There are always those players that a lot of fans haven't realized have gotten washed and are therefore shocked when they are traded/released, or players that simply aren't worth the cap hit. So which are those players for your favorite team?

I don't think theres a Rams answer for this

Gabe Davis/Micah Hyde/tredavious white

Tony Pollard. Rico Dowdle is gonna be given the rock next year with a rookie being factored in.

Justin Fields.

Harrison smith

[–] democratichoax@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Either Kirk Cousins or Josh Dobbs will not return next year. That’s not super surprising but I bet Twitter will react like it is when the cut gets made.

[–] Deaftoned@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We likely won't have the money to pay EJ Epenesa after this year since his rookie contract is up, whoever gets him will be getting a stud

Harrison smith (because he will retire after winning the Super Bowl).

Xavien Howard is probably not going to be a Dolphin next season

Which makes me sad

Chris Jones.

For so many people they just assume that he's a Chief for life, and he has certainly said that he wants that, but his tag number next year almost guarantees that he's going to get to free agency if we don't get a new contract done ahead of time.

[–] Kdot32@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We will take him in Houston

[–] fitzuha@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Eddie Jackson seems like the most likely candidate.

Sam Darnold.

We seriously might have to let him walk.

[–] Netwealth5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Obviously it’s wait and see but I doubt D’Andre Swift is an Eagle next year if it’s not on super favorable terms for the Eagles. I think most people know Jason Kelce is likely done

Niners might have to choose between Chase Young and Aiyuk unless they go full all-in mode.

[–] SoKrat3s@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You guys need to stop this Aiyuk free agent nonsense.

The first year of a potential Aiyuk extension will take place the year after Deebo's contract expires. They will be able to keep Aiyuk and let Defbo walk.

Maybe Lockett. He's due to make $27M next season and while his play hasn't necessarily dropped off, he has talked about not wanting to play until he's old and also got his real estate license last year. The FO cut Wagner in 2022 which makes me think he isn't safe considering we'll have lots of holes to fill.

As it sits he also would have the 8th highest cap hit among receivers next season and while I love the guy, I don't know that he's worth it at that price.

This is a controversial one but I think there's a solid chance that with all the people we need to extend next year, Deebo ends up somewhere else. For a lot of people I think that's borderline sacrilegious but if Purdy continues to develop as a passer I think Kyle's likely going to be moving away from the wideback concept that's defined the past 4 years of Niners football.

Idk if other people are aware that Ronnie Stanley has been struggling so badly this year. I don’t know what the cap situation is but if it’s feasible I wouldn’t be shocked to see him gone. Otherwise, most aren’t really guys who aren’t worth what they’re paid, we just can’t afford to pay them (Madubuike, Queen).

[–] Level_Dreaded@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If I had to guess probably George Fant. He's played very well, starting at RT for a good portion of the season. But that's because we lost all of our LGs for the season due to injury. So our original RT tytus howard has been playing at LG.

We have both our tackles signed for the next 3 years, and with how desperate the league is for competent OL play, Fant has probably played himself into starter money somewhere else on the market.

Non-Eagles fans might find it hard to believe but Julio Jones probably won't be here next season

Gabe Davis, I personally can’t wait. He’s such a limited player and his biggest upside is blocking which is totally what you look for in a #2 WR. Plus he thinks he deserves wider receiver one money so hard pass for me

Danielle Hunter. He’s putting up a “give me the bag” type year and has a no-tag clause. He’ll take the opportunity to test FA for sure.

[–] blazesupernova@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I would cream if the falcons got him - god knows we've needed someone who can get to the QB forever, but I suspect he's going to want a contender to come for him and I suspect they will.

I'm thinking Chidobe Awuzie or Tyler Boyd. No one's really going to be surprised if Tee or Jonah Williams are gone. But Awuzie's had injury issues and I'm thinking he'll get replaced by DJ Turner. And it feels like we're loading up on rookie WRs to offset a Tee tag and Chase's eventual payday.

I think there's still a chance we keep Boyd on a cheap contract, but that's not a particularly confident thought.

[–] YiMyonSin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not so much a surprise but Derrick Henry. Dude simply doesn’t have the same elusiveness, quickness and vision that he used to. I stand behind the decision to keep him past the trade deadline to help Levis develop, but I get the sense that Levis and the Titans as a whole will be just fine once he’s gone.

Also, I can’t wait to hear social media act like the Titans have no idea what they’re doing once Andre Dillard is released. Sure, he was one of the hottest names in offensive line free agency, but now he’s probably the worst tackle in the NFL, and we have Jaelyn Duncan to evaluate for this week’s game against Carolina following a good performance in Jacksonville not to mention a possible top 5 pick for Fashanu or Joe Alt.

Justin Fields

[–] michaelb421@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Michael Pittman. A lot fans love him but the WR market is very inflated. Downs have shown flashes and the colts are cheap and don’t use the tag.

Deebo could be gone next year or the year after when we have to pay Aiyuk and Purdy

Both Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer are probably gone.

They've both looked old at times this year, but Poyer has more left in the tank and had made a ton more plays than Hyde so I could see them doing a another team friendly one year deal with him.

I won't dare speak it, but I have a sick feeling us Bengals fans could be in for a shock next season.

Travis Kelce. He could very well hang it up. I’m thinking he’ll try to make it through his contract, but he is thinking about all the pain he’s been in lately

[–] Lenny_III@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Christian Wilkins.

He’s a very good player and an amazing culture guy. A role model on par with JJ Watt. (If you haven’t seen JJ’s highlights from Hard Knocks you should. His work ethic is ridiculous)

Unfortunately it seems like he wants to reset the DT market and we’ve got too many young guys we gotta pay to be able to do that.

Mack or Bosa, and Williams or Allen. On the Buccs it's probably Evans.

Greg Newsome. MJ and Denzel are the outside corners for years to come and I think the org does right but Greg and allows him to go somewhere he can start on the outside and get that big pay day when the time comes.
