I'd bring back:

Crosby
Perry
Starks
Raji
Hayward

I wouldn't break the bank tho.

Second tier:
Neal
Guion
Barlcay
Tolzien (If he doesn't get a shot elsewhere, also depending on the development of our project guy at this position.)
Jones
Banjo
Perillo
Crockett

Mason Crosby is essential, Mike Daniels is already resigned. The rest of them better be signed at bargain basement deals because they are all very replaceable.

Daniels is already resigned.

From the rest I'd only resign Crosby, the others I think I'd prefer to see them gone and start with some fresh players.

An unknown is better than a known underperformer.

And we know the rest of the story.

Jamon Merideth isn't on the Packers roster, how the heck did I overlook that? lol

I would re-sign these guys. Mason Crosby is the only one I would be willing to go over market value for. The rest are valuable cogs to Packers system more than they will contribute elsewhere.

[list=1]

Mason Crosby

B.J. Raji (if he plays the position he's best suited for)

Casey Hayward

James Jones (if he makes the roster, that's not saying much about the 2016 WR corp)

Chris Banjo

John Crockett

Letroy Guion

Nick Perry

John Kuhn

[/list]

In fact we might, since Starks has been coughing it up lately.

Like others have said I think the only player worth overpaying for is Crosby.

I think Neal, Perry, Guion, Raji, and Hayward are all worth resigning once they test the FA market. If they get a good offer let them go, if not try and bring them back on reasonable deals. It would be better for the team imo if they resigned one of Neal/Perry and one of Guion/Raji. It would be hard replacing all those guys in the draft, we'd definitely have a set-back next year and probably 2017 trying to develop their replacements. Hayward really is a good slot CB so if we can sign him for cheap enough i'm all for it, but I think the future is in Randall + Rollins so i'm pretty sure he signs elsewhere.

Jones, Kuhn, Tolzien, and Starks I don't mind resigning for a vet minimum non-guaranteed contract to see if they can win a spot on the roster but if they want any kind of assurances let them walk. The exception being maybe resigning Tolzien for another year if Hundley isn't ready to be the #2 yet.

Martha Careful (17h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (17h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Rude!

beast (21h) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
