I am willing to give both a bit of a pass and hope the new coach puts MJ as a rotational DT (where he was surprisingly decent) and uses Williams more up at the LOS to stuff the rushing attack and easy check-downs.

I hate salary-cap discussions but if you think of players they will likely not be re-signing that are internal FA (Eifert, Adam Jones) there should be some money freed up right there.  I know they have to sign Dunlap and Atkins, but the increases of their contracts could easily be from not re-signing Jones and Eifert.
