Maxwell is almost certainly a goner. The team has two young players in Lippett and Tankersley ready to replace him.
I know the front office loves Pouncey, but that's too much to pay for someone with his career injury rate. Not a huge fan of James, but I think if Pouncey goes the team will hold onto James. That would be too many changes on an offensive line that still isn't complete to begin with.
The thing with Pouncey is that you don't replace his talent very often in free agency, so that would likely have to be a high draft pick. Miami isn't set there with a quality backup plan.
Thomas is interesting, but certainly someone who was very unimpressive in preseason. If he plays well, Miami may keep him. Long-term, you just know Gase would love to find a young, playmaker at tight end.
