#3 - Jarvis Landry

From one Pro Bowler to another in free agency, we have Jarvis Landry looking for his next NFL team. He spent four years each with Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns and in that span, made it to five Pro Bowls. He was also the receiving yards leader in 2017.

But he last made the Pro Bowl in 2019. In 2020, he had an unexpected hip surgery and last year, missed a month due to a knee sprain.

The Browns decided to release him, even as they got Deshaun Watson, believing his best years were behind him. Now the question remains whether someone will believe otherwise and give him a chance.


#2 - Julio Jones

Julio Jones is a bonafide superstar and is a free agent after just one NFL season with the Tennessee Titans. He made it to the Pro Bowl seven times and twice, he was in the First Team All-Pro. He was the receiving yards leader in 2015 and 2018.

While he did have an injury-plagued season in 2020, he did bounce back in 2021 as the Titans clinched the top seed in the AFC.

He had great production with six receptions for 62 yards in the playoffs game and was blameless in their loss that was the result of an interception thrown by Ryan Tannehill. He should be given an opportunity by a team in need of a receiver.

#1 - Odell Beckham Jr.

Odell Beckham Jr. is arguably the best NFL wide receiver in free agency right now. He is a Super Bowl champion with the Los Angeles Rams. OBJ could have been Super Bowl MVP the way he was playing were it not for the injury he picked up during the game.

He is still in his prime and there should be candidates looking to rescue him from the purgatory of free agency. He should still get a chance in the NFL with a team that has Super Bowl aspirations.
