Bruce Carter
Rolando McClain
Nick Hayden
Brandon Carr (though he has stepped it up lately, still not worth the money)

We obviously need help on defense...at the end of the day, we just don't have enough pass rushers or guys who can make plays on the ball when its in the air

I like some of the young players we have and a few of the vets, but we obviously need another quality DL or two, another LB and a couple new DB's

I'm cautiously optimistic with Mincey/Crawford on the ends. Especially with Lawrence stepping up at the end of the year. But we need players at DT.

I want Jon88 to kidnap that ref that reversed the call and fuck him to death.

Thought Carter improved by leaps and bounds as the year went on. McClain who looked like our saviour early on turned to unreliable peanut brittle. Let him find his money and a new team trainer elsewhere.

Keep Carter in the middle for next year. LB trio of Carter, Lee, and Hitchens looks strong.

I still don't like Carter's effort. Seemed most of it this year stemmed from a contract season. Saw him today just jogging after a player in the 4th.

A pass rush would help the secondary. Church made a ton of stops the last two years. Not ready to dump him.

Church is fine to have on the team. He just stinks downfield and is not a really playmaking FS at all.

I doubt they can replace both Wilcox and Church in one offseason with the other stuff that needs to be worked on too, but I definitely wotnt be surprised if one of them is a backup next year.

LDE Anthony Spencer and George Selvie - Both free agents. Let them walk. Get younger, get quicker.
3-TECH Tyrone Crawford and Henry Melton - I liked what Melton brought but he's not worth $9M, Crawford really came on, and the staff doesn't seem to like Melton's attitude.
1-TECH Nick Hayden, Josh Brent, Terrell McClain - With Marinelli gone Hayden should be as well. Brent can literally kill someone and be brought back. McClain isn't anything special but has as affordable contract. Need to get younger and bigger.
RDE Jeremy Mincey and Demarcus Lawrence - Mincey grew on men and should be brought back, Lawrence came on late but is not the elite pass rusher he was hyped to be. Need a speed edge rusher.
SAM Bruce Carter, Justin Durant, and Kyle Wilber - Carter is too up and down to reward with a contract extension. Durant on a 2-year deal(or less) only. Consider upgrading.
MIKE Rolando McClain - Loved the attitude and toughness he brought to the defense, hated the missed games. Only way he comes back is with several clauses for playing time and off field behavior.
WILL Sean Lee and Anthony Hitchens - Both will be in the mix next year. Liked the idea of Lee playing WILL but not sure that happens now.

LCB Brandon Carr - Absolutely should be let go. Need to uprade here.
SS Barry Church - Liability in coverage but team seems blind to it.
FS JJ Wilcox - Should be a strong safety but need to improve regardless. Need to get faster and with better cover/ball skills.
RCB Orlando Scandrick - Keeper. Defensive MVP this year.
CB - Sterling Moore and Mo Claiborne. Moore should be cheap. Claiborne will get another year to prove Jerry not so stupid.
