Keepers (Of course, the bottom line is $$$$$$$$$$$)

Tramon Williams - I would not offer more than 5-6 million a year.  Age is a factor!
At 31 a NFL cornerback is considered old, in fact, probably any position except QB!  Has had a great career with the Pack, but it all comes down to money.

Bryan Bulaga - At age 25, Bulaga is in his prime!  Is he over the injury bug that has plagued his career?
would try to sign him, and keep the lid on. Sitton is around 7-8 million, I would not go above that for Bulaga.

John Kuhn - Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhn.  I think, and I'm biased, he is worth keeping around if healthy!  All-pro FB, a leader, protector for Rogers, and a local favorite - 1 year around 1 million.

Randall Cobb - a must, but cannot break the bank.  Had a great year.  Is very versatile playing special teams & lining up in the back field!  When Aaron scrambles, he gets open!  Nelson is around 11 million, Cobb should be around 7-9 million.

Letroy Guion - a slow start, but finished strong!  Seems to be a good locker room fit and helped the Pack figure out the run defense!  Try ti stay in the one million range.

Davon House - a great Special Teams guy and maybe replace Williams at corner if we do not sign him.  Would come at a cheaper cost & at least deserves the shot!

Scott Tolzien - time to move on from Flynn & draft a young QB?

DuJuan Harris - since the Pack never gave him a chance, this may be a cut.  But, I still think he has something to offer.

Don Barclay - need offensive linemen!  And he knows the system.  Sign him.

Chris Banjo - another special teams guy & played some at the end of the year!

Leave them go……

BJ Raji, Jarrett Bush, Jamari Lattimore, Matt Flynn, Sean Richardson, & Jarrett Boykin
