Davante Adams, Chris Godwin top Keyshawn Johnson's list of NFL free-agent WRs
In a pass-happy league, an NFL team can't have enough wide receivers.
Luckily, there's a solid list of pass-catchers who'll be available on the open market this offseason. In fact, there are a few who can sign with teams before the legal tampering window opens at noon ET on Monday because they were released by their previous teams.
Two notable wide receivers joined that list on Wednesday. The Seattle Seahawks released longtime standout Tyler Lockett and the Jacksonville Jaguars cut Christian Kirk for cap purposes.
Those moves happened after Keyshawn Johnson, an 11-year receiver in the NFL and current co-host of FS1's "Speak," shared his top nine free-agent wide receivers this offseason. There are also a few other wide receivers who could be moved via trade. DK Metcalf and Cooper Kupp have both been granted permission to speak with other teams, while Tee Higgins could still be traded on the franchise tag.
Still, there are quality receivers on Johnson's list. So, let's take a look at his top nine.
Keyshawn's thoughts: "He had 39 receptions for 390 yards in his first season with the Tennessee Titans. You're not gonna do much better than that in Tennessee. Previously, he had two 1,000-yard seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2018 and 2019."
Keyshawn's thoughts: "Since 2019, Slayton's led the Giants in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns."
Keyshawn's thoughts: "Many people would say [Thomas] is a big nepotism thing with me because it's my nephew, who didn't play last season because of his ankle rehab. So, I know the haters are going to start hating. He's a three-time Pro Bowler and a two-time All-Pro. He had four straight 1,000-yard seasons in New Orleans to start his career. He just turned 32 years old.
