Jamaal Charles is also going to be a hot topic to restructure.
RFA's to keep:
West, Zombo, D. Harris, N. Williams and Sorenson for 600k/piece.
Top priority:
Howard
Berry
DJ
Those are the key players. This team runs on defense, and each of the 3 is an elite player at every level.
Next you look to keep one of Branch or Abdullah. We should be able to keep one for a decent low price. I prefer Branch. That puts us 4 deep at Safety, which is great depth.
Allen will likely leave IMO and get overpaid ala Geoff Schwartz. Offer him a smaller contract heavy in incentives. Nbd if he leaves.
This OL has grown substantially this season and having 4/5 starters returning playing their experienced position will make the OL start well next year instead of rebooting and waiting to gel.
Sean Smith is basically gone. Looking at the crazy contract Flowers got, Smith will get more, especially in a league that wants to have tall, long CB's like the Seattle model. Oh well.
Tamba is probably done, but if he comes back, it will be like this year.
I'd prefer to sign at least one veteran CB that is reliable with Peters being the only known going into next season.
After that you can find your starting LG, future #2 CB and depth at RT/WR/DL/TE, etc in the draft.

I say we retain Berry, DJ, and Hali on a fairly team friendly deals. Keep Howard and franchise Smith. It's a given most RFAs are retained. I predict we use the franchise tag on Smith.
