The season is over, bar the shouting of the play-offs and clubs across the country have begun announcing their retained lists ahead of the summer break.
Nottingham Forest have announced their own list with only Jamie Ward and Stephen Henderson departing at the end of their contracts.
Here, we take a look at the those who have pulled on the Garibaldi red in yesteryear, but are now in need of a new team after being released.
The league table Nottingham Forest fans will love and Derby County fans will hate
Joel Lynch
The central defender has just been shown the door by QPR after three years at Loftus Road. He played 37 times last season, but new boss - and ex-Forest manager - Mark Warburton has decided to let Lynch go.
The 31-year-old played 90 times for Forest over a near four-year stint which ended in 2012 when he joined Huddersfield.
Paul Anderson
The 30-year-old was once a bright prospect at Liverpool who became a fan favourite with Forest. After making over 100 appearances, he joined Bristol City on a free transfer in 2012.
More recently, he had an unhappy end to his time at Mansfield Town, when he was exiled from the first team squad and released. Joined Plymouth in February, but has been released after making just four appearances.
Nathan Tyson
A regular for Forest under Colin Calderwood, Tyson has just left Wycombe, where he spent two years, scoring nine goals in 54 games. At 37, a nomadic career could be coming to an end.
Danny Collins
The former Wales international once joined Stoke for almost £3m. Spent three years at Forest, between 2012 and 2015, playing 79 times.
A committed performer, he was a respected veteran at Grimsby for the last three years, but at the age of 38, he could be ready for the next phase of his life.

George Boyd
Played 25 times for Sheffield Wednesday last season before being released. The 33-year-old has hinted he could return to former club Stevenage.
Boyd played six times for Forest in 2010 on loan. That was before another loan spell famously fell through with the Reds citing a failed eye test in 2013.
Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony at the time said: "The whole thing stinks. Alex McLeish wanted to sign him. It's the most ridiculous thing that's happened to me. He will be back at Peterborough."
