I do think it's worth speculating forwards to see how the roster will develop in the future, but it's silly to worry about expiring FA for the same reason that it's silly to make too much of "upcoming cap room" like people did last off-season. The biggest expense is not even on that list, and it's going to be the Jamal Adams extension.
Good franchises pay the few players who are difference makers and worth it, and let the rest walk in exchange for compensatory picks. The bulk of the roster is then made up of players on rookie deals or minimum veteran contracts.
The only thing to get too concerned about is overpaying a bunch of mediocre players. In that vein, the thing to be concerned about on your list in 2021 is that we might overpay Carson or Griffin. I don't see that happening, but whether you or do or not it's premature to talk about disasters.
