    I would try to keep Perry and Jones and Guion if he's cheap, but wouldn't break the bank on any of them. Otherwise, I agree.

    But I think Kuhn will last one more year.

    Guion could be cheap enough that they might as well bring him back even if they manage to sign Raji.

    I have always liked James Jones for his attitude and hard work. I just don't see a spot for him next year, unless they are hit hard by injuries again. There isn't much reason to bring an older guy like him into camp if the "six" are all healthy and ready to go.

    Kuhn almost certainly will be a minimum wage guy, and could be back unless they need the roster spot.

    James Jones, I don't know about. He's not a special teams guy, and he's not an ascending player. Assuming Jordy, Cobb, Adams, Monty are all locks, then you have two remaining spots and you'd have to figure Janis and Abby will fill those spots because they can both play special teams. Also, they may draft another WR and bring in a few UDFA's like they did last year, and those guys would be competing for the 5th and 6th WR spots. I don't think Jones will have a place on the roster, more so about roster flexibility and youth/development and not cap concern.

    Whoops. My mistake. Didn't read the article and off-the-cuff assumed Datone Jones.

    James Jones is gone. No room on the roster but tons of appreciation.
