The longest serving guy in his role right now IIRC is Todd Button. He needs to be replaced.

I've been talking about this all summer. I'm stunned that a middling talent team like this is up against the cap. This team isn't close to being elite and now they are going to struggle to maintain what they have for good players going forward which means the small handful of quality players they have need to have near career seasons every year for this team to be competitive as there's no money available to bring in any more help via free agency.
