Charlton have released strikers Shaun Bartlett, Jonatan Johansson and Francis Jeffers as the Addicks prepare for a fresh start following the departure of long-serving manager Alan Curbishley.
The trio hardly featured last season, with Jeffers spending a period on loan at Rangers while Johansson ended the campaign at Coca-Cola Championship side Norwich.
With the search continuing for Curbishley's successor - former Crystal Palace boss Iain Dowie is reportedly now the front-runner - the London club were keen to resolve the future of their out-of-contract players as soon as possible.
It is no real surprise to see any of the three forwards leave.
Former England striker Jeffers, 25, has been a huge disappointment since his arrival from Arsenal in a £2.6 million deal during the summer of 2004, and the release of his hefty wages will ensure fresh funds for new talent.
South African Bartlett, now 33, made 139 appearances for the Addicks and scored 26 goals, including a double on his home debut in a 3-3 draw with Manchester United during December 2000.
Manchester City defender Danny Mills has been told he can leave by manager Stuart Pearce. The right-back (29) still had three years left on his contract.
"I'm disappointed and very surprised," said Mills, who signed for City on a free transfer from Leeds two years ago.
