There will be two interesting sets of developments to pay attention to this offseason.  The first is which seniors opt to return.  I would expect many of the guys on the two deep to explore returning, as most of them do not have NFL prospects today.  Those not on the two-deep may get "the talk," or opt to leave on their own.  Ditto guys who might be battling chronic injuries, who could opt to hang 'em up for that reason.

The second development will be fueled by the one-time ability to transfer and be immediately eligible.  There's always unexpected attrition every year for a variety of reasons, but the ability to leave and play right away introduces a new wild card factor into the dynamic.

Punchline: I don't think we can look at the roster and predict today what the # of returning players will be.  There are a lot of unprecedented circumstances underlying how things will shake out.  I expect that we as a fanbase will be pleasantly pleased by some decisions, and caught off-guard by others.
