Adam Carriker: Are you ready to hand over his spot to Jenkins and find someone else to provide depth?

Kedrick Golston: Um...I'm not really sure what to say here

Rocky McIntosh: Ditto

Will Montgomery: You can likely get him back for cheap. But do you say screw it and maybe try to draft a young C and move on without Montgomery? Or maybe you sign Grubbs and move Kory L. to C?

Tyler Polumbus: Has he shown you enough to offer him a contract to come back and compete for a T position

Donte Stallworth: Since returning after getting cut he's been a very clutch receiver, but should he stay?

Obviously, everything that follows here is based on the idea that reasonable contracts can be negotiated for players I would want to keep. No one on this list is worth saddling the franchise with a huge multi-year deal with $30M guaranteed for example...


Hightower - - if he is healthy, keep him.

Carriker - - keep him until Jenkins shows that he can play against NFL starters in games that count in the standings.

Golston/McInstosh - - meh! neither is going to be a cornerstone of the defense; neither will embarrass the team if they have to play for a few series a game or be a starter for a week while someone gets over a minor injury.

Montgomery - - adequate and nothing more. team can do better and worse by making a change here. hope he is willing to work cheap...

Polumbus - - keep him. I think he might start next season.

Stallworth - - bring him to camp and let him compete for a spot next season the way the team did last season. If he beats out other WRs, good on him; if not, vaya con Dios.
