Some thoughts:
I think bringing back Peat is the best option because of his position flexibility, his knowledge of the team, and money wise. He fills two positions and the team can try and figure out the Oline with the in house talent or via the draft. The only reason I don´t see him coming back is if the new OC doesnt think he fits.
Besides Chase Young, all the edge rushers left seem like rotational pieces.
DT is depleted, and the older players will probably look for a contender.
Slot corner is also thin. Given that the team has shown they can develop cbs, why not take on Kristian Fulton as a reclamation project?
Still some good role players in the WR market. Shenault is another do it all player that could benefit from playing in a Shanahan style offense and is only 26 years old.
