Offseason receivers and who isn't on this team next season?


This years free agency is far from spectacular in the wide receiver department. There are four wide receivers that are worth considering, those being John Brown Tyrell Williams, Golden Tate, and Adam Humphries. I've been a fan of Golden Tate's for several years, and he was originally my top guy for this years free agency, but the way he's finished his season is concerning, and he's 32 years old. I'm not sure what kind of deal he'll be looking for, but I wouldn't feel comfortable signing him to a multi-year contract. The two guys I like the most are John Brown and Adam Humphries, and I'm not that high on either of them. Between the two I'd prefer Humphries, he's consistent with his numbers and was a reliable target in that Bucks offense, and he's only 25. John Brown is a speedster, which is something this team lacks, but there were a good amount of games where he was non-existent. The same goes for Tyrell williams, Williams had 4 games with under 15 yds receiving and 8 total games under 25 yds.

I'm not sure how much money these guys will be demanding, any will be an upgrade, but I honestly think we might be better off picking a receiver in the 1st or 2nd round of the draft. There are about 10 receivers that we could grab in the first two rounds, who I think could step into that much needed number 2 role and contribute immediately. AJ Brown seems like the ideal WR2 for the NFL, he reminds me a lot of JUJU and I think he'll be effective receiver right out the gate for whatever team he goes to. My favorite wide receiver in the draft is Kelvin Harmon, who reminds me so much of Michael Thomas, when you compare their college tapes. I think guys like Harmon, Demarkus Lodge,JJ Arcega Whiteside, and Collin Johnson would all be upgrades and possibly be on the board with our 2nd pick. AJ Brown, Hollywood Brown, DK Metcalf, and Harry will probably be gone by then.

As far as who isn't going to be on this team next season, I really don't know, and would like to hear your guy's opinions on this, as well as what receivers you like in free agency/draft.
