Last week we tried to give some reasons for optimism going into 2018 with 10 players who are trending in the right direction, or at least have an opportunity to step up next season.
This piece lists some guys going in the other direction. Some of the players below won’t be on the team in 2018 for salary cap reasons, or performance reasons. Others will look back on 2017 as a missed opportunity to solidify a future role for themselves. There are a couple of guys on this list that were very productive this year, but might be on their way out anyway.
