I would expect Flowers, Carr and Bowe will all have new deals before the end of the year.

DJ was the only in-season deal we made in 2010.
Charles was the only in-season deal we made in 2011.
These are difficult deals to make -- typically these deals get made in the 11th hour. To make a big deal with no deadline during the season? Very difficult to get the player to the table enough to land the deal.
I think we'll see ONE BIG DEAL during the season, my guess would be Flowers. But chances are, we're not going to be able to get everybody locked up by the time free agency arrives.
Keep in mind this team desperately needs to keep Gilberry, too.
