Every offseason in the NFL presents a time of roster-purging due to injury Daniel Jones Jersey , ineffectiveness, or salary issues. This offseason will be no different, and it is time to take a look into who may be on the chopping block for one or all of those aforementioned reasons. Some of these players may be fan favorites who many believe to be untouchable, while others are starters that have had the game of football leave them behind forever. Recent examples include the New York Jets' house-cleaning extravaganza of 2017, when familiar faces such as Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, and David Harris were all released to free agency because the organization felt no need to keep these expensive, waning athletes on a rebuilding team. Other decisions, like the Chicago Bears' disposal of Victor Cruz, were predicated on the fact that despite a players' former accolades Ed Oliver Jersey , they could not hack it in this league anymore. Cruz's specific situation was shocking just based on the talent-barren depth at the wide receiver position for the Monsters of the Midway.So bring on the scourge, as washed-up greats are sent packing for greener pastures in the hellscape that is the NFL's current talent pool. Younger players are the premium assets in this league, costing teams less money, having fresher bodies, and carrying less of an ego. Of course not all of the players you see here may actually be cut, but based on the history of decision-making teams across the league as a whole make, these are the likeliest of candidates to be shown the door at some point in 2018.The path to a championship in February is paved with the tough decisions made from March-September to let players go at the end of their turn as a value to the organization. No one wishes for these talents to be unemployed, but that is the nature of the beast. When one door closes, however another one opens. Expect these players to find a new home in 2018. DAVIE, Fla. (AP)Miami Dolphins receiver Kenny Stills vacationed this offseason in Africa http://www.billscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-cody-ford-jersey , led several teammates on a training trip to Nebraska and returned to find the NFL’s national anthem debate again at peak volume.”We’ve got to clean up how things are looking,” Stills said following the Dolphins’ first training camp practice Thursday.The sixth-year pro is part of the debate because he kneeled during the anthem the past two seasons and has been vocal discussing social injustice issues that inspired the protest.Stills would prefer the league had no anthem policy so players could do as they wished, and said he’ll wait until a policy is set to decide what he’ll do during the anthem this season.”At some point before the season starts, the league and the players association are going to come to an agreement,” he said. ”And at that point I’ll have a better idea what I’ll be doing.”Last week the league and union issued a joint statement saying the two sides are still working on a resolution. Their statement came hours after The Associated Press reported Dolphins players who protest on the field during the anthem could be suspended for up to four games under a team policy issued last week.The Dolphins subsequently issued a statement saying all options regarding the team’s policy remain open.On Thursday, coach Adam Gase said he doubted a Miami player would be suspended for protesting during the anthem.”I mean, if anybody knew actual rules in the NFL, good luck suspending somebody,” Gase said. ”It takes about 5,000 things before anybody can get suspended by a club.”Gase said he doesn’t see anthem issue as potentially divisive for his team.”I think they do a good job of when issues come up Devin Singletary Jersey , they get together and hammer it out,” Gase said. ”These guys aren’t shy about speaking up. They’ve done a good job of making sure, as a group, they talk through things.”Three-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jurrell Casey also plans to continue protesting, but wants people to quit seeing this as an anthem issue. The Tennessee Titans lineman said he will continue protesting by raising his fist at the end of the anthem.”The biggest thing that we have right now is the way the justice system is set up for minorities,” said Casey, whose wife is an attorney. ”And that’s just what the whole battle is about, trying to bring light to enlighten the things that’s going on around the minority community.”The league hasn’t been able to reach an agreement. On Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he’ll insist his players stand for the anthem.Stills’ reaction to Jones’ comments?”I wouldn’t expect anything different,” Stills said.Stills said he hadn’t spoken much with Dolphins owner Stephen Ross about the issue since last year. Ross didn’t attend the first day of training camp.Stills tuned out the anthem debate this offseason by traveling to Victoria Falls Kyler Murray Jersey , Kruger National Park and Cape Town, where he learned about African culture, went on safaris and tried bungee jumping. More recently, he spent time in Lincoln, Nebraska, with other Dolphins wideouts and a receivers coach he has known since he was in the 10th grade.”The anthem stuff was becoming a really quiet, quiet topic,” Stills said.No more. Defensive end Robert Quinn, who protested during the anthem while with the Rams last year, was asked following his first Dolphins practice what the league should do about a policy.”I’ll just say one thing: It’s called freedom of speech http://www.billscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-dawson-knox-jersey ,” he said. ”Simple as that.”Quinn, Stills and others have been targets of criticism for their protests, which they believe have been misconstrued as unpatriotic.But Stills was nominated by teammates last year for the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, a reflection of his standing in locker room. His latest community project is with the nationwide OK Program, which mentors young black men.”I think I’ve done a good job of trying to figure out ways to continue to use my voice and platform for the right things,” Stills said, ”and put the messaging back in the right direction.”—
