5 NFL free agents who could help your playoff-bound team, including Ndamukong Suh

Which NFL free agents could help your playoff-bound team? There are some good names out there.

The NFL playoffs are right around the corner, and postseason-bound teams are looking over the state of their rosters for a January push.

The Baltimore Ravens bolstered their offense by signing running back Dalvin Cook to the practice squad on Thursday, hinting that more signings like it could be on the way for playoff football.

While some of the players on this list haven’t played all that much this season (if at all), they’re all proven veterans who could factor in for a couple of games to help a team compete for a Super Bowl.

Let’s run down five of these names and try to identify how they could help and which teams make the most sense at this point.

Former Browns WR Jarvis Landry works out for another fringe-playoff team

The Colts have worked out a familiar name in Cleveland

The Cleveland Browns are not the only team in the wildcard hunt, as another team who is has brought in a former Cleveland receiver for a workout as they try to improve their roster. Looking for a late-season boost in their wide receiver room, and after suspending Isaiah McKenzie for conduct detrimental to the team, the Indianapolis Colts have reached out to Jarvis Landry.

The former Pro Bowl receiver spent four seasons with the Browns, tallying over 3,500 yards and 15 touchdowns in that span. He was released by Cleveland following the 2021 season, spending last year with the New Orleans Saints. Playing in nine games a year ago, Landry mustered just 272 yards and a touchdown for the Saints.

We will see if Landry lands in Indianapolis, as a need has opened up after the suspension of McKenzie. If he does, Landry will have an opportunity to make plays for a team fighting for a playoff spot down the stretch.

Colts worked out WR Jarvis Landry among several players

Here are the eight players the Indianapolis Colts worked out Tuesday, including WR Jarvis Landry.

The Indianapolis Colts held a workout for several players Tuesday, including five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry.

The Colts wound up signing one player from the group of workouts, and it’s clear they had an eye to find a potential return specialist, which is likely why they signed Jaydon Mickens to the practice squad.

The Colts still have one more spot open on the active roster after suspending Isaiah McKenzie and Tony Brown for conduct detrimental to the team so it wouldn’t be a surprise if they added another player from this group.

Here’s a look at the eight players the Colts worked out Tuesday:

5 free agent WR options for the desperate Chiefs to help Patrick Mahomes

These five WR free agents might be able to help Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs a bit.

The Kansas City Chiefs have a wide receiver problem.

After wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling dropped a game-winning touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, it underscored how the best quarterback in the game doesn’t really have the help he deserves from his wide receiver group.

However, there are some legitimate options out in free agency right now if the team wanted to bring in a veteran and see if they could help, at least just a little bit. Right now, any positive momentum for Kansas City would be good.

The available names might not be superstars, but they could all possibly help Mahomes in some way. Let’s see who they are and how they’d factor in.

How good is LSU’s WR duo of Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr.?

Where does the Malik Nabers-Brian Thomas Jr. duo rank among your top wide receiver pairs in LSU history?

The LSU Tigers are no strangers to having top-tier wide receiver duos. The Tigers had [autotag]Jarvis Landry[/autotag] and [autotag]Odell Beckham Jr.[/autotag] on the same team from 2011-13 and then they had [autotag]Justin Jefferson[/autotag] and [autotag]Ja’Marr Chase[/autotag] on the 2019 team.

In 2023, there is a new star duo on the hayou: [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag] and [autotag]Brian Thomas Jr.[/autotag] Nabers currently leads the NCAA in receiving yards with 1,284 yards on 72 receptions. He also has 10 touchdowns on the year.

Thomas leads the nation in receiving touchdowns with 13. He also has 918 yards on 51 receptions. Both of these guys complement each other very well. They have helped [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] throw for over 3,000 yards in only 10 games.

At a press conference Thursday, [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] revealed that the team has a running joke that Thomas’ success is due to the productivity of Nabers this year. He says that in jest but there could be some truth to it. When Nabers gets double-teamed, it leaves Thomas open and he has been able to capitalize on it.

Where does the Nabers-Thomas duo rank among your top wide receiver pairs in LSU history?

Top 11 remaining free-agent wide receivers

If the Carolina Panthers can’t find pass-catching help in the trade market, then how does the open market currently look?

Free-agent WRs who might make sense for the Panthers to sign

Are there any free-agent WRs worth signing? Let’s examine three possible options for the Panthers.

Dating back to the beginning of the month, there’s been a bit of buzz surrounding the Carolina Panthers’ search for a fresh wideout. But given their 0-6 record and a disposition to relinquish any more high-end draft capital, don’t count on a big splash before the trade deadline.

They could, instead, go through the bargain bin of free agency—a possibility recently mentioned by both Josina Anderson of CBS Sports and Joe Person of The Athletic. So, who’s still sitting out on the open market?

As long as you promise to temper your expectations throughout this post, we’ll present three free-agent receivers who may make some sense for the Panthers.

17 WRs the Vikings can sign with Justin Jefferson on IR

The Vikings need to add a veteran wide receiver and there are plenty of options in free agency and on practice squads

The Minnesota Vikings were dealt a crushing blow on Tuesday when they placed wide receiver Justin Jefferson on injured reserve.

Sitting at 1-4, the Vikings are in an odd spot. They have played much better than their record, but a -9 turnover differential has been a major factor in their lack of success.

Without Jefferson, that will change how defenses will approach the Vikings. They will be able to play more aggressive coverages without Jefferson on the field.

The likes of Jordan Addison and K.J. Osborn will need to step up and T.J. Hockenson is going to become the top option for the Vikings. They will need to add a wide receiver to the roster to fill Jefferson’s roster spot and there are 17 intriguing candidates.

11 free agents the Seahawks should consider for added WR depth

While Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf remain untouched and Jake Bobo is blossoming into a real threat, the Seahawks could use some help while these guys are out.

The Seattle Seahawks might have the best and deepest wide receiver room in the entire league this year. However, a rash of injuries can bring down even the greatest units and right now this group is a little bit thin.

To recap the slew of injuries at the wide receiver position, first-round draft pick Jaxon Smith-Njigba fractured his wrist in Saturday night’s win over the Cowboys and could miss the next 3-4 weeks according to head coach Pete Carroll. Super-athletic second-year wideout Dareke Young is also out with a hip injury that may require surgery and to top it off Dee Eskridge will be suspended for the first six games of the regular season.

While stars Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf remain untouched and undrafted rookie Jake Bobo is blossoming into a real threat, the Seahawks could still use some help while these guys are out. Here are 11 free agents who would at least add some more depth.

5 NFL free agents teams should sign before the season, including Leonard Fournette

These five NFL free agents should find a home before the season starts.

The 2023 NFL season is right around the corner, and teams are gearing up to finalize their 53-man rosters for the fall.

Although, there are still a good number of veteran free agents who could still help NFL teams in need.

We’ve tallied up five NFL veterans that teams should be keying in on this month as they prepare to take on the 2023 regular season slate.

While none of these guys would necessarily be Pro Bowlers, they all could be reliable members of a roster and should have a chance to compete this fall.

Let’s check out who these players are and detail why they should be signed.
