Dulin, and Stuard for STs. Dayo, because he will not command too much, and is a good rotational piece. Fries, because he was a top RG when healthy. Sanchez, because he is a good punter.

Kelly is going to retire, I think. The rest are very meh.

Maybe keep French, just for the memes

Agree w/ Dulin and Stuard for STs and Sanchez as well.

If we can get Dayo back on a 1 year show me deal or 2 years for cheap then I would keep him as well to see if he can turn things around and get back to his 2023 form.

If not for the injury we probably would have had to let Fries walk, but b/c of it I think we can get him for a 1 year reasonable deal, which I think we should.

French and Goodson would be ok at their respective minimums.

Guessing Glow is not on the list b/c he's on the PS, but I would bring him back for the vet minimum if possible.

He's gone downhill dramatically, and is not worth 16 mil. Lose him.

I heard that the lead ground crew guy can really spin it. I say we keep him on a 6 year contract.

My hunch says he told Chris Ballard he was a piece of shit and wouldn't play for him any longer.

Since then Ballard has been working on re-doing his contract to give him more guaranteed money next year.

My guess is that an immediate family member(s) has some serious health problems going on.
