Here the list of commanders UFA, who should we keep?

I’ve enjoyed my #5 Tress Way jersey for almost a decade and I’m not ready to shop again
I’m honestly struggling to want any of these guys back but Mariotta & Tress Way. And as much as it pains me even Tress wasn’t great stats-wise I just can’t imagine him not being a Commander
We should bring back Way, Wylie for OL depth, Wise for DLine depth (and cause he was a dog before his injury ) , and possibly Deebo if we dont have to overspend on him , id let all of the others go
Edit: Bring back Mariota too
Keep Way and Mariota the rest don’t fit into the commanders long term plans
Tress should be a lock. One of the best punter in the league
Von Miller I think did say he wanted to stay and if he’s willing to take a slight pay cut why not
Bobby Wagner has been a locker room presence and he’s a good vet to have to lead a defense thats only gonna get younger (hopefully)
Marcus has been a serviceable backup but there are others out there
I like Deebo but im afraid he’ll be costly to resign.
I don’t care or don’t know enough about the rest to pronounce myself.
Pay deebo less
Bring trey and Von back , bobby but need othwr LB
Marcus will likely get a QB1 shot
Fucking resign Way immediately
I’m bringing back, way, Deebo, mariota and Martin.
Everyone else can take a hike lol. I’d love Ekeler and ertz and Wagner back, but, nah.
Everyone’s like 85 years old on this team
We have to get younger and there’s not one dude on this list who’s in their 20s. I firmly believe that had we stayed healthy, Deebo was in for a really big season opposite Terry. I saw the vision, but now with a new OC and a push for youth, even on the team friendliest of deals, relying on 2 30+ year old receivers ain’t it. Any money you’d commit to Deebo should be aimed at an Alec Pierce contract.
Ertz, Ek, and Bobby are hopefully retirees. Those guys were dogs for us in 2024, but they’re dinosaurs now. Time to move on.
I’m torn on Mariota. On one hand, it’s probably best to have a quality backup given Jayden’s propensity for missing games. IMHO, the ideal backup QB in the NFL is a guy who can come in for max 4 games and keep you at least 2-2. On the other hand, while Mariota is capable of steadying a ship, he is also creeping towards the end of his career. With Jayden being the future, I’m of the opinion that we should use late draft capital (hopefully from us moving back a few spots elsewhere) to invest in a career backup. Would be fine if Mariota left.
I’ll say the quiet part aloud but Tress also didn’t have a phenomenal season (and is a lone Pro Bowler nonetheless in the season from hell). The difference in cap hit between him and replacement punter is $500k-$1M so I really don’t care what happens there.
Only guy here I’d offer a contract too—and it’d be incredibly cheap due to role and return from injury—is Wise. Dude has great size and was looking real solid next to Kinlaw.
I wouldn’t prioritize our own guys and I think AP makes it a point to go younger this offseason. I think we’ll be spenders just not in the re-sign game.
I’d keep Tress, Wise and Martin and probably Marcus for now.
If at minimum, short term deals:
Wise, if he is healthy as a fill in starter/depth
Way, not seeing upgrade there
Martin, balled out and good depth
Wylie, ol depth
Ekeler, only if absolutely have to due to no other pass catch threat out of back. Has to be minimum, 1 year deal if healthy
———–
Pass on: Mariota, Wagner, Ertz, Miller, Brown
Deebo, 50/50 depends on money
Other than Way and maybe wise they can all get the fuck out
Obviously bring back Way and mariota. Von if hes willing to take a pay cut. And I dont see the hate for Bobby he had 2 ints and 90+ tackles.
We shouldn’t aim to keep any of them besides maybe Way and Mariota. We need to get younger.
ETA – Bring back Martin as well.
I’d really like to re sign Ekeler. His ability to make plays off dump offs was deeply missed last year.
Tress Way. Dassit
Mariota and Way are the only ones I 100% want to see. Wouldn’t be upset with Wagner for another year, and I don’t know enough about Wylie, Wise, or Martin to comment on them tbh.
The QB draft class is overall bad. Unless Mariota is happy being a back up, Im expecting he will go for a legit chance to start on many teams.
