Hughes would be gone already if edge rusher wasn't such a highly prized position in the NFL. He does seem to be doing better this year. Maybe he's maturing.
Tyrod, Glenn, Shady, Clay...our highest paid players are in their crosshairs. They said they highlight those players and at the end of the year they will analyze whether or not they fit what they want to do going forward. I think they would like to move on from Tyrod and Shady and get younger cheaper players in the draft. Clay is not a stereotypical TE. Doesn't have the size to be a good blocker. Plus he's what, the 5th highest paid TE in the league? That one seems like a no brainer. And Glenn has been on the trading block all season but apparently they are asking too much. Maybe they lower their demand after the season.
As for older players, Lorenzo and Kyle Williams are on their way out. Lorenzo has shown he can't cover people and will be abused now that the tape is out there. He's a good leader and special teams player still however. I think he makes the team next year but not as a starter. I think either this year or next will be Kyle's last. He's been getting super emotional in his speeches so it makes me wonder if this is his last hurrah.
Other players that just aren't good enough are Preston Brown, Jordan Mills, and John Miller. Easily replaced. Also the entire WR position will be a high priority.
So in conclusion, it's a good thing we have a lot of picks in the next 2 drafts!!
