With all these teams losing players just to get signed by other teams who are letting go of thier own players to save money, either the players are gonna have to settle or the nfl needs to raise the cap I think both needs to happen

Mac Jones is long gone next year.
Theres a good chance Bosa could be gone. Mike Will is also almost certainly gone and a good chance Ekeler leaves too.
Most fans heard about the Evans situation in the off-season, so that's probably not too surprising, but Lavonte Davids contract is also expiring at the end of the season. I am not at all ready for both of these guys to not be Bucs anymore - they are both still very productive and has been the identity of the Bucs for the past decade+ on their respective sides of the ball. They were shining bright spots during the shit years and it was so glorious to see them finally get rewarded with a ring.

For Denver, it's multiple options, and they are decently obvious. UFA's: Josey Jewell is the big one. Been a captain of our defense for a couple years now but we need to get younger amd faster. Cushenberry as well. Couple years ago was a hated Bronco for his less than stellar play. Now he's a decent center but not one we will throw 8+ million at.
Trades: Justin Simmons,Courtland Sutton, and Garrett Bolles are the big three. They are beloved by the fan base. Simmons is 30 and we would like to see him be on a contender to play for a ring if he won't be here. Sutton is good but not 15 million a year for two years good. Finally, Bolles is our best o lineman but if we keep him we will have three o lineman being paid 15 million+ each (Bolles, Powers, McGlinchey).
Cap Cut: Tim Patrick is here because he has had two major injuries in as many seasons and is owed over 10 million next year. I don't see him lasting through the off-season as a Denver Bronco even though when he is on the field he had the surest hands of the bunch.
Thank you 5 years 250 million.
Not because he’s washed at all, but Tyler Lockett has expressed recently that he didn’t even really want to play until 30, and has no desire to go until 40. Add on top of that his real estate business is doing real well and we just got both JSN and Bobo No idea if that actually means he’d retire soon, but it wouldn’t shock me too much if he said he was ready to hang it up in the next two years
Everyone knows that Bill likes to move on from big money stars, and both Kyle Duggar and Mike Onwenu will be getting pretty big paydays. I think with the rebuild, and how Onwenu has been playing at right tackle (top 3) he has to be re-signed to help any rookie qb we may get.
I could completely see Duggar walking with the emergence of Peppers and the drafting of Mapu. I also bet Josh Uche is gone. Adrian Phillips seems about done, he has barely played any snaps this year after leading the team in tackles 2 years ago. Trent Brown is probably gone too. No idea if weplan on riding it out with Mac for another year or go after a qb now, but he could be gone. That isn't exactly a secret though.
Our answer just got cut, Shaq Leonard
Either Jerry Jeudy or Courtland Sutton, both have been waiting around too long for the Broncos to be good again and wouldn't be surprised if either leaves for a ring
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.
Bryce Huff. A+ guy, but with the performances he's putting up this year, he'll be expensive to keep. With the depth we have at his position and the needs in our offense (who would have guessed?), there is a chance the Jets will be seeking ways to trade him away.
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.
Not one team and they both have been mentioned separately, but just to emphathize:
I think both Travis and Jason Kelce will retire at the end of the season.
Dawson Knox
Michael Thomas
Gabe Davis, Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde, maybe Von Miller with a post 6/1.
Bills will do a major reset on defense like the chiefs did. They’re too old now (and injuries are wild rn)
Derrick Henry, although I don’t think anyone is surprised😂
From “till the wheels fall off” to “seriously considering retirement”, I have a feeling that Travis Kelce won’t be playing for the Chiefs next season. He’s been moving like someone who’s 5’6”, not 6’5” for his whole career and that’s probably been taking a toll on his knees. Also, the fact that he refuses to mention what’s hurting because teams can use it against him alludes that it might be of concern. Just hope he can end it on a ring
Jeudy, Sutton, Patrick. At least one of those guys. Wish they all could have stayed healthy long enough to play together under Russ. Poor Tim Patrick
Are you kidding me? Have you seen the games? Everyone is washed. Except for TJ and Hurts and Tyreek and Kelce and Taylor.
Josh Allen, kind of washed. Mahomes, washed. Herbert, washed. Manning Cast, washed. Brady, washed and retired. Belichick, super stoned washed and pretired. Daboll, washed. Daniel Jones washed. Jets, washed. Russell Wilson, better but still.. washed. Niners, gonna lose in the playoffs so washed. Cowboys, pre stoned washed. Ravens gonna get injured still, washed. Vikings, very exciting, still washed. Commanders owner, very exciting, a real joyous event, already washed along with Ron Rivera, washed. Al Michaels, stoned washed and pretired.
Bryce Huff has been incredible this year and I don't think the jets will pay the money to keep him.
The DL is pretty deep and it's pretty obvious they drafted will McDonald to replace him.
I don't think they expected him to be this good this year but with money tied up on Rodgers, Quinnen, knowing deals are coming for Garret Wilson and Sauce, PLUS all the work they need to do at WR and OL...I don't think they can afford him.
