Nigel Clough also admitted interested in Blackpool's out of contract defender Alex Baptiste but dismissed interest in Motherwell's Jamaican international winger Chris Humphrey. Birmingham City winger Chris Burke, Burnley goalkeeper Lee Grant and Norwich City striker James Vaughan, the latter two who had previously played for the Rams, were also speculated as possible transfer targets.
Ahead of Derby's final League game of the previous season it was announced that veteran Welsh defender Gareth Roberts would be released in the summer after the expiration of his contract. Grant became the first signing of the summer, rejoining Derby on a three-year contract six years after he was released. Nigel Clough stated that Grant was signed as the new first choice goalkeeper, with Saul Deeney and Mats Mørch being second and third choice respectively, with Mørch set to feature for the under-21 side. Frank Fielding and Adam Legzdins were made available for transfer, whilst Ross Atkins was reported to be joining fellow Derbyshire outfit Alfreton Town on loan. Defenders Tom Naylor and James O'Connor, midfielder James Bailey and strikers Theo Robinson and Nathan Tyson were made available for transfer. Former loan player Chris Martin joined the club on a free transfer from Norwich City on a two-year contract. Midfielder Ben Davies extended his contract by a year. Contract talks were also underway with midfielder Craig Bryson, however Clough had fears that right-back John Brayford would join a Premier League club.
Towards the end of May, Derby released their retained list where Roberts' departure was confirmed, but Ross Atkins, Saul Deeney, Conor Doyle and Michael Hoganson were all give new one-year deals, with Atkins and Doyle being made available for loan.
