One or the other until you draft and develop someone: Weigman/Niswanger (preferably Weigman), and Edwards/Smith (preferably Smith).

Yeah, I could go with this one...

From the unrestricted list, pretty much...

Smith is a really good role player. He cares about playing and winning.

Agreed, i love his vocal passion & he's been something of a pleasant surprise to me at DE, he's a big reason why our run D improved to where it did IMO, he holds his ground at the POA & sheds blocks well.

Every team needs a good Hype Man.

Absolutely, that many sacks off the bench says a lot about his effort. His size is oddball for a 3-4 end, but he makes it work somehow.

How could they let Hali become a F A?

Some team will offer him a big contract.

If this team lets Hali go I will lose a lot of faith in Pioli. I'd be shocked if that happened.

Like when they gave away Jared Allen and Tony G??

Gave away Allen?

Hardly.

I'd make that deal again.

This is pretty much my list. Others if they sign reasonable deals. If we have a season hopefully some of the other signees get knocked out by new pickups / draft choices.

OT Richardson

FB Castille
FB Cox
RB Battle
TE Cottam
CB Leggett

That's a guess and comes to 25. Maybe TE Pope is an UFA too i don't know.

Have to wait for Looney at kcchiefs.com to come out with an official list.

Charles, DJ, Studebaker all got extensions but so did LS Thomas Gafford and his didn't get much press. Could be others not announced but hard to tell.

This is all a guessing game as to who does or doesn't fall under restricted and the frachise and transistion tags because of the CBA.

I'd give Leggett and Cottam a shot at a roster spot because they've shown flashes of ability in between their injuries. They are significantly better than any of our backups at those positions.

Shitcan Vrabel, Anderson, Copper, Wiegmann, Mays, O'Callaghan, Niswanger, Urban, Simoneau, Curtis, Castille and Cox

OLB Hali
NT Smith
DE Gilberry
CB Carr

These guys should be absolute priorities going forward. After that, lock up Flowers long term.

Everyone else on that list should be considered no more than quality depth.
