Christian Burgess, Brett Pitman, Oli Hawkins, Adam May and Matt Casey all departed Fratton Park, while Lee Brown and Brandon Haunstrup have been offered new deals.
Only Burgess has a new club, having joined Belgium side Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.
The other four who have left are now free agents and can are able to talk to clubs over a potential move.
But they aren’t the only players who’ve plied their trade at Fratton Park during thier careers who’ll also be trying to find a new home.
There’s an array of ex-Pompey players who are also out of contract this summer.
We’ve taken a look at some of them...
