Most likely to be back with the team next year?

I happen to think we're 3-4 seasons away from a top ten defense again. Apart from Golston and Carter the entire defensive line got old. Washington is the only solid linebacker on the roster, and Sean Taylor is the only solid defensive back -- and he still needs some tooling. That's a whole lot of filling in to do with the other 7 starters. And doesn't even touch the problems with capable depth.

But I think just the same way that players can get old overnight the reverse can happen as well. All of a sudden next year, Rocky can become a beast, Taylor can be the player we envisioned when he was drafted, we could add a Clements (which should make Rogers better), etc.
