The only one I see commanding more than a minimum salary that we'd want is Fairley.
The rest aside from Kruger (don't want) we could basically bring back for "free" cap wise.
In other words they could all come back, but we may not sign a few due to age (Evans and Harper) or we have someone else in mind at a position that is pretty much full already.
I would like to see Moore and Hightower brought back as guys that could play meaningful snaps and not just special teams.

Sign Harper to a coaching spot lol

Harper needs to focus his attention on participating in a Morgan Freeman look-alike contest.

Fairley needs to be signed ASAP

Why resign Cadet if you feel like he is not going to make the team?
I personally think we should cut Murphy and Grayson also and get back those pennies.

They'll probably sign Cadet to a contract and then hope that someone beats him out in training camp. Signing someone at league minimum doesn't mean that you think he will make the team. There is no downside to signing a bunch of league minimum players. It's actually pretty smart. Maybe bonethug or tigerbait can explain it to you better than I can.

You get to sign 90 players in the offseason and only keep 53 for the season.
The majority of those 90 players are playing for the minium, so you sign guys that can fill roles and play special teams to fill up that 90 at the middle to bottom.
Cadet can fill a role and play special teams. That's why he (sadly) keeps hanging around. They likely sign him but you always hope you can find a diamond late in the draft or as an UDFA to take their place.
So far we haven't hit on anyone to take him out.

Fairley should be resigned... I'd keep Lelito b/c of versatility/depth... Moore seems like he was pretty well liked among the staff, so I could see him coming back.... Edeballi seems to have a least some value as a pass rusher.... and I'd keep Barrington because he's young and has a little potential on the outside...
