I think we'll be fine. I think our biggest priority will be resigning Ronald Leary. He's considered one of the top guards in the league already. Hopefully teams are still scared of his knees to not throw big money at him. We might have to match a huge contract to resign him.
We can always slap the franchise tag on Murray. See if he repeats next year then slap it on him again. You don't give a 26 year old RB a long-term contract.
Dez will be expensive but I think we'll get it done.
I think someone might be willing to give Parnell a surprisingly high offer. He has physical upside and looked good in limited time on the most elite O-line in the league. Teams overpay for players on elite units. There hasn't been a more elite unit this season in the NFL than our O-line. You don't think other teams realize that Leary, Free and Parnell will all be available? Someone will be willing to pay. I just really hope we don't lose Leary. Our O-line could take a huge fall if we do. He's that good.
And I also want to keep Melton. Two stud 3-techs is a must in Marinelli's D, and Melton plays a lot of SDE too. I don't care about guys like Spencer and Selvie. We can easily replace them, and we should.
The top 5 guys I really want to see back in order are:
1. Leary
2. Dez
3. Melton
4. Murray
5. Free
Leary's restricted, so we should be able to get him back with a first-round tender.
I wouldn't have a problem franchising Murray. It's several million cheaper than franchising Dez or even Free (who I wouldn't tag no matter what).
