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?
Sam Darnold.
We seriously might have to let him walk.
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.
Yup. Hunter is a fucking beast and also rarely spoken about in the media as one of the best defensive players this year. I honestly think he stays with the Vikings but I won’t be mad if he tries to get one more massive bag before he’s done
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.
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).
Non-Eagles fans might find it hard to believe but Julio Jones probably won’t be here next season
Rashaad Penny also could be a shocking cut considering how important he’s been this year.
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.
Andre Dillard was basically a bust the moment the Eagles drafted him. He was a reach and has never developed.
Justin Fields
Deebo could be gone next year or the year after when we have to pay Aiyuk and Purdy
Philip Rivers
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.
Probably Derrick Henry :(
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.
Harrison smith
Gabe Davis. He’s as aggravating in real life as he is in fantasy
This is gonna be a tough one to swallow but… Carson Wentz. In all reality I’d love to keep him as a back up but I doubt he’d stay for the vet minimum.
