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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      Feel like I haven’t heard his name enough. This year it’s all about Myles Garrett, but Hunter is only 1 sack behind him. He’s nuts, and without a huge QB contract I’m not sure why you guys couldn’t pay him.

      Its amazing how much better some players play in that contract year. I remember for years and years after we drafted Bud Dupree he was underwhelming. but as soon as his contract year hit, he decides to step up his production big time and become the player we were hoping he’d be, and unaffordable. Then after he gets paid by the Titans he immediately resumes his normal level of play.

      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

      I thought he was leaving, but with the current state of the team I think he stays & I think the team can afford it especially if they go cheap + a rookie at QB.

    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.

      Pittman is getting his money. You don’t let your WR1 walk when you have a rookie QB whose contract is cheap. Honestly, I’d expect the Colts to be big spenders this off-season since they moved on from Shaq Leonard. I hope Pittman and Julian Blackmon both get paid.

      Grover Stewart and Kenny Moore are far more likely to walk unless they take team-friendly deals. Isaiah McKenzie is almost guaranteed to be gone. Minshew is 50/50, he may try to get money elsewhere. Zach Moss is gone. Gonna get his bag somewhere, I hear Carolina needs an RB1?

    Some team is going to make Tee Higgins their WR1 and I’m sad but get it. I’m just hoping he gets a few more dimes for us this 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
