Goldson was a definite leader, BUT...he gave up some big plays, including the 1st Td against Green Bay. I know he was hurting late in the year, but he definitely looked a step slow to me.

Anyway, for my money, I'd part with those guys above.
Would definitely bring back DY.

Dropping Goldson would be a mistake without first exploring a pay reduction or restructure to make the cap hit more friendly. Still a solid player.

But I totally agree on the others. I for one am kind of tired of scraping by at MLB. I really want to see an athletic thumper in there. Partly because a stud MLB makes the team flat out better, and partly because I think a hard nosed tough as nails mentality at that spot is contagious and gives the rest of the team an edgy attitude and attacking mentality. I still want McC to go with his BPA, but it'd be fantastic if our first rounder ends up being MLB as BPA.

Stout DLine would be good too.
