For me, I'll start with the big stuff. They will let Bates walk. We will either see a Burrow extension or a Higgins extension (possibly both but less likely).
Big reach prediction (as in lowest odds of being right) - Mixon gets cut but they do it when the cap hit is minimal.
Other possible cuts - Adeniji (please?), D'Ante Smith
Free Agency - depth pieces mostly with exception being a "Reiff" type signing at OT.
Draft - we go OT, RB, WR (need a more explosive piece behind Boyd) LB, CB (not in this order necessarily).
What do YOU think they WILL do?
Pretty much the same as you Joelist. Bates, Pratt leave. Burrow extension, Bell extension, a couple year extension for Hurst, bring
back Perine. Cut Mixon when it is best served. Too bad it will most likely be after the Draft, we will see. Wait on one of Donavan Smith
or Tayor Lewan to be cheap and bring in at least one of or both these guys and Draft an OT and a pass blocking RB. Add a WR in the
Draft that can replace a bit of what Boyd does, gets you the 3rd downs underneath etc.
Think we look to extend Tee next Offseason.
