    We're half way through the season, and we're starting to get a good idea of who is contributing to the team and who isn't, especially as it pertains to free agents. And wouldn't you know, some of our best performers are free agents at the end of the season. Making it even murkier is the fact that some will be coming off of just a single productive year. Who would you keep?

    Tashaun Gipson
    Craig Robertson
    Robert Housler
    Mitchell Schwartz
    Johnson Bademosi
    Gary Barnidge
    Travis Benjamin
    Scott Solomon
    Austin Pasztor
    Robert Turbin
    Tank Carder
    Jamie Meder
    Travis Coons
    Jayson Dimanche
    Alex Mack - we all know the story, he can opt out, we can opt out, after this year.
    There's a few I'd definitely want to keep, a few LOL NO candidates and a lot in between.

      Craig Robertson
      Probably keep him

      Doesn't matter - he's a decent depth guy but he could be easily replaced
      Gary Barnidge
      Yes, but he may be looking for a pretty big overpay
      Travis Benjamin
      Yes
      Scott Solomon
      Austin Pasztor (maybe, but who cares he's a back up scrub*)
      Robert Turbin
      Tank Carder
      Jamie Meder
      No
      Travis Coons
      Yes

          Chris... did you make up a couple of those names just to see if someone would want to keep them?

          Price matters... I see only 2 names I would consider giving sizeable contracts to... Gip and Mitch.

          With Gip's injury history the contract would have to be reasonably incentive heavy with correspondingly reduced guaranteed money. I believe you build D inside-out, so FS is a position in which I invest.

          With Mitch's injury history you guarantee a high percentage to keep the total price down. And there's another history to consider... improving every year he's been here.

          The rest are all a matter of price... even Benji, even Barn... but I give them a little priority along with Coons.

            I like Meder actually because he went to Valley Forge HS, talent wise I'm not so sure but he's from the area.
