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.

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty
