Crabtree is coming off two consecutive disappointing years after tearing his Achilles prior to the 2013 season. Crabtree has seemingly yet to regain his form from his 1,100-yard 2012 season. Coming off another disappointing season this year, the 10th-overall pick of the 2009 draft will likely be asked to prove himself on a short term contract this offseason. Crabtree has just 982 yards over 21 games in his past two seasons.

Despite working in a largely unproductive Rams offence, Britt put together one of the better seasons of his career in 2014. Coming off a controversy-filled 2013 season with the Titans in which he caught just 11 passes, Britt managed a career-high 48 receptions this year. Still just 26, Britt may have to settle for another short term contracts to prove he's capable of consistent play and ditch his first-round bust label.
