NFL Free Agency 2020: 10 Best players still available and their best landing spots
Huge names are already off the market in 2020 NFL free agency but there is still plenty of talent left. These are the 10 best players that remain unsigned.
It’s safe to say that major dominoes have fallen through the first three days of the legal tampering period and 2020 NFL free agency. We know that Tom Brady is heading to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which was perhaps the biggest domino to fall. Just behind him, however, Amari Cooper re-upped with the Dallas Cowboys while his former teammate, Byron Jones, landed with the Miami Dolphins.
There were plenty of other big moves but, at the end of Wednesday, the NFL free agency action seemingly died down — at least in comparison to the wild first two days when negotiations could take place. But don’t let that make you think there aren’t still players worth signing out on the open market.
While there are more than just these players, these are the 10 best players still available in 2020 NFL free agency and some potential landing spots for these guys.
10. Breshad Perriman, WR
For the first three years of his career, Breshad Perriman was the poster-child for first-round wide receivers busting despite their immense athletic talent. The 26th overall selection in the 2015 NFL Draft, Perriman had just 43 catches for 576 yards and three touchdowns over his first two years. His 2017 season with the Browns after he changed scenery wasn’t great either, though, as he had only 16 catches in 10 games, though he did go for 340 yards.
This past season with the Buccaneers, however, Perriman showcased some of his potential. The 6-2, 215-pound wideout caught 36 passes for 645 yards and six scores in 14 games with Tampa Bay as the No. 3 option in the offense. Furthermore, he stepped up big when injuries derailed the Bucs’ pass-catchers.
Perriman is far from a No. 1 wide receiver but he has developed into a valuable asset for an offense. Teams that need to supplement their wide receiver corps should gauge his price tag and be interested in adding the still 26-year-old to the roster.
Best Possible Landing Spots: Eagles, Colts, Buccaneers
9. Jason Peters, OT
Yes, Jason Peters turned 38 years old in January and has not exactly been the picture of health at this point in his career. Those are likely both reasons why the Eagles ultimately moved on from their veteran left tackle. But despite the warning labels that Peters comes with due to his age and recent injury history, his performance on the field when healthy hasn’t slipped a bit, which makes him valuable.
For any team that is in need of fortifying their offensive line with a short-term solution that could pay huge dividends, Peters should definitely be on their radar. The tricky part is navigating what the left tackle should make on the free-agent market given the concerns about him. At the end of the day, however, he’ll find a suitor and, if he can stay on the field, improve that team for the 2020 season.
