The club would like to re-sign starting center Bill Conaty (UFA). However, there is no guarantee that LB Sam Cowart will be back. With Cowart poised to draw a lot of attention on the open market, the club will protect its linebacking corps by re-signing RFA Keith Newman. Cowart, who has missed 19 games over the past two seasons, could be replaced by another free agent like Pittsburgh’s Earl Holmes.
