Now that we talked about the what free agents quarterbacks could possibly be under center (or not be under center) for your team, let’s take a look at who they could be throwing to. It is a star studded field this year for free agent wide receivers.
Terrell Owens (Buffalo Bills) should not be back in Buffalo for a second season. No because he doesn’t still have “IT” (or at least most of it), but because there is no reason to pay a player close to 10 million dollars a year in that situation. No QB, mediocre Defense. I applaud buffalo for taking the chance last year, and attempting to get better, but you guys just don’t have the infrastructure. Sorry. But with no salary cap this year, look for Owens to get a nice (short) contract. My money is that Dan Snider (Redskins) or the Bears jump at this chance if they can’t get anyone younger.
Brandon Marshall (Denver Broncos) is the big prize here, he has had some of the best and most consistent numbers over the last few years, and he is young. And despite the off the field trouble, he manages not to get into too much trouble. Someone is going to take a chance on this guy, he is just too good. But who? He is a restricted free agent meaning that it will cost a first and third round pick to get him away from Denver. The question becomes is he worth the trouble? And do we want to pay anymore first round picks after snagging two for Jay Cutler. It is hard to say, but look for him to end up somewhere about 2 days before the draft.
Braylon Edwards (New York Jets) this guy has not produced in two years, and has really only manage one good (Great) season during his career. He is going to get paid because there is no cap and people go crazy during free agency (hence Bennard Berrian getting 8 mill from the Vikings a few years ago). However, the question is wheatear the Jets can unload him. Once again, only because there is no cap, I’m going to say yes, but this is not something your team should be happy about. Look for Dallas to potentially get involved. Especially if they can’t get Austin back.
Miles Austin (Dallas Cowboys) young, explosive, consistent, fast, great hands, crisp routes… Jerry paid TO 10 million a year and gave up a first rounder for Williams and didn’t get all that. There is no way this guy gets out of Dallas. He might as well not be a free agent, so forget it.
Others to consider:
Vincent Jackson (San Diego Chargers) Steve Breaston (Arizona Cardinals), Chris Chambers (Kansas City Chiefs), Derrick Mason (Baltimore Ravens) here are the player that you should really be excited about. Here are the players that your team could actually end up with if your not Dallas, Washington or New York, and for a good price too!!! These are the kinds of players that show up each week, you have no problems with, don’t ask for that much money, and always produce. Free agency is not to build a team, its to compliment it, and here are the best values.
Notable: Look for Chad Johnson and Anquan Boldin to be on the trading block before draft day.
