NFL free agent watch list: Who’s still available and where is their ideal landing spot?

5. WR Josh Gordon

It’s difficult to tell what kind of player Gordon is going to be moving forward. His suspension-heavy career has taken a toll on his superior capabilities. He played 11 games last year with the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks but only recorded an average of 39 yards per game and one touchdown on the year.

Gordon’s prime years are well gone, but his otherworldly ability is what still makes his an intriguing option with the regular season starting shortly.

Potential landing spots: Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers

4. S Eric Reid 

Reid still waiting for a new place to call home comes a bit surprising. In 2019, he tallied career-highs in sacks and tackles. It’s possible he’s waiting it out for more leverage in contract negotiations once teams sustain injuries with training camp ramping up. However, the clock is ticking and time isn’t on his side. He’s not exclusively a coverage guy but his playing style allows him to play more of a hybrid role. Reid remains one of the better defensive players still available.

Potential landing spots: San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens

Antonio Brown, Seahawks, Ravens, Packers

3. WR Antonio Brown

If any team is going to sign Brown, it’s going to contain incentives that are the bulk of the contract. There’s no disputing that signing Brown comes with extreme risk but given his All-Pro capabilities, the benefits may outweigh the risk for certain teams.

Before Brown can play another NFL game he will have to serve an eight-game suspension handed down by the NFL for violating their personal conduct policy.

Potential landing spots: Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens

2. DB Logan Ryan

After continuously holding out for a larger contract offer, Ryan has since then changed his tune — selling himself as a hybrid safety instead of a cornerback.

During his time with the Tennesee Titans, Ryan played primarily slot cornerback and minimal reps along the outside. Ryan is coming off a career year in several statistical categories, making it a bit surprising that he’s still trying to find a new home in 2020.

Potential landing spots: Indianapolis Colts, New York Giants

Jadeveon Clowney, Cowboys

1. DE Jadeveon Clowney

Clowney’s asking price has been all over the map. When free agency started, Clowney wanted at least $20 million per season, but as he continues to sit without a team, it appears he’ll have to rethink his contract demands.

His injury concerns are a bit alarming, but when Clowney is on the field with a full bill of health, he’s one of the better run defenders in the NFL and someone who can cause consistent pressure with his freakish ability. 

Potential landing spots: Seattle Seahawks, Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders
