It isn't just offense vs defense, it is gonna be anywhere we can save outside of Burrow, Chase, Higgins, and Brown. 

We just paid Pratt (2nd contract) but let Bell (3rd contract) and Bates (2nd contract, too expensive) go. Pratt (2nd contract)  was retained on a reasonable deal. 

I don't think all the vets go, but really big contracts are gonna be rare, and really big 3rd contracts even rarer. I doubt 3rd contracts for Reader, Hendrickson, Boyd, BJ Hill, Hubbard, Chido, Cappa, Hilton, and Karras will be as lucrative as the ones they are on now. There could be an exception or two. Mixon's & Collins' certainly won't be.
