These five teams would be the best fits for Kenny Golladay.

The free-agent class of wide receivers is absolutely loaded. While Allen Robinson, Chris Godwin and JuJu Smith-Schuster draw all the headlines one of the more intriguing players in the group is Kenny Golladay.

Injuries limited Golladay to just five games in 2019 but he was still productive in that span, catching 20 passes for 338 yards and two touchdowns. Strong production in 2018 and 2019 should help Golladay command a sizeable contract for his services, so let’s look at the five teams that would be the best fits for Golladay in 2021.

5. Kenny Golladay best free agency fits – Miami Dolphins

After a run in Detroit that featured only no playoff appearances, Golladay is likely interested in suiting up for a contender. A good fit in that regard would be the Miami Dolphins, who need another wide receiver to help Tua Tagovailoa take the next leap in his development.

Golladay would offer a no. 1 target to go with DeVante Parker, a major upgrade in weaponry for Tagovailoa. The Dolphins went 10-6 last season but their offense never really clicked once Tagovailoa took over, so signing a big weapon like Golladay could help tremendously with Miami’s red-zone performance.

There is also plenty to like here for Golladay, who can live in sunny Florida and take advantage of the fact that he wouldn’t have to pay state income tax. Miami is also well under the salary cap so they can afford to splurge on a big deal for Golladay without negatively impacting their ability to add to a winning team.
