Nigel Pearson hinted he is powerless to prevent some Bristol City players who may be running down their contracts but has tasked others to prove they deserve new deals.
A number of notable names have entered the final year of their contracts including Tomas Kalas, Dan Bentley, Jay Dasilva and Han-Noah Massengo.
Chris Martin and Nahki Wells' deals are also expiring in 2023 as remains the case with Andy King, Harvey Wiles-Richards and Josh Owers while the club holds a one-year option in the contracts of Antoine Semenyo, Owura Edwards, Taylor Moore, James Morton, Max O'Leary and Zak Vyner.
