Upon another look, I think a question you’ll have to wrestle with in your scenario, if they don’t keep Taiwan Jones or DE Johnson, both whom have been praised as solid ST guys, are they really going to keep 11 DL, and only 6 LBs?
You know how much they love their special teams
In previous years, I’d say they’d be hanging onto developmental guys. Players that they took a chance on, or who they drafted and need time to groom.
Reality is now upon us, and it’s time to win. I think they’re going to opt to send the “not ready” type players packing and hang onto guys who they know can fill a specific role (special teams, 3rd down pass rush, extra WR).
They are in win now mode, IMO, and that means packing the 53 with guys who can play.
