Isn't their good LB a free agent? I forget his name, but the best one.

The players they will resign are Westbrook, Trotter, Ritchie, and Burgess. Those to me are the players they HAVE to resign. Then you have players like Mayberry, Buckhalter, and Chad Lewis. We have a good offenseive line already loosing Mayberry would hurt but nothing drastic, Buckhalter was out for the whole season and is hard to tell if they will resign, and LJ Smith is going to be huge in the future so Chad Lewis may not be an Eagle.

I think they will have enough cap room from between resigning the players and acquiring maybe a Sean Alexander.
