Which players will be gone....

The trouble is that the contracts are structured with massive signing bonuses that can make it even more costly to cut/trade a player than to keep them. It's a tough spot to be in and one that doesn't have an easy solution.

Not DeAngelo's. It's structured that we can cut him after this year and owe him nothing.

For example, DeAngelo Williams (since I know that's a common one people will bring up) would have a $9.6 million cap hit if released or traded this offseason as his signing bonus accelerates. That's slightly more than if we keep him, although it does free up a significant amount in the future. It's really going to take a year or two for the team to be in a good situation cap wise.

I suspect both DWill and Beason will be designated as post June 1st cuts to spread the hit out over two years.

As to others, we'll probably see a big shakeup on the O-line, with guys like Hangman gone and Gross offered a restructure with a paycut quietly implemented.

Godfrey is probably in trouble as well. Gamble will be offered a reasonable restructure to lessen his cap hit. If he doesn't bite, he may be let go, only because he is paid too much, not because he isn't good.

Hardy probably stays on roster but gets demoted eventually.

    • Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO 
    • Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years 
    • Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
