When you look at who you let walk you have to consider which ones have the best replacement available.

With Dennard hurting I believe we will definitely re-sign either Adam or Leon at CB.

I also believe we will make a strong run at Sanu.  The coaches really seem to love the guy.  But if the paucity of WR talent in the free agent pool may drive up his price.  I want to keep him, but I dpn't want to overpay to do it.

Yeah, I get what you're saying....but depth is nice too.  The trio of Williams, Nelson, and Iloka would be the best back end in the game, in my opinion.  I'd sign Jones, and let Leon go.....or sign for a VERY team friendly deal....I'm talking approaching vet minimum.  I LOVE Leon, but age is creeping up, and the injuries have taken their toll.  

I'd let Sanu go as well.  I just don't get the love.....he gets the dropsies from time to time, and disappears totally.  Draft, cheap stop gap vet like a Bouldin....still money for Reggie.  I sure wouldn't overpay for him if I didn't overpay Jones.

While I agree Nelson is most likely odd man out, there are scenarios that could keep him here.
