Good list - makes sense.
The reason Im even posting is to comment on Mercedes Lewis being in there. At 40 years old, he still has some use in the red zone where he doesnt have to run 40 yards, and he is a good blocker. But there is a reason beyond those few snaps that we kept him and lost Bates to develop, and that he is a captain, even as a third string player.
When Cole Kmet was asked who was the leader in the locker room, he said "Mercedes Lewis" - I dont know if his inspiration is strongly tied to his work ethic in weight room, but if it is as I suspect a mental thing - the long experience and character that inspires and leads guys, then I just want to put it out there that maybe we should hire him as a coach next year - maybe offensive quality control or something to start?
Then we could keep him and his leadership around for quite a while with no cap price (obviously).
