#3 - Chris Godwin is the best secondary receiver in the NFL

Chris Godwin was tagged by the Buccaneers last year but they were unable to agree to a deal. It's unlikely the Bucs will tag him again, and he is better off hitting the market for a big payday without Tom Brady in Tampa Bay. He's rehabbing an ACL tear from late in the season but is expected to be ready for 2022. He has some flaws with drops and against press-man that make him a true No. 2 rather than a No. 1 receiver in the NFL. Teams like the Detroit Lions and the Washington Commanders have a top receiver on the roster but little depth. For $70 million, they could get a bonafide starter in Godwin.

#4 - Chandler Jones is still an elite pass-rusher at his age

After missing most of the 2020 season with a bicep injury, Chandler Jones bounced back with five sacks in Week 1 this year. He posted his first season with over 10 sacks since 2019 and was one of the highlights for the Arizona Cardinals' defense. Despite losing a step in his speed at the age of 31, Jones is effective in either a 4-3 or 3-4 defensive front. Injuries may be an issue again in 2022, but he's too good of an all-around defender to not have on your team. Jones could end up finishing his NFL career with the Denver Broncos or the Los Angeles Chargers.

2021 Stats

  • Pro Bowl
  • 15 games
  • 41 total tackles
  • 10.5 sacks
  • 12 TLF
  • 6 forced fumbles

#5 - Allen Robinson desperately needs a change of scenary in NFL

You could put Von Miller or Mike Williams on this list, but Allen Robinson is a very interesting free agent this year. After Justin Fields was drafted to the Bears, many thought Robinson would be his top target and start to revive his career. Instead, he earned the worst grade from PFF in his career and his potential is now murky in the NFL. Robinson isn't the fastest, but his strength comes from breaking free of coverage with his agility. He won't get back on the radar in Chicago, but he could find new life with the Philadelphia Eagles or the Indianapolis Colts.

  • 38 catches
  • 410 yards
  • 1 touchdown
