With the 2021 season behind us, NFL teams are set to begin balancing budgets and building their rosters for a run in 2022.

Here are 15 notable veterans whose hefty contracts could place them on the chopping block in the offseason.

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo

Years left on contract: 1
2022 cap savings: $25.55M
2022 dead money: $1.4M

It's no guarantee the 49ers will find a trade partner for Garoppolo, whose limited ceiling could put off quarterback-needy clubs. Garoppolo has asked San Francisco to send him to a competitive situation. However, prospective contenders might hold out for a bigger name. A trade still seems more likely, but a release could come if the right deal doesn't.

Chiefs DE Frank Clark

Years left on contract: 2
2022 cap savings: $12.7M
2022 dead money: $13.6M

Clark has fallen short of expectations over three seasons in Kansas City, and he could now be on his way out. He mustered only 4.5 sacks last season, continuing a downward trend since his 14-sack campaign in 2018 with the Seahawks. The Chiefs will have a tough time keeping Clark's $26.3-million cap hit on the books while Patrick Mahomes' number rises to nearly $36 million.

Cowboys WR Amari Cooper

Years left on contract: 3
2022 cap savings: $16M
2022 dead money: $6M

It's hard to imagine Jerry Jones cutting one of his top stars, but the Cowboys are going to have to re-jig their roster somehow. Dallas enters the offseason over the cap and has holes to fill. It could solve both problems by shedding Cooper's salary. The 27-year-old underperformed last season with 865 yards and eight touchdowns, and he has no more guaranteed money left on his contract.

Packers LB Za'Darius Smith

Years left on contract: 1
2022 cap savings: $15.28M
2022 dead money: $12.38M

The Packers will try to keep their prolific pass-rusher, but it's going to be tough. Green Bay is the only team that can't get under the cap through veteran restructures, and the club still has to sign or franchise tag Davante Adams, meaning another high-priced veteran probably has to go. An Aaron Rodgers extension could alleviate some financial pressure, but Smith is one of the only other options for major salary relief.

Browns WR Jarvis Landry

Years left on contract: 1
2022 cap savings: $14.88M
2022 dead money: $1.5M

The Browns need to overhaul their receiving core, and Landry could very well be part of sweeping changes. Not only is the slot specialist coming off a down year, but he may be ready to follow best bud Odell Beckham Jr. and find a more favorable situation. If you're Baker Mayfield, you probably wouldn't mind removing any associations to OBJ from the team.

Seahawks LB Bobby Wagner

Years left on contract: 1
2022 cap savings: $16.6M
2022 dead money: $3.75M

There's a good chance Wagner returns if the Seahawks want to keep the band together - or whatever is left of it - for another run. But if Russell Wilson asks for a trade or Seattle decides to retool, the Seahawks will have little incentive to keep the aging Wagner, who makes a ton of money and plays a non-premium position.

Colts QB Carson Wentz

Years left on contract: 3
2022 cap savings: $13.29M
2022 dead money: $15M

Speculation has hovered over Wentz since he and the Colts choked away a playoff spot, and all signs point to Indianapolis wanting to move on. It's unclear how the Colts would proceed at quarterback since they don't have a first-round pick or any obvious path to a more attractive alternative. Still, if GM Chris Ballard can pull something off, Wentz will be one-and-done in Indy.

Lions DE Trey Flowers

Years left on contract: 2
2022 cap savings: $10.39M
2022 dead money: $12.85M

Between his lack of production, his injuries, and the Lions' youth movement, Flowers no longer fits in Detroit. Tack on the fact he's owed $16 million in base salary next season and will count against the cap for $23.24 million, and it's unlikely the rebuilding Lions bring back Matt Patricia's one-time prized acquisition.

Patriots WR Nelson Agholor

Years left on contract: 1
2022 cap savings: $4.88M
2022 dead money: $10M

Agholor cashed in with the Patriots after a career year with the Raiders, only to have one of his least productive seasons for New England. The Patriots' conservative offense wasn't kind to receivers overall, but three pass-catchers still managed more than the 473 yards and three touchdowns Agholor registered. He'd leave behind significant dead money, but New England might be willing to stomach it.

Giants CB James Bradberry

Years left on contract: 1
2022 cap savings: $12.14M
2022 dead money: $9.73M

A Pro Bowler in his first year with the Giants, Bradberry crashed back down to earth with a subpar 2021. The Giants probably regret restructuring Bradberry's deal a year ago when they pushed $4 million of dead money into 2022. The eight touchdowns and 100.3 passer rating he allowed last season doesn't justify the $13.4 million he's due in base salary next campaign.

Bills C Mitch Morse

Years left on contract: 1
2022 cap savings: $8.5M
2022 dead money: $2.75M

Morse has been fine for the Bills, but Buffalo needs cap space and can probably find a cheaper replacement without downgrading too much. The Bills may also prefer to get a better run-blocker in the middle of their offensive line considering the struggles they've had in that department the last couple of years.

