Missing starters

OFFENSE
RT...Hart is a free agent (as are Fisher, Smith, and Ogbuehi)

RG...Redmond is free agent (as is Trey Hopkins)

TE...Eifert, Uzomah, and Kroft are all free agents.


DEFENSE
LB...Preston Brown is a free agent.

CB...Dennard is a free agent (nickel corner usually plays twice as many snaps as one of the starting LBs in a 4-3)

DE...Michael Johnson is a free agent.


Possible new starters already here....Hubbard should step in for Johnson.  Some people think Westerman can start at OG, but I have yet to be convinced.

Possible free agents re-signed.....I think we will re-sign Dennard.  Some of the others may be re-signed, but none of them look especially worthy of starting.  The only exception is Preston Brown.  I wonder if he just struggled due to his injury early in the season?

So ther than Hubbard and Dennard that leaves 4 holes with no returning starter.  You can't bet on more than one or two starters from the draft.  So we pretty much have to sign 2 or 3 starters in free agency.

I like to sign these three if the $$ is in the correct range

Dennard-  solid player and like you said 3rd CB in today's game is like a starter.  sign him

Brown-  Track record says he is a everydown type MBer.. injuries hit everyone in the NFL even for a season... we are very thin at LB. he has a solid track record of play and health.. sign him

Uzomah-  A solid overall TE for us.. and plays hurt ... No way do i want us to go into training camp with zero depth at TE... can't count Tyler as depth.. sign him
