Snead is a RFA. He'll get tagged at the 2nd round tender and then we'll discuss an extension. I think the 2nd round tender was $1.8 mil a year or two ago, so likely not much more next year.
On Okafor, unless he hits double digit sacks (which seems to be the magic wallet opener for teams) I doubt he sees more than $6 mil per, and that's if he keeps on the pace he's on. He hit 8 sacks before and it didn't help his market this year.
Kelemete, Coleman, Moore, and Bush are all likely to see only minimum to $2 mil per. I don't see any of them on track for more than minimum at this point though.
Daniel is a backup QB do he may command a bit more, but I didn't like what I saw in the preseason and would rather look elsewhere.
Fairley will wind up saving a lot more money when they finally reach a settlement. Possible he'll only be on the books for a very small portion of the signing bonus or maybe not at all.
Fleener is still getting snaps but he seems to be getting phased out recently with Hooman showing he's healthy. Not sure if he's a FA this year but I could see us parting with Fleener, retaining Hooman and Hill, and drafting a TE in the first four rounds.
Strief is a tough one, but we should probably look to move on with the money we can save and put elsewhere. Perhaps another tackle could be taken in the top four rounds. Good RTs can usually be found a little later (but without a third it may have to be a second or trading up/back).
And I don't see Vaccaro getting more than $10 mil, but I see him getting closer to $8.5-9.5 mil.
Brees is a tricky one and we really need to either extend him before FA or let him go as $12 mil jumps on the cap if he hits FA (on top of the $6 mil he's already costing next year).
