Lawson?  We gotta keep that guy. 

Jackson? We gotta keep that guy.

Geno?  I'd like to keep him around if he restructures.

Bynes?  I think we should probably keep him.

Alexander?  Definitely keep that guy.

Green, Gio, Uzomah, Hart...

A lot of people on here are in favor of keeping all but one or two of these player, if not every single one.  It really is amazing.

It's like, guys, you know we've won 6 games over the last 2 seasons, right?  Team hasn't made the playoffs in 6 years.  Maybe it's time to try some new players in some certain spots?

"Nah, Carl Lawon and William Jackson play for my team.  I know who they are.  There are no other options.  I don't care how much it costs, our players are irrreplaceable.  Let's run it back again!"

I have said keep Lawson...literally, that's it. I said I'd hold on to Geno and see how the rest of FA shakes out and you go to him for money if/when needed (mainly because of the lack of pass-rushing 3T's in FA). Simply deciding all guys must be bad because they are on bad units is just as amazing. Carl Lawson is universally one of the top FA's in this class for a reason. He is young enough to build around and without him, your only player able to generate pressure is gone so you have to recruit at least one, maybe two, guys just to replace his pressures. When you have that guy, you don't let that guy walk just because the defense as a whole is bad.
