The only part I don't love there is, if Rudolph is somehow decent, he will be a free agent and I can't stomach the thought of seeing him have one solid season and then putting $18-25M per year on him long-term.
If we are wishing, I'd like to see them resign JuJu for like $8-10M per year for 4 or 5 years (he's still only 25) and having him, Friermuth, Claypool, and Johnson (and I like Gentry, too) is a pretty solid group. I'd also like to see Haden back if he'd do something like $10-12M for two years. Cut Tuitt and Schoebert and resign some of the depth DBs (Witherspoon, Maulet, Killebrew, and Allen) if they are able to without overpaying. I'd like to see them keep Edmunds if he doesn't get a major raise elsewhere, but I have a feeling someone will overpay him.

WR/RB/TE-
They have to re-up Johnson probably which I don't have a problem with. I kind of hope they trade Claypool as he seems like a giant turd. James Washington is going to go elsewhere and maybe look good. Not sure why we couldn't get more out of him. I hope Juju comes back as well. I like the tight ends a lot. Can we please get a competent back to spot Najee before he dies in 2 years?
Defense-gotta chuck Tuitt and Schoebert for sure. Devin Bush hasn't done enough to warrant picking up that 5th year option. I think they'll need to go ILB early in this draft. Like Haden, but at a bit less than you do. Maybe they can do 5 years and void out the last 3 or something to keep his hits low. JJ Watt seems like an obvious add if he's released. 1-2 years, maybe he stays healthy(doubtful).
QB-At least lets kick the tires on Mariotta, Winston, Trubiski. They're all probably garbage but Rudolph/Haskins aren't exactly Montana/Young. Also, I sure hope if they think Rudolph is better than whatever is available, they extend him for at least another year. Let's not get into some dumb Prescott/Cousins/Flacco franchise mode.
