Warford had one good season and two, injury plagued; So So seasons. Would like to see another year out of all of them before handing out extensions. BQ at least has a nice, young core to work with and all the dead money of Suh and CJ coming off the books. If he can nail the draft this year. He could set up a lot of good years for Lions fans.
If we wait and he has another great season his price goes through the roof(also he becomes an URFA) and we likely can't afford him especially with all the other players that are in there final year if we wait hes likely gone and the Lions are looking for a guard yet again. Signing players after down years is the best time to get a great price.

Warlord is damaged goods. Let him walk. BQ can replace him with a number of guys either via FA or the draft. Problem us Lions fans have is were so used to losing, we get an 11 win season and think "OMG, we gotta keep all these guys!" There are better guys out there then we have. Way better.
Anshan and Slay are the only two we really must keep. The rest can test reality in FA.
Possible notable cuts/retirement
Tulloch 6 million in savings
CJ Wilson 2.3 million in savings(Drawing a blank on this guy not really sure who he is)
Pettigrew 2.65 million in savings
Calvin Johnson 11 million in savings
That Wilson guy is the DT/DE who I get mixed up with the Wilson that played CB. He played decent in late season action. Not enough to warrant that much money IMO. I have cut this kid ten times in my head thinking he was the CB.

and you talk about Old Lion and me being cheap-skates.....
you're on extremely thin Ice.
you're a mixed bag of Herbert Clark Hoover and FDR on this one, imo.
I'd take DT CJ Wilson all day long at 2.3M versus bringing back Ngata at any price.
The Lions have two young kids making that are already rotational kids
He made $1 mill last year and I don't see his body of work warranting that big a raise.
Gabe Wright has no business even being considered as a rotational guy, imo. Also, my opinion is that DT Wilson will be much more than just a rotational guy. I'm wrong more than 70% of the time though.
