I'd also try and trade anyone that has value, go 1-15 and have the first pick in the 2012 draft.

It's tough to try to trade impending free agents. Sign and trades don't work as well in the NFL as they do in the NBA

My opinion (sprinkled in with some knowledge of the situations)

Rogers: He'll be back, but it could be a drawn out process
Rocky: They'll let him walk
Grossman: Working on a 2 year extension that essentially allows him to be a bridge to the next guy
Blades: Not likely to return (or so I've been told)
Brown: He stays, they're working on a new contract with him
Wilson: I'd like to see him back but I don't know
Sellers: I'm done with him, he needs to go already
Heyer: They like him, probably will be back
Buchanon: He wants a starters job, but he likes it here. I don't really know
Doughty: Should be back
Golston: Probably gone, looking go get paid. Not in our long term plans

Then I'd just let them go. We're never going to get over the hump with any of these guys. If we bring them back we're just going to have another 4-6 win season. I'd rather go 1-15 then 6-10.

Isn't 1-15 a "fire everybody" situation?

I don't mean just Mike Shanahan, Rex Grossman, and DeAngelo Hall. I mean, like, Bruce Allen and Eric Shaffer.

Yeah I didn't get the whole "I'd rather go 1-15 vs. going 6-10 again" thing. I don't want 6-10 and I hope the team does better but I'll take the 6-10 over 1-15 as long as progress is being made to get this team to be respectable. In other words if they can pick up young healthy players and move the ball well but their issue is the "red zone" then we know thats all they need to work on the following year. I don't ever want to be the team that only wins 1 game all year.

This is good news to me. I really want Rodgers to be on top of the list to be signed. D.Hall is a must keeper I dont see all the doubt in his play he has been solid in my eyes.

Sellers I am so done with him as well.
Buchanon Ive liked since his H-town days but Barnes was so impressive I'd like to see more of him. Youth movement baby!
Wilson played well this year. It shall be interesting this off season.
