2024 NFL Free Agents: Wide Receiver – WalterFootball (2024)

1.Michael Pittman Jr., WR, Colts. Age: 26.
Re-signed with Colts (3 years, $70 million)

Michael Pittman Jr. is a receptions machine. He’s only 26, so he’ll continue to improve.

2.Tee Higgins, WR, Bengals. Age: 25.
Franchised by Bengals

Tee Higgins has been one of the best No. 2 receivers in the NFL. He can be a No. 1 on many teams.

3.Mike Evans, WR, Buccaneers. Age: 31.
Re-signed with Buccaneers (2 years, $52 million)

Mike Evans is an electric play-making receiver who produced mega numbers with Baker Mayfield. The only downside is his age.

4.Calvin Ridley, WR, Jaguars. Age: 29.
Signed with Titans (4 years, $92 million)

Calvin Ridley was inconsistent last year, but he had some dominant performances. At 29, he still has a few great years remaining in the tank.

5.Mike Williams, WR, Chargers. Age: 29.
Signed with Jets (1 year, $15 million)

Mike Williams is a dynamic receiving threat when healthy. Unfortunately, he’s always injured, and things have only gotten worse recently. Williams is coming off a torn ACL and will turn 30 in October, so we may never see the Williams of old ever again.

6.Marquise Brown, WR, Cardinals. Age: 27.
Signed with Chiefs (1 year, $11 million)

Marquise Brown has been productive when playing with viable quarterbacks. He’s not quite a No. 1 receiver, but he’s close.

7.Noah Brown, WR, Texans. Age: 28.
Re-signed with Texans

Noah Brown had some massive performances this past season, but spent lots of time dealing with injuries.

8.Gabriel Davis, WR, Bills. Age: 25.
Signed with Jaguars (3 years, $39 million)

Gabriel Davis is a feast-or-famine deep threat receiver. He’s only 25, so he could continue to develop his game.

9.Tyler Boyd, WR, Bengals. Age: 29.

Tyler Boyd has been a solid third receiver for the Bengals. He has proven that he can be a No. 2 elsewhere.

10.Curtis Samuel, WR, Redskins. Age: 28.
Signed with Bills (3 years, $24 million)

Curtis Samuel had a solid 2023 season with 62 receptions for 613 yards. He’s a nifty player who can be used in a variety of ways.

11.D.J. Chark, WR, Panthers. Age: 27.
Signed with Chargers

D.J. Chark is an explosive receiver with downfield ability, but has issues staying healthy.

12.Kendrick Bourne, WR, Patriots. Age: 29.
Re-signed with Patriots (3 years, $33 million)

Kendrick Bourne was New England’s No. 1 receiver until he tore his ACL. It’s unlikely that Bourne will be 100 percent until 2025.

13.Darnell Mooney, WR, Bears. Age: 26.
Signed with Falcons (3 years, $39 million)

Darnell Mooney has shown the ability to make some game-breaking plays in the past, but those flashes have been very inconsistent.

14.K.J. Osborn, WR, Vikings. Age: 27.
Signed with Patriots (1 year)

K.J. Osborn has some potential as a young receiver, but he tends to make a lot of mistakes.

15.Demarcus Robinson, WR, Rams. Age: 29.
Re-signed with Rams (1 year, $5 million)

Demarcus Robinson came out of nowhere to become a reliable third receiver for the Rams. It’s unclear if he can keep this up outside of Sean McVay’s system, however.

16.Josh Reynolds, WR, Lions. Age: 29.
Signed with Broncos (2 years, $14 million)

Josh Reynolds is an inconsistent deep threat receiver, but had some quality performances in the playoffs when he stepped up for some injured players.

17.Odell Beckham Jr., WR, Ravens. Age: 31.
Signed with Dolphins (1 year)

Odell Beckham Jr. showed flashes of his play-making ability at times last year, but looked like he was cooked overall.

18.Michael Thomas, WR, Saints. Age: 31.

Michael Thomas has enjoyed a great career, but it seemed to be coming to an end as a result of injuries sapping his athleticism.

19.Hunter Renfrow, WR, Raiders. Age: 28.

Hunter Renfrow was once a solid slot option for Derek Carr. His production fell off a cliff in 2023, but was in a very crowded receiving corps.

20.Zay Jones, WR, Jaguars. Age: 29.

Zay Jones was a solid producer for the Jaguars in 2022, but dealt with a number of injuries that derailed his 2023 season.
