UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS
--LG Chris Liwienski was benched at the end of season. Decent backup, but certainly not worth big bucks.
--G Gene Mruczkowski was snatched from the Patriots; a backup without much value.
--OT Mike Rosenthal didn't play a down in 2007 due to shoulder injury.
--S Lance Schulters was signed at the end of season, but at 32 is way past prime.
--LB Donnie Spragan is going on 32 and doesn't add much to the defense.
--S Travares Tillman ended another year on injured reserve with a knee injury. Unlikely to return.
UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS (not tendered offers)
--RB Samkon Gado (not tendered as RFA) was signed because of a myriad of injuries. Little shot of returning.
