Lewis, Poz, Gerhart, and Clemons possible cuts via nfl.com

The chances of them being cut from most to least likely are the following:

 

1.  Lewis.  It just makes too much sense to sign the far more productive Julius Thomas for only slightly more money than Lewis.

 

2.  Gerhart.  I think there is a good chance he's cut.  I'm guessing the Jaguars use an early draft pick on running back to be their #1.  Denard Robinson will then be their #2.  I don't see the Jaguars keeping Gerhart for #3.  They'll want someone who is either cheaper, younger or a bigger contributor on special teams.  We saw what Gerhart could do and it wasn't much.  He won't be missed.

 

3.  Clemons.  I can see him being cut.  Most mock drafts have us taking a defensive end with our #3 overall pick.  That draft pick will be safe.  Branch will be safe.  The decision becomes whether you keep the aging veteran for one final year or keep the youngster Chris Smith.  Personally, I would probably keep Clemons, but many NFL teams, particularly young rebuilding teams, would make the move to cut Clemons.  Don't think that getting 8 sacks makes you safe.  Just one year earlier, Caldwell cut Babin who had 7.5 sacks.

 

4.  Poz.  I'm not as big of a critic of him as some.  He's only one year removed from going to the pro-bowl.  Yeah, he's overpaid, but I think the team likes his leadership.  At the outside linebacker spots, we are probably looking at Telvin Smith and a draft pick.  You want a little continuity and veteran presence.  We can't fix every problem in one off-season.  I think middle linebacker waits until next year and we keep Poz as a stopgap.
