Player by player evaluation going forward:
Brandon Allen - Under contract. See how he does during the offseason and preseason 2017.
Tyson Alualu - This may be an unpopular position, but I would like to see the team keep the guy. He is not overly expensive, and does a respectable job.
Prince Amukamara - I would like to see the team try to extend the guy if the price is not too steep. He has been respectable also.
Kelvin Beachum - No brainer here. Pick up the option because the guy can play.
Arrelious Benn - Not sure of the contract status, but he is quality depth at WR.
Michael Bennett - Will have to have a strong showing to make the team next year.
Blake Bortles - He is still under rookie contract. One more offseason to see if he is the 2015 guy or 2016 guy.
Luke Bowanko - It will be interesting to see if he can earn a starting spot or at least reserve spot next year. The guy allegedly knows all OL positions.
A.J. Cann - Still under rookie contract. Has been ok, but needs to be better or else he won't be long for this team.
Aaron Colvin - I believe he is up for at least RFA. The team needs to lock him up for a while longer.
Johnathon Cyprien - Has improved this year, but needs to be challenged or replaced. If he's a FA, I would be inclined to let him walk unless he took a min. contract.
Sheldon Day - The jury is still out on the guy. He's a rookie. Let's see how he looks next year.
Alex Ellis - Makes far too many mistakes. If he doesn't improve drastically by next year, see ya.
Dante Fowler Jr - Essentially his rookie year. Did some boneheaded things, but has flashed at times also. A healthy offseason may be beneficial.
Tashaun Gipson - Haven't been overly impressed with his play. It's not terrible, but it's not what he's being paid to be. Possibly a surprise cut next preseason.
Corey Grant - Don't expect to see him here in 2017.
Rashad Greene - Needs to really step it up. Possible cut next preseason.
Chad Henne - I think it's all but a consensus that he's gone after this season.
Bronson Hill - Just a guy. See ya.
Jordan Hill - See above.
Davon House - Likely gone. He should be.
Allen Hurns - New contract. He may be asked to take a pay cut if his play doesn't return to 2015 standards.
Chris Ivory - Hasn't been healthy all season. I expect him to be here and much improved next season.
Myles Jack - The future at LB.
Malik Jackson - Plays really well, but not 90 million dollars well. Will be here for another year or two.
Luke Joeckel - I see him moving on.
Josh Johnson - Will have to earn his spot next season. He likely won't.
Abry Jones - Good DT. He should be around. Not sure of his contract status.
Ben Koyack - Developing well. Will be here next year and has the arrow pointing up.
Marqise Lee - Starting #1 WR next year most likely.
Marcedes Lewis - May retire. I would like to see him back.
Brandon Linder - Best OL. May be due for a contract extension. Lock him up.
Sen'Derrick Marks - Has been unhappy with playing time. He makes the most of his time on the field. Will likely come down to what the new coaches think of him.
Roy Miller - Bad injury to come back from. He may be released.
Jason Myers - He'll be here next year. Improving by leaps and bounds this season.
Yannick Ngakoue - Can't wait to see what he does next season. Arrow pointed way up.
Brad Nortman - Has earned every penny of his contract so far. A couple blunders, but very few.
Jared Odrick - likely released.
Patrick Omameh - May be back as a backup.
Jeremy Parnell - I think the team will try to upgrade the RT. He may stick around as a backup, likely contingent upon a pay cut. Likely gone though.
Sean Porter - Just a guy. Bye bye.
Paul Posluszny - Most will not agree, but I think he stays and plays in 2017. I don't see him going anywhere.
Jeremiah Poutasi - Adios
Hayes Pullard - Adios
Jalen Ramsey - Best secondary player already.
Chris Reed - Likely gone.
Allen Robinson - Needs to get back to 2015 play if he wants his payday.
Denard Robinson - It's a coin flip. The right coach could possibly do good things with him.
James Sample - Never healthy. Probably gone.
Tyler Shatley - Good backup. Probably comes back.
Dan Skuta - Gonzo if he doesn't take a pay cut. That may not save him either.
Chris Smith - Don't think he'll be here next year.
Telvin Smith - He's due for his big payday, and has earned every penny.
Neal Sterling - Has handled the position change well. Will have to earn his spot next year though. No guarantee.
Julius Thomas - As good as gone. Has not lived up to expectations whatsoever.
Peyton Thompson - Coin flip.
Carson Tinker - Could be replaced by someone younger and cheaper. Hard to say.
Bryan Walters - Guy is a very dependable WR. I hope he is here next season.
Josh Wells - Will have to earn his spot.
Jarrod Wilson - Just a guy. See ya.
Shane Wynn - Adios
TJ Yeldon - I really don't know. Could go either way.
That's about it for the squad. So much can change depending upon coaching and management changes, but as of today, these are my guesses and feelings.
