Strong candidates for release

1) Case Keenum, QB, Denver Broncos

2) Blake Bortles, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars

3) Malik Jackson, DT, Jacksonville Jaguars

4-5) CB Jimmy Smith and WR Michael Crabtree, Baltimore Ravens

6) Ryan Tannehill, QB, Miami Dolphins

7-10) WR DeVante Parker, DE Robert Quinn, WR Danny Amendola and DE Andre Branch, Miami Dolphins

11) Donald Penn, OT, Oakland Raiders

12) Bud Dupree, LB, Pittsburgh Steelers

13) Charles Clay, TE, Buffalo Bills: Clay was a splashy free-agent signing by former GM Doug Whaley. He was a healthy scratch late last season, usually the final sign a player is on his way out.

Potential surprises

...

3) Marcell Dareus, DT, Jacksonville Jaguars: Dareus is ultimately a valuable run-stopping specialist who is paid like a superstar.


...

 

I agree with the sentiment that Charles Clay is likely cut, especially since he was not active late in the season. I'm looking forward to getting a bigger, better TE hopefully this off-season or next. Really interesting to see Marcell Dareus listed as a potential surprise cut. I think this shows that Dareus has never lived up to the bloated contract he received in Buffalo and ultimately was not worth it for the Jaguars either.
 

Are any of these players worth bringing in if they are cut?

I like Bud Dupree. He's like a poor mans Josh Allen, and could be an eventual replacement for Lorax as a guy who can play off the ball and play as an edge guy. 

 

Devante Parker is relatively interesting, and perhaps Malik Jackson if you can't find a better defensive tackle in free agency or the draft.

Also interested in Bud Dupree. He's 26 years old and has a knack for making plays. It would mitigate the need for an EDGE in the draft and open the door for an OL or perhaps a DK Metcalf. I'm starting to get the feeling Metcalf is exactly the kind of talent Beane likes to draft high.

I wouldn’t mind Devante Parker at the right price... really don’t understand what happened with him.

 

I think he's been up and down but his numbers have been okay. He did not get along with Gase, but Gase is also a huge douche.

What is wrong with Malik Jackson? I remember him being good- i would like the version of him i remember.

 

He got a fat Super Bowl champion contract but failed to bring Von Miller along with him to Jax.

I put that in the positives column when assessing players.

The Jags are about to enter a huge cap mess. He is the first of many that will need to be cut over the next few years

These are the same guys that stood out to me.
