1. Who replaces Asante Samuel? It's never easy when a player who totaled 16 regular-season interceptions over the last two seasons departs.

Veteran free-agent signee Fernando Bryant looks like he'll have the first crack at the job, with Jason Webster, Lewis Sanders, Mike Richardson, Terrence Wheatley and Jonathan Wilhite also in the mix. Ellis Hobbs projects to start at the opposite corner.
