Jump to the offseason: Who stays, who goes?

[Landshark]

ha ha, if you want to TRADE for the 1st overall pick in this draft with Andrew Luck. Try giving up pretty much the first 4 rounds of picks this year. And at least a 1st and 2nd next year. And maybe another early pick the year after that. And honestly, that PROBABLY isn't enough. Probably. A team might want a Ricky deal where it takes every pick in this draft a the first couple rounds next year. And even that may not be enough.

That's only if the team drafting is hot on Luck.  A team like St. Louis would not be because they have their franchise QB of the future, and with his contract, he is unmovable.

Looking at the table... wow, do we NOT have a lot of players signed long term.

As for who stays, it seems like a lot of people are discounting the CHEAP and SERVICEABLE guys we have. Sure, too many of them are starters right now, but they are not the ones you cut.

Cheap & Serviceable:

Chris Clemons ($600k)
Vontae Davis ($1M)
John Denney ($800k)
Brandon Fields ($1.1M)
Brian Hartline ($600k)
John Jerry ($500k)
Reshad Jones ($500k)
Koa Misi ($500k)
Jared Odrick ($600k)
Sean Smith ($500k)
Cameron Wake ($600k)
Daniel Thomas ($700k)

Okay, so several of those guys are more than just serviceable, but whatever you think of someone like Sean Smith, Reshad Jones or John Jerry, you're just not going to find BETTER players at that value.

NONE of the above should be cut. Try to bring in someone better, by all means, and demote them to backup, but no way should they be at risk of being cut (I'm assuming that John Jerry doesn't devolve into a fat blob, in which case he would need to go, regardless of the salary).
