9. Robert Woods, Tennessee Titans

On paper, the Tennessee Titans’ decision to trade AJ Brown and replace him in the lineup with Robert Woods and Treylon Burks wasn’t horrendous. You would think someone with Woods’ history after the catch and someone like Burks — an absolute star at Arkansas — could carry the load. Unfortunately, Woods’ effectiveness after the catch was not even close to what we saw in his heyday with the Los Angeles Rams.

He once averaged over six yards after the catch per reception, (2019-20) but that dipped all the way to 2.9 YAC/reception in his lone year with the Titans before getting released. Based on what we saw this past year, I think Woods is going to try to find himself as a member of a high-octane passing attack. The Chiefs could make some sense for him, maybe a return to the Rams. He will be 31 in April.

8. Parris Campbell, Indianapolis Colts

Why do guys hit NFL free agency a lot of the time? Injuries are often a big part of it. Parris Campbell showed so much talent coming out of Ohio State before he was a second-round pick by the Colts in 2019. In his first three seasons, though, Campbell played just a combined 15 total games. In his contract year, he finally was able to put it together and play all 17 games for the Colts.

Despite their QB issues, Campbell still managed to catch a career-best 63 passes with a very nice catch rate of over 69 percent. I think NFL teams need to approach signing Campbell with some trepidation, but certainly, the talent is there. He’ll be just 26 in July and I love the idea of him reuniting with Frank Reich in Carolina where they need some more playmakers.
