Sheldon Richardson, DE, New York Jets

Due to the ongoing salary cap issues and depth at the defensive end position, everyone is 120% positive that the Jets will trade Richardson next offseason. As they now have Muhammad Wilkerson and Leonard Wilkerson, this pretty much makes Richardson expendable, even though he’s crazy talented. Plus if the Jets moved Richardson with one year left on his rookie deal then they would almost surely get the highest possible value in return.

Tony Romo, QB, Dallas Cowboys

It really shouldn’t come as a shock that Tony Romo ends up on our list, the epic story of Dak Prescott and Tony Romo has dominated the NFL world. Just in case you’ve been living under a rock, here’s the scoop, Prescott has led Dallas to an 11-1 record while playing in his first professional season following Romo’s back injury. Romo was once the face of the franchise and now finds himself in the role as a mere backup. The 36-year-old QB has a scheduled cap hit of $24.7 million in 2017, and we’re guessing the Cowboys are smart enough to know that having a backup player on the bench with that much of a scheduled salary cap isn’t a good use of their money. So it’s safe to say that Romo will be making a change soon.
