I think we need to draft so that we have replacements for all of our highest players, but that doesn't mean we have to lose them all. Letting two of them go will probably free up enough cap space to resign a couple of the others. Unless Bowe has a career year, he will probably be let go in 2015. Unless Berry is willing to restructure at a lower salary, he will probably be gone after this season. Those two moves, along with some smaller moves and the annual increase in the cap will be enough to retain Houston and get 2 or 3 more years from Alex.
As for the others--Hali, Flowers, Charles, Poe, etc. release whoever has the best back-ups in place and you have more money to resign whoever we keep.
So plan on losing them all, but for every player you release, you have that much more money to resign a player you want to keep. We were very fortunate to lose Albert and McCluster and have it not really hurt us. Some of the others won't be that easy to replace. It will come down to who and how well Dorsy drafts.
