Yeah, Pryor is not coming back here at all. They brought him in as a QB, and that was that.
Ogbuehi will be a mystery that's for sure.
Eatonfan: Depth wise, it's got to be linebacker, safety, and wide receiver. Not necessarily in that order, but they need it.
As for signing priority -- that's become interesting. I don't think they want to pay Iloka what the market will wind up paying him. But then Nelson is a UFA, too -- so they could get put in a really bad box at the end of the season. Iloka has left the door open to re-sign before he hits the open market, but they won't take a discount. Not now.
Zeitler is interesting. No way they want to make him the highest paid guard in the league next year - but I think they want to see him do for a full 16+ games. It's a luxury they have with him.
