If we can sign 2 outa 3 of Trey Smith, Nick Bolton, or Justin Reid it would be an excellent offseason and I’d imagine our roster will look very similar next year.

I am not concerned about losing Reid or Bolton, and I think its best if they both walk.

The plan is already in place to replace Reid with Hicks, going into 2025 with Conner Hicks Cook is a good group I think who will all have time in the system, I'd only be adding depth here for next year.

I still think Bolton is a fine player, who is not worth paying what he will be worth in the open market. The D will be fine starting the year with Chenal and Tranquill, I'd be adding a rookie and a cheap vet but I am not worried about it.

It's the DL and the WR group where you have the most turnover. I assume some mix of the WRs are coming back (two of Hopkins, Juju, Hardman, Watson at least?) and then you can add some draft talent.

Similar for DL, I just assume Pennel and Nnadi will be back again on 1 year deals. This is probably where I would want the most improvement, both via vets and the draft.
