With the 2017 season in the books, the business of restocking and refreshing rosters is soon to begin in earnest for front offices.

While the offseason features a lot of excitement for rookies and big-money free agents, there's equally as much trepidation for a lot of veterans, especially those for whom the guaranteed portions of their contracts have been exhausted. Players who haven't performed up to their salaries may be asked to take a pay cut to remain on the roster, while others may be cut loose altogether.

With this in mind, here is one fantasy-relevant player from each AFC team who is a cut candidate this offseason.

Throughout the piece, we'll use a metric called Net Expected Points (NEP), which is an in-house metric we use to evaluate teams and players. Not all plays are created equal, and NEP allows us to differentiate the value between a 10-yard completion on 3rd and 8 and a 10-yard completion on 3rd and 12. In addition to that, we'll also look at Success Rate, which is the percentage of plays that positively impact NEP.
