When regimes change, so do rosters. Teams with stable management and coaching still regularly see 30% annual roster turnover.

We've cycled through our share of guys over the past few years and a number of those guys are still in the league, or at least trying to be.

If we had them all back (at no cost whatsoever) how many of our ex-guys could make the current team?

Who are those guys?

Based just on their ability?

Or are you bringing personality into the equation as well

Ability, assuming a totally different and neutral regime

In talent alone

Obj
Vernon
Snacks
Jpp (pre car accident)
Apple (until proven otherwise)
Collins

Borderline:
Kenard
DRC
Webb (as a 3rd QB)

This also ignores injury potential

Romeo Okwara

You have to take into accout the scheme

Some of the above are good enough talent wise but Joseph, Okwara, Vernon, Snacks and JPP are all probably better suited to a 4-3. I don't see Apple or DRC as being good enough to make this roster.

Joseph and Black Unicorn

Was overrated IMO. Good player to have at reasonable cost but his costs was way too high.

Fail - this list completely ignores guys gone because of contracts.

Considering contracts and QPR, everyone among your top 6 is still GONE except Apple. And he's gone on a dearth of quality play along with (fu) attitude.

Webb..

couldn't even make last year's team, and I doubt it was because he was a Reese leftover.

He was just not a very good QB.

He's unlikely to ever throw a pass as a starting QB in this league yet periodically we get posts/threads talking about him.

Linval Joseph.

I know, Im one of those guys who loves Linval...

But he didn't get a ton of money to go to Minnesota. And we've spent two second round picks replacing him so far. Picks that could have been used elsewhere to build this team.
