I think Tandler forgets we have a new GM... I see more roster churn, simply because I think McCloughan has more contracts expiring and has a full season of evaluating the current roster. We'll have more cap available & he'll make huge changes. He won't spend money resigning guys who were picked under previous coaches unless they are real fits.
My thoughts on who is gone:
HC: I think Gruden will be gone... New OC & possibly a new DC.
QB: All QBs will be gone... Starter will likely be a vet on someone else's team today... We'll draft a QB.
RB: McCloughan revamps this positiion... Jones only one retained. All other RBs have contracts up.
WR: Cutting Garcon, Djax, & Roberts post June 1 frees up $20M... Roberts 100%, DJax 90%, Garcon 80% certain... Likely all gone.
TE: Less change here, but I hope we draft a more traditional NFL TE who can also catch. Paul stays because he has value and still has a contract. Paulsen's contract up, so he's gone.
OL: Cutting Lauvao & Lichte will save about $7.5M... Very little dead money with either. Do it. Let McCloughan continue to remake the roster. LeRibeus contract up.. not renewed (in case you had doubts).
DL: Hatcher cut (not much dead money, some savings). I'd like them to resign Knighton. Moving Murphy to DL sounds ridiculous.
OLB: Not much change here
ILB: Not much change, but I hope they upgrade Riley. If they can upgrade that position in FA, they cut Riley and save $4M in cap.
S: Ihenacho contract up, maybe they resign. Goldson will be cut (he basically signed a 1 year deal worth $4M, because remaining years have no guarantees and are in the $7-8M range. Jeron Johnson is "meh"... I think this position gets a major overhaul, but Johnson might be retained. It really depends on the coach.
CB: I love DHall, but he'll probably be a post-June 1 cut... Breeland & Culliver are obviously safe.
Special Teamers are probably the most "safe" players on the team.

They both predict the same first round draft pick.
