1. Kenny Golladay

There are a lot of talented receivers available in this year’s free agent class, but there’s a reasonable argument to be made that Golladay is the cream of the crop. At worst, he profiles as a solid No. 1 option for any team looking to upgrade their passing attack.

At best, Golladay has the talent to be a dominant weapon on the outside. He flew under the radar in Detroit due to the team’s lack of success during his tenure, but NFL scouts understand just how dynamic he can be. He has the perfect combination of size and high-end speed to torment opposing defensive backs on a regular basis.

Golladay is one player on this list who is not going to accept a modest contract or a one-year deal. Teams interested in acquiring his services need to come with serious, lucrative, multi-year offers. Nothing less should be considered by Golladay or his representatives.

The big question Golladay might need to answer is just how much importance he wants to place on going to a winning team. Plenty of bad teams with tons of cap space will throw big offers in his direction. He might need to take slightly less money if he wants to finally have a legitimate chance to win a Super Bowl title.
