Calling all football fans, you know one thing is always for sure, every offseason, some big-name players change teams in the NFL, and that’s just how the cookie crumbles. We’ve been looking at the 2016 year and have noticed some huge changes which is why we’re pretty sure the next few months will help shape the 2017 offseason. We know that there will be retirements, trades, veteran players will get released in cost-cutting moves, and especially important, the long awaited 2017 NFL Draft. That’s why we’ve rounded up big-name players that we honestly believe could be changing teams in 2017.
NFL Rumors: Big-Name Players Who Will Change Teams in 2017
Jason Peters, OT, Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles have come a long way in fixing most of their salary cap issues as they are currently projected to be $10.3 million under the salary cap in 2017. While this isn’t bad obviously, it still isn’t enough for them to make the moves they need to fully build a playoff caliber roster around rookie QB Carson Wentz. Therefore they will need to let go of several notable players next offseason. One likely candidate is Peters, a six-time All-Pro and likely Hall of Famer but with his cap hit for 2017 scheduled to be $11.2 million, releasing him will only cost the Eagles $2 million in dead salary cap space. Makes sense for the club really at the end of the day.
