There are tons of players in different positions that are entering the free agency market. However, a top-quality wide receiver is always in demand. Let us look at WRs and the teams they might switch to.

Mike Evans

For more than a decade, Mike Evans has served as the first-choice WR for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, they both could not decide on the latest contract negotiations. Hence, the 30-year-old will be exploring free agency.

The Super Bowl winner could find himself playing for the defending champions this season. Since the Kansas City Chiefs lack a definite WR on their roster, the 5X Pro Bowler could be the perfect choice for them. The only potential issue could be Evans’ salary demands.

Odell Beckham Jr.

In his 10 years in the NFL, Odell Beckham Jr. has played for four different franchises. His one-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens has expired, and they are not keen to re-sign the 31-year-old.

The Super Bowl winner has declared that he has more left in him. And according to reports, the Dallas Cowboys are interested in the 3X Pro Bowler. So we could see him in Texas soon enough!

Tee Higgins

Considered one of the hottest prospects in the free agency market, the 25-year-old has several suitors. However, presently, it looks like the former CFP champion will not have to switch to a new team.

According to reports, the Cincinnati Bengals are keen on retaining their second-round pick from the 2020 NFL Draft. The Bengals, in all probability, will exercise their franchise tag to hold on to Higgins.

Michael Pittman Jr.

The Indianapolis Colts tried their best to reach an agreement with star WR Michael Pittman Jr. However, the talks did not yield a fruitful result for both parties. And the 20-year-old could be on the free agency market in two weeks.

But the Colts are exploring the possibility of franchise-tagging Pittman. And the reports suggest they are weighing all options before making the final decision.
