That is a chunk of the core of the team. And we can't keep them all.
I expect them to throw some picks at replacements.
Hendrickson is not a FA until 2025.
As for the rest:
1. Higgins: extension this offseason. Working on it now.
2. Wilson: probable extension if reasonable.
3. Reader= core piece already on high salary. Extend.
4. Boyd = likely gone unless he takes a haircut. Draft replacement now or next year.
5. Awuzie: good but not great. See how he is this year. Draft a cornerthis year, preferably early. He only makes around $7 mil. Reasonable.
6. Jonah. Gone after this year if not this year. Not a core piece. Carman or Collins or a pick (this year or next) takes over.
7. Mixon. Ditto. Draft a replacement this year or next.
