Tee Higgins and Mike Evans are now off the table. So, who’s left?
Sorry, Carolina Panthers fans. There will probably be no Tee Higgins and definitely no Mike Evans in your team’s immediate future.
But that doesn’t mean they still can’t sign a worthwhile wideout next week.
Here are the top 12 remaining receivers who are slated to hit free agency:
With 2024 NFL free agency set to begin in less than two weeks, we’re looking back at the Baltimore Ravens 2023 free agent class
General manager Eric DeCosta, Ozzie Newsome’s successor, has grown increasingly aggressive in handing out contracts, and he’s now built a Super Bowl hopeful for 2023 and beyond.
The Ravens are 20th in the NFL in cap space, with $11.9 million available, and there will be critical decisions regarding several vital contributors and two All-Pros. And they’re spending about $120+ million plus on the offensive side of the football.
With the NFL combine ongoing and free agency just ten days away, we’re looking at Baltimore’s strong 2023 class.
In the latest mock draft from Gennaro Filice, the New York Giants select a wide receiver ‘eerily similar’ to Odell Beckham Jr.
The NFL mock draft season is in full swing and many of the experts have the New York Giants focusing on bolstering their punchless offense.
In the latest mock from NFL.com, deputy editor Gennaro Filice sees the Giants augmenting their wide receiving corps by selecting LSU’s Malik Nabers with the No. 6 overall pick in this spring’s NFL draft.
Ten years ago, the Giants drafted a playmaking receiver out of LSU who checked in right around 6 feet tall and 200 pounds. Asking the eerily similar Nabers to replicate Odell Beckham Jr.’s spectacular burst onto the NFL scene (SEE: 1,300-plus yards and double-digit touchdowns in each of his first three seasons) is a tall order, but the 20-year-old would undoubtedly give Brian Daboll’s passing attack a necessary jolt of electricity.
Nabers is the latest in a long line of great receivers to come out of Baton Rouge. The Giants can only hope they are getting the next OBJ, Justin Jefferson or Ja’Marr Chase.
There still is the issue of who will be on the other end of the passes that will be intended for Nabers, however. Daniel Jones is still rehabbing his knee, Tyrod Taylor is headed for free agency and Tommy DeVito is, well, clearly backup material at the moment.

We’re looking at ten takeaways from the Baltimore Ravens 2023 NFL season
The Ravens have concluded their 2023 season, and the focus now shifts to what’s shaping up to be a franchise-altering offseason for general manager Eric DeCosta.
Baltimore is 20th in the NFL in cap space, with $5 million available, and there will be critical decisions regarding several vital contributors and two All-Pros. And they’re spending about $120+ million plus on the offensive side of the football.
With the NFL Combine set to begin, we’re looking at ten takeaways from the Ravens 13-4 regular season.
We’re predicting whether Baltimore Ravens free agents should stay or go ahead of the NFL’s new league year
Baltimore faces an offseason of change after Mike Macdonald bolted for the Seahawks job. Anthony Weaver landed the Dolphins’ defensive coordinator job, and 29 players are set to be free agents, headlined by Patrick Queen and Justin Madubuike.
The Ravens are 20th in the NFL in cap space, with $5,138,828 available, and there will be critical decisions regarding several vital contributors and two All-Pros.
With an urgent offseason underway, we’re looking at who should stay or go via Over The Cap.

We know that Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young can’t do it alone. So, the newly-constructed braintrust needs to find him some help—and that search could start on the open market.
Here are the top 12 free-agent wide receivers for the 2024 offseason:
We’re looking at five ways the Baltimore Ravens defense will look different under new defensive coordinator Zach Orr
The Ravens quickly replaced Mike Macdonald as defensive coordinator, promoting inside linebackers coach Zachary Orr.
Orr, who played for the Ravens from 2014-2016, is a fast-rising star in the coaching ranks.

The 31-year-old Orr has been on the Ravens staff since 2017, save for one season with the Jaguars and Urban Meyer in 2021.
An undrafted player from North Texas, Orr was forced to retire because of a neck/spine condition. During his final season in 2016, Orr had his best year, finishing with 133 tackles, three interceptions, and two fumble recoveries.
The Ravens introduced Orr to the media on Tuesday, and with the former NFL linebacker firmly entrenched, we’re looking at the multiple ways this defense will look different.
The Colts should target these WRs in free agency.
The Indianapolis Colts are looking to be more explosive on offense in 2024 and one way to make that happen is with an addition to the receiving corps.
The first matter of business, of course, is the Michael Pittman Jr. contract extension. Chris Ballard will have to either come to an agreement with him by March 5 or use the franchise tag on him.
Odds say that MPJ will be a Colt next season but regardless of whether he walks or stays in Indianapolis, we’re taking a look at 10 receivers who should be on the front office’s radar in free agency.
We should note that we understand a handful of these players won’t even hit the market, but we’re working under the hypothetical scenario that they hit they become available, regardless of how slim the chances are.
We’re looking at studs and duds from the Baltimore Ravens 2023 NFL regular season
The Baltimore Ravens have concluded their 2023 season, and the focus now shifts to what’s shaping up to be a franchise-altering offseason for general manager Eric DeCosta.
Where things currently stand, Baltimore expected to have roughly $7,328,828 in cap space, via OverTheCap, which is the 20th most in the NFL.
That number could grow if the team opts to part ways with some expensive contracts (perhaps Ronnie Stanley and/or Marlon Humphrey.
With the offseason underway, we’re looking at studs and duds from the 2023 regular season.
