The market for wide receivers has skyrocketed with less than a week to go before the official start of free agency. This week alone, the Jets released Davante Adams, the Seahawks parted ways with Tyler Lockett, the Jaguars will reportedly move on from Christian Kirk and star wideout DK Metcalf has requested a trade that Seattle will reportedly explore.
The Seahawks will undoubtedly receive interest for Metcalf, a two-time Pro Bowler and a physical specimen at 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds. Metcalf reportedly wants his contract reworked, but that likely won’t scare off many receiver-needy teams. Metcalf also reportedly wants to play for a title-contending team, so that might limit his options and the teams that inquire about him.
Metcalf might be the crown jewel of this group, but Adams, Kirk and Lockett are very good players who will also receive plenty of attention on the open market. Adams has enjoyed a Hall of Fame-caliber career as a six-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro. Kirk is a former 1,000-yard receiver who is still in his prime. Lockett is a crafty veteran with 661 career catches and 61 touchdown grabs under his belt.
With free agency looming, here’s is the best landing spot for each veteran wide receiver now available on the market.