Commanders S Landon Collins

Years left on contract: 3
2022 cap savings: $6.48M
2022 dead money: $9.6M

The Commanders have waited longer to get out of Collins' contract than they waited to get a new name. Washington moved the former Pro Bowl safety into a linebacker role last season, a clear sign of what it thought about him at his original position. While Collins responded well to the change, he made it known he doesn't want to stay there. Perhaps the dead cap is still too high for Washington to cut ties, but this is the first year it would be manageable.

Ravens OT Alejandro Villanueva

Years left on contract: 1
2022 cap savings: $6M
2022 dead money: $3.25M

The Ravens signed Villanueva to serve as a bridge to 2022 after being forced to trade Orlando Brown Jr. last year, and they're now on the other side of the water. Ronnie Stanley and Patrick Mekari are set to return at the tackle spots next season, and a healthy Ja'Wuan James could also factor into the equation. Villanueva can't win this game of musical chairs.

Bengals CB Trae Waynes

Years left on contract: 1
2022 cap savings: $10.86M
2022 dead money: $5M

Waynes has played five games since inking a three-year, $42-million contract with the Bengals in 2020. There isn't much more to say. Cincinnati made a run to the Super Bowl without him and would surely like to reallocate his salary to its offensive line.

Titans G Rodger Saffold

Years left on contract: 1
2022 cap savings: $10.44M
2022 dead money: $2.38M

The Titans have plenty of avenues to create cap space, and Saffold is the most logical starting point. He'll turn 34 in June, and his pass protection has declined since joining Tennessee in 2019. While Saffold is still an asset in the run game, his value and salary no longer align.

NFL referees did nothing to rehabilitate their image during a divisional clash between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football.

The matchup featured a number of questionable calls, but the officials really drew the ire of both Lions fans and the general football public during a fourth-quarter comeback from the Packers.

Detroit sacked quarterback Aaron Rodgers on a third-and-10 play with just over 10 minutes remaining, which would have forced the Packers to punt trailing 22-13. But an illegal-hands-to-the-face penalty on Lions pass-rusher Trey Flowers wiped out the sack and gave Green Bay an automatic first down.

Replays didn't exactly back up the call on the field.

Illegal hands to the chest phantom call on Trey Flowers goes from a sack to 1st down Packers 😂 what a joke! #LambeauRefs pic.twitter.com/9IqBxLLXHv

"I didn't think hands to the chest was a penalty," Flowers said after the game, according to ESPN's Michael Rothstein. "I thought hands to the face. But I had them right here on the chest."

Just three plays later, Rodgers hit receiver Allen Lazard with a 35-yard strike to bring the Packers within two points.

The touchdown wasn't without controversy of its own, though, as the booth confirmed the scoring play - thus opting against a more extensive review - despite video appearing to show Lazard down by contact short of the goal line.

Lazard has no possession, knee is down and DB is touching him and still counted as a TD @Ianfitzespn @ColemanESPN pic.twitter.com/Qv01TluKNf

After a punt by the Lions, Rodgers was given a chance to lead a game-winning drive. The former MVP pushed the ball inside the Lions' 20-yard line, where the Packers failed on a third-and-4 with 1:36 to play.

A field goal by Green Bay would have left Detroit with some time to attempt a game-winning drive of its own, but another phantom illegal-hands-to-the-face call on Flowers resulted in a first down.

So Trey Flowers didn’t touch his face but David Bakhtiari clearly puts a hand to Flowers face and we still get a game changing call!!!! #DETvsGB #refs pic.twitter.com/Ei4HzVlFzz

"I actually changed the position of my hands, because it was to the chest initially," Flowers said of the second penalty. "I was doing it all game. I didn't know that was a flag to the chest, so I could change it to (motioning somewhere else on his chest). They called it again."

The penalty allowed the Packers to run the clock all the way down before Mason Crosby came on to drill a 23-yard field goal that put Green Bay up 23-22 as time expired.

Referee Clete Blakeman offered the following explanation for the flags on Flowers as part of the postgame pool report, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN:

"The umpire threw both of them. The last one was really the only one I’ve discussed with him. Basically, it's for illegal use of the hands, hands-to-the-face foul. To be a foul, we basically need some forceful contact that's prolonged to the head and neck area of the defender, So, in his mind he had pinned him back, it was prolonged, and that's what created the foul."

The Packers took advantage of the controversial calls to improve to 5-1 on the season, while the loss dropped the Lions to 2-2-1.

The New England Patriots won't use the franchise tag on defensive end Trey Flowers, left tackle Trent Brown, or kicker Stephen Gostkowski, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Field Yates.

All three players were considered prime candidates to be tendered. Barring contract extensions over the next week, the trio will hit free agency as three of the top available players at their respective positions.

Flowers figures to attract the most interest on the open market after solidifying himself last season as one of the better edge defenders in the league. The 25-year-old posted 57 tackles and 7.5 sacks while helping New England surge to Super Bowl LIII glory.

Brown, also 25, will be in demand after thriving at left tackle in his first campaign with the Patriots. The former San Francisco 49er was particularly effective in the playoffs, shutting down vaunted pass-rushers from the Los Angeles Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Rams.

Gostkowksi, 35, has spent his entire career in New England, winning three Super Bowl championships. The four-time Pro Bowler went 27-for-32 on field-goal attempts in 2018.
