Pending free agents, who do you keep?

Schobert for sure unless he's expecting a Mosley-like contract.

I'd bring back Robinson ONLY as a backup.

Higgins and Randall depending on the type of contract they're looking for. They did nothing this year to earn a big pay day by any means.

Hunt - 2nd Round tender 

Higgins - decent deal

Robinson - swing tackle money 

 

Everyone else can go, plus there's no guarantee the new DC would like Schobert and Randall anyway. Schobert maxed out as a player imo, and Randall is too emotional and picks and chooses when he wants to play, neither is worthy of big money

Offers:

Hunt - 1st round tender. 4/$28 mil if he will take it now. He will price himself out of our services by the end of next season otherwise. He owes us right now.

Randall - 1yr prove-it or 3/$24 mil, first season fully guaranteed and then cuttable for minimal guarantee. He looked good before this year and could thrive with the right coach. 

Schobert - team leader and very solid, top 10-15 at his position. He is still not worth top-five at his position and not sure how he fits. Do not want to invest the 5/$70 that he likely wants/will get. At the very least franchise and trade if we can get a first--unpopular opinion...yup.

Higgins - want him back. He looked like at least a quality #4 before the season that wasn't. If we can get him for 3/$12'ish mil, bring him back.

Robinson has inflated value. Let him walk already and try someone else. He's not at all worth $9+mil per year. Yuck.

I’m ok with another 1 year deal for GRob depending on who’s available/wants to come here.

I completely agree that we shouldn't invest top LB money for Joe even though I love everything he does for the team.

We're going to have some really tough decisions financially soon and that's going to be a contract we regret as Joe's play/ability falls off in 3-years.

If we must pay him, front-load the money in the first 2 years, although Franchising him may sound wild to some, it's a great idea assuming that would allow us to keep a high quality LB for a year until we can find another solution. He'd then be allowed to walk the following year if necessary.

He's one of those guys that the eyeball test makes clear about talent level. If he makes sense financially as a stop-gap, sure. If we're gonna pay him low/mid starter money, let's just give that to Hunt and go with a promising backup from another team or a high-round rookie. He's very replaceable and we overpaid him this season, premium position or not. He's just not that good. 

But yeah, our line looks like a wreck right now, but maybe we can get a guy who's much better for $10-12 mil/year for four years--just spitballing--and actually have the position handled.

Hopefully our newfangled front office and coaching combo have their eyes on multiple gems both in free agency and the draft--actually getting pretty excited about this new set up when not just looking at the coach in a vacuum.

There is some structural promise, even though a bunch of folks are setting themselves on fire with all this rampant speculation about the end of times and Jimmy's backroom meetings.
