To start, we should re-sign Schwartz. He played well most of the time and is a great utility guy that can move around the line if any injuries crop up.
Sticking with the offensive line from there, I wouldn't mind signing Asamoah again at league minimum for depth purposes. I'm not sure what kind of contracts Veldheer and Oher would command but, if they'd be relatively cheap, I wouldn't mind bringing one in to push Stephenson/Fisher with Albert almost certainly splitting for FA.
On the offensive skill positions side, I'd like to see us go after Maclin or Emmanuel Sanders. Sanders would likely be the cheaper option and he's basically the same type of player as Maclin. I'd also throw an offer at Pettigrew and bite if he's willing to come for the cheap.
On the defensive side, all of those guys listed that are worth anything at DE are 4-3 guys so skip on that although I hate going into another season without a starting DE that can rush the passer. LBs are also underwhelming but I'd take a look at Beason. He was traded for basically peanuts but was pretty damn good at one point in time. He could possibly come cheap but I don't know if he'd even be worth it at this point in his career.
That would really only leave DRC. He's a great man-to-man cover guy so he'd fit well in our offense. Plus he's got a ton of speed, something we've lacked at the CB position for as long as I've been a fan.
TL;DR: Re-sign Schwartz and take a look at Asamoah, Veldheer and Oher for depth/possible starting T options if they're cheap.
Pick up Emmanuel Sanders and DRC while making a play on Brandon Pettigrew and Jon Beason if they're asking for reasonable salaries.

Yes to Schwartz. Veldheer will probably re-sign with Oakland....they're going to have a shit ton of cap space to work with. Don't really see Oher leaving Baltimore or DRC leaving Denver.
