1. DT Travis Johnson?
2. CB Faggins?
3. QB Sage Rosenfells?
4. RB's Ahman Green & Chris Brown?
5. S.S. C.C. Brown?
6. LB Greenwood?

Can you name anymore?

1. only if salary dictates it
2. YES
3. see #1. I like him as a backup.
4-6. YES

7. Weaver
8. Bruener
9. Chris Taylor
10. Brian Pittman
11. chaun thompson (diles and adibi make him useless)
12. Bennett (toasted all year)
13. Demps
14. Harrison
etc...

A shorter list might be who I'd keep on the 55 for next year.
the o-line
slaton
schaub (unless some team gives away a QB like brees a few years ago)
All 5 WRs
Dreesen/daniels
Mario, Buhlman, cochran
Adibi, diles, bentley, ryans
dunta, wilson, barber, reeves, molden

I can go with most of your list. I'm not as down on TJ as you are, but I realize I'm in the minority on that. Sage is what he is. He's a decent back-up. I don't think he's worn out his welcome with the coaches in that role. If they get a decent trade offer he could be gone. If he thinks he can get a starting job when his deal is done he'll leave.

Green is done here.

Greenwood is gone. He probably was anyway, but Adibi has been good enough to put the nail in the coffin

Chris Brown probably gets one more shot in training camp, but the he doesn't have much wiggle room.

CC will probably have a hard time sticking around.

Faggins is probably as good as gone.

I'm not big on TJ, I just think he is good enough to be in our rotation at DT if his salary is reasonable (I don't know if it is). If we were to start replacing DTs he would probably be 3 or 4 on my list to replace since at this point I think he is better than Amobi, zgoniga, and okam. I know that doesn't say much, but I would still take him over those 3 who managed to have a roster spot on our team all year. Now if we find a decent one in the offseason AND if one of the younger two beats him out in camp next year, then get rid of him. I just think DT is one of the thinnest positions in the NFL and he has another year at least as one of our 2-3 best DTs before we get better here.

Thank you for pointing out what I have been saying for sometime, TJ is our best DT, and he is playing out of position. He is playing the way the coaches want him to play the position, read then react. He is better at penetration and disrupting the backfield, but our coaching staff wants the DTs to hold their guys and then see where to go. Wrong system for smaller DTs.

I'd support TJ for now as well, most of Dline is young.

I guess Faggins , Greenwood, Bruener , Demps would seem most likely to go to me, today. Overall I think we are getting better, should lead to a more stable team in future.

Definitely Brown and Green. I didn't even know we still had Brown. I'll assume he's on IR for the back related problem?
