FA WRs

https://walterfootball.com/freeagents2023WR.php

1. Jakobi Meyers, WR, Patriots. Age: 26.
Jakobi Meyers has been able to gel with every quarterback with whom he has been paired. He's a very reliable possession receiver. The problem is that he's been used as a No. 1 in New England when he'd be better off as a No. 2 option.

2. D.J. Chark, WR, Lions. Age: 26.
D.J. Chark caught only 30 passes last year, but played in only 11 games. Chark has proven in the past that he can be a viable No. 1, though he's much better as a No. 2.

3. Richie James, WR, Giants. Age: 27.
Richie James wasn't really the No. 1 receiver last year because he played in the slot, but he was the best-performing receiver all last year. James had some high-reception games, especially against the Eagles on two occasions.

4. Allen Lazard, WR, Packers. Age: 27.
Allen Lazard is a solid possession receiver, but doesn't offer much upside.

5. JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Chiefs. Age: 26.
JuJu Smith-Schuster broke into the NFL as an electric player, but has regressed since. He was just a mediocre possession receiver last year.

6. Darius Slayton, WR, Giants. Age: 26.
Darius Slayton seemed left for dead at the beginning of the year, but he stepped in for some injured players in the middle of the season and did well as the team's No. 1 receiver down the stretch.

7. Demarcus Robinson, WR, Ravens. Age: 28.
Demarcus Robinson was a surprise performer for the Ravens last year, doing well as a possession receiver once Rashod Bateman got hurt.

8. Jarvis Landry, WR, Saints. Age: 30.
Jarvis Landry didn't play much in 2022 because of injuries. He struggled when he was on the field, but he should be able to have a much better year in 2023.

9. Mecole Hardman, WR, Chiefs. Age: 25.
Mecole Hardman is a phenomenal athlete, but isn't a good football player. However, he's still just 25, so there's lots of time for him to develop.

10. Mack Hollins, WR, Raiders. Age: 29.
Mack Hollins is coming off his best season, catching 57 passes for 690 yards and four touchdowns. He had some solid performances when other players were injured.

11. Parris Campbell, WR, Colts. Age: 26.
12. Jamison Crowder, WR, Bills. Age: 30.
13. DeAndre Carter, WR, Chargers. Age: 30.

16. Chris Moore, WR, Texans. Age: 30.
17. Olamide Zaccheaus, WR, Falcons. Age: 26.
18. Marquez Callaway, WR, Saints. Age: 25.

25. Phillip Dorsett, WR, Texans. Age: 30.
26. Byron Pringle, WR, Bears. Age: 29.
27. Keelan Cole, WR, Raiders. Age: 30.
28. Julio Jones, WR, Buccaneers. Age: 34.
29. Sammy Watkins, WR, Ravens. Age: 30.
30. T.Y. Hilton, WR, Cowboys. Age: 33.

32. Laquon Treadwell, WR, Seahawks. Age: 28.
33. Matthew Slater, WR/ST, Patriots. Age: 37.
34. Randall Cobb, WR, Packers. Age: 33.
35. Cam Sims, WR, Redskins. Age: 27.

51. Deonte Harty, WR, Saints. Age: 25.
52. Andre Roberts, WR, Panthers. Age: 35.

This market just sucks.

I think you gotta bring back Watson, Hardman probably comes back cheap. Draft a guy or two.

I think you can pass JuJu off somewhere. All the WRs are going to get overpaid.

[O.city]

Yeah, woof.

There's gonna be some WR movement though on guys that are about to get paid etc.

I dunno that the Chiefs will or should be interested though.

[kccrow]

The market in FA absolutely sucks.

There are only a few in there I really like...

Chark... If ever he could stay healthy he'd be great. That said, he looks more like Sammy Watkins every year.

Slayton... Love his play but the drops are an issue. If you can work him out of the drops, he's fully capable of establishing himself as a true #1. He's the only guy I see on the list that could transform the offense beyond a whole bunch of slots + MVS.

JuJu... I think Walter nailed his analysis. He's solid but he's never going to be a wow guy.

Hardman... I'd rather bring him back than bring JuJu back if I'm being 100% honest. Move Moore into JuJu's role if you want. Largely, KC is playing with a deep threat, two slots, and a TE anyhow.

Campbell... He'd be an A fit for this team but he's been injured so much...

[Couch-Potato]

What makes these guys better than JuJu who out performed all of them?

Its rumored that Michael Thomas will hit become a FA as well, not that we'd be interested but just saying.

Who writes this shit??? DJ Chark has not proven to be a viable number one. He was a decent number two one year in Jax.

[Chris Meck]

I think you need to pass on Juju, and any of the rest of these FA.

I think you need to assume that Moore takes a step forward, and you re-sign Watson, who can do some of the Juju stuff cheap, and you need to draft another WR. I'd keep MVS, and if Hardman wants to take a cheap one year deal to try to cash in for '24, I'd do that.

I'd get Toney working with Bobby Stroupe ASAP.

It just seems like his foot/ankle is permanently ****ed. I think he's pretty much toast at this point.

I don't know. It isn't consensus, though, and I'd like to see him in this offense. Still.

DeeeeeJay
Chark
do - do do - do do - do do do
DeeJay Chark!

DJLN has talked about it but I like Slayton just from a traits standpoint. He brings some stuff that we don't have and need. Sign him to an MVS type deal, coach him up.

[Chris Meck]

I just don't think any of the guys not already in the building are going to produce at their cost level.

[GloucesterChief]

I don't know if it would be worth talking to the Giants and seeing if we can take Golladay off their hands for a low round pick?

[Chris Meck]

Some of you guys are going to be REALLY disappointed in free agency.

I think the chances of a blockbuster signing are pretty much nil.

There's like 1 blockbuster player in the entire lot that fits KC's needs and that's Da'Ron Payne. I simply don't see the Chiefs having two $100 million DTs.

I mean, the next closest is probably Ngakoue.
