Pretty sure X. Williams is signed through 2019.
If Devey wasn't done for the year after one start at C so we got to see more of him, I could maybe be okay with him starting, but it seems like a risk.
Darby has roughly the same PFF grade as Nelson this season (Nelson's overall grade is brought down by a poor tackling grade), I wouldn't want to pay $50m for that.
You also re-sign Scandrick in all of these, I think Scandrick is doing okay right now but he gets away with a lot of holds, his performance could really drop off a cliff I think, would not re-sign.
