Are any worth keeping?

[IndyNorm]

On Franklin - it sure seems like he's the biggest problem w/ the team culture, at least player wise. If this is correct then we really need to release him. Per OTC he'll count $9.5M in dead money which is ($2M) in pressure towards the cap, which isn't too terrible and will be worth it to get the locker room turned around.

On Speed - seems like he's possibly the 2nd biggest problem as he's in lock, stock w/ Franklin. The question is whether or not he's just going along w/ Franklin and his attitude will improve if we make an example of his leader, or if he'll continue to be a douche. If those in the know think it's the latter then just let him go. If it's the former then maybe re-sign him on the cheap, but don't just hand him a starting job. Have some real competition for this spot.

On Kelly - I can see both sides. The OL plays better with him, but he's hurt like half the time now. IMO if he's willing to take a decent pay cut and sign a 1-2 year deal then it's probably worth keeping him around.

On Fries - Agree that we should re-sign him as long as it doesn't look like his injury is going to be a long term issue. I made the comment earlier, but w/ his injury we could maybe sign him to a 1 year show it deal or 2 year reasonable contract.

Franklin posted this apology to the fans an hour ago. Call me cynical but it doesn’t convince me.

Looks like you beat me to it.

I just saw a sort of apology from Franklin on Facebook. Maybe he has learned a thing or two.
