Keepers
For me, the keepers on the list are Bradshaw, Boss, Grant, Kiwanuka and Smith. Cofield is pretty much out the door. Bulluck is gone, as well. Some of the other names on the list you can make an argument one way or the other. I think Blackburn might return, given the short window before games start, and it would be nice to keep Boothe for depth.
