As most of the league has been eliminated from playoff contention in the NFL, it’s time for fans all across the country to take a look at 2016.

Sometimes, you need to make a change.  It could be a job. It could be the way you do something. It could be how you think about things. Sometimes you just gotta shake it up.

For the following five players, there’s different reasons that they need to shake things up. Maybe just a change of scenery is needed to that player to get the most out of his ability. Maybe the scheme doesn’t fit that player’s abilities. Maybe the team around them is eroding and their salary cap situation isn’t great and their run at competing for the playoffs with their current group is over and it’s time to rebuild.

Change can be a good thing though for both team and player. For the team, it gives them an opportunity to maybe save some money and use that for a player or players that may help them more or for the future. For the player, it gives them a chance to go to a new city and new situation that may be better for their talents.

For these five players, it would be beneficial for them to leave their current situation and find a new one. The trades of Brandon Marshall and Ryan Fitzpatrick worked out well for the Jets and the players. The trade of Jimmy Graham to Seattle? Not so much (at least not yet anyway)

So who are the five that should be in new jerseys by the time we kickoff the 2016 regular season? Let’s take a look.
