--RB Aveion Cason helped boost the Lions' return game, but not enough, and wasn't a factor in running game.

--DT Shaun Cody didn't live up to expectations as a second-round pick and hasn't heard from the Lions.

--WR Keary Colbert joined the Lions late and didn't make an impact.

--T Damion Cook played a backup role along the line. If he returns, it will be for depth.

--T George Foster struggled after being traded from Denver and lost right tackle job to 2008 first-rounder Gosder Cherilus. Unlikely to return.

--RB Rudi Johnson did not regain his Pro Bowl form in Detroit. Unlikely to return.

--LB Paris Lenon was a smart, hard-working veteran but didn't make enough plays in the middle. Unlikely to return.

--OL Andy McCollum filled in at center while Dominic Raiola was injured in 2008 and Lions ran the ball well. Still unlikely to return.

--WR Shaun McDonald didn't produce the same way after Mike Martz left.

--DT Langston Moore was a solid role player, but the Lions cut him once and have young defensive tackles.

--LB Ryan Nece was signed because of his experience in the Tampa Two, and the Lions are ditching the Tampa Two. Unlikely to return.

--FB Moran Norris signed during the season and made an impact as a lead blocker. Lions want him back.

--QB Dan Orlovsky didn't make mistakes as a starter, but didn't make enough plays, either. Unlikely to return.

--TE John Owens was a solid blocker but didn't make an impact as a receiver.

--DE Corey Smith was a good role player on defense and a playmaker on special teams. Could be back.

--CB Stanley Wilson never developed and spent 2008 on injured reserve. Unlikely to return.
