Kerrigan's consecutive start streak is a testament to the fact that he's the kind of character Rivera would like to build around culture-wise, so I bet he sticks. He's going to be a declining player but his hard working mindset is an asset to Rivera. You might be able to get him at a reduced cap number but this year we have so much cap space that I'm not even worried about it.
And Trent has the pot history but he also has supreme talent and Rivera has been said to be making retaining Trent one of his top priorities. He will likely go with the blank slate mindset. If you come back we wipe it all clean and start fresh together.

I know Trent is one strike away from a year suspension but honestly it was so long ago I really don't consider that to be a major factor. If he really was this massive stoner in the vein of Ricky Williams or Eugene Monroe I don't think we'd be talking about it like it's a matter of when, not if. People seem to forget Trent was a team leader and a captain before he left. Those are titles you get by earning the trust of your teammates.
