2013 NFL Free Agents: Wide Receivers


2013 NFL Free Agent Positions:
QB | RB | FB | WR | TE | OT | G | C | DE | DT | OLB | ILB | CB | S | K/P | FA Grades | Winners/Losers



2013 NFL Free Agency: Star rating is out of five. Age listing as of Sept. 1, 2013.
Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

  1. Victor Cruz (RFA), WR, Giants. Age: 26.
    Tendered by Giants (1st round)

    Victor Cruz proved that his amazing 2011 season was no fluke, catching 86 balls for 1,092 yards and 10 touchdowns this past year. He carried the receiving corps when Hakeem Nicks was out.

  2. Dwayne Bowe, WR, Chiefs. Age: 28.
    Re-signed with Chiefs (5 years)

    Dwayne Bowe is one of the most overrated players in the NFL. He consistently posts solid fantasy numbers, so people think he's better than he really is. The box score doesn't show that Bowe constantly drops passes and is responsible for interceptions. He's a very good No. 2 wideout, but he's too unreliable to be a top option.



  3. Mike Wallace, WR, Steelers. Age: 27.
    Signed with Dolphins (5 years)

    Mike Wallace is overrated. He has blazing speed, but he's a horribly inefficient receiver. He dropped tons of passes and ranked near the bottom of the NFL in terms of catch percentage among starting wideouts.

  4. Greg Jennings, WR, Packers. Age: 29.
    Signed with Vikings

    Greg Jennings is a talented receiver, but he may be overvalued because he's always worked with either Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers. Plus, he tends to get banged up quite frequently.

  5. Wes Welker, WR, Patriots. Age: 32.
    Signed with Broncos

    Wes Welker produces like crazy fantasy numbers, but he's also one of the league's most overrated players. There's a reason why the Patriots wouldn't show him the money. He drops lots of passes and is arguably a product of the system. He's also about to enter his mid-30s. Still, he's a highly effective slot receiver.

  6. Danario Alexander (RFA), WR, Chargers. Age: 25.
    Tendered by Chargers (original)

    Danario Alexander exploded after signing with the Chargers in the middle of the season, catching 36 balls for 624 yards and six touchdowns in nine games. He has tons of potential, but he is also a big risk because of his extensive injury history.



  7. Danny Amendola, WR, Rams. Age: 27.
    Signed with Patriots (5 years)

    Danny Amendola is one of the top slot receivers in the NFL, but he's incredibly brittle. He can't be trusted with a big contract.

  8. Brandon Lloyd, Patriots. Age: 32.
    Brandon Lloyd's 1,448-yard 2010 campaign seems like a decade ago. Lloyd has been pretty mediocre the past two seasons. He just couldn't generate any chemistry with Tom Brady, as he's been accused of trying to avoid contact and having a negative attitude. Worst of all, he'll be 32 in July, so he's unlikely to have another 1,000-yard season.

  9. Brian Hartline, WR, Dolphins. Age: 26.
    Re-signed with Dolphins (5 years, $30.7 million)

    Brian Hartline made a name for himself by catching 12 balls for 253 yards and a touchdown at Arizona in Week 4, but remarkably didn't find the end zone after that. Hartline is perfectly fine as a No. 2 wideout, but he's too inconsistent to be a top option.

  10. Julian Edelman, WR/KR, Patriots. Age: 27.
    Re-signed with Patriots

    Julian Edelman is a nice weapon to have on offense and special teams, but he spends too much time on the injury report.

  11. Titus Young, WR, Rams. Age: 24.
    There's no questioning Titus Young's talent, but he's a major head case. He started off last season by punching teammate Louis Delmas. He then sabotaged a game against the Packers by intentionally lining up in the wrong spots. And to top it off, he continued to mouth off on Twitter during the offseason, indicating that he hadn't learned his lesson. I wouldn't touch him, but there might be a coach out there who can turn him around.

  12. Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Raiders. Age: 26.
    Signed with Colts (1 year)

    Darrius Heyward-Bey caught 64 balls for 975 yards in 2011, but he's not a very good receiver. He has terrible hands and run awful routes. He does have upside though with his size and speed, so maybe some great coaching could get the most out of him.

  13. Michael Spurlock, WR/KR, Chargers. Age: 30.
    Signed with Lions

    Michael Spurlock scored two special-teams touchdowns in 2012. He also recorded seven catches for 64 yards in one game as a slot receiver.

  14. Emmanuel Sanders (RFA), WR, Steelers. Age: 26.
    Steelers match tender offer

    Emmanuel Sanders caught 44 balls for 626 yards and a touchdown in his third season. He could be thrust into the starting lineup if Mike Wallace leaves.

  15. Laurent Robinson, WR, Jaguars. Age: 28.
    Laurent Robinson has been medically cleared to play following his multiple concussions. With that being the case, he deserves a spot on a roster to compete for a No. 2 role. Teams need to be cautious, however, given Robinson's extensive injury history.

  16. Ted Ginn, KR, 49ers. Age: 28.
    Signed with Panthers

    Ted Ginn didn't score a special-teams touchdown for the first time since 2008, but was still effective taking back punts.

  17. Joshua Cribbs, KR, Browns. Age: 30.
    Signed with Raiders

    Joshua Cribbs maintained decent return averages in 2012, but he has just one special-teams touchdown in the past three years. He'll be 30 in June.

  18. David Nelson, WR, Bills. Age: 26.
    Signed with Browns

    David Nelson caught 61 passes for 658 yards in his second season back in 2011. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL in the opening week this year. He should be ready for kickoff weekend of 2013.

Im a better GM than f***ing Jeff ireland. This is what i'd do as far as f**Ing NFL stuff goes. (1st)Bye mike wallace I traded for percy harvin (but 1st i traded down 20th with the bears to pick up a 2nd rounder so they can get lane johnson) I now have a ton of second day selections and AN AWESOME WR!!! (2nd) Sign sebastion volmer (pisses off the patriots and i fill a hole at tackle) (3rd) Sign dustin keller (One of the better moves ireland made) (4th) re-sign reggie bush 4 years 16 million (1 million more per year than lions with 4 million guarenteed) (5th) Sign O-line depth (6th) Restructure karlos dansbys contract to free up more cap space (7th) Sign brian hartline to a 4 year 20 million dollar contract with 5 million guarenteed (8th) Sign dumverville (Cameron wakes my only pass rusher I NEED THEM) (9th) re-sign matt moore (10th) Steal caldwell away from the ravens so he can become my QBs coach (11th) Re-sign sean smith (3 years 18 million) Hes a bit better than cary williams i beleive.... (12th) Draft a CB in round 2 (13th) trade down and pick up 2 4th rounders (14th) get a deal done randy starks (a good move by the drunk jeff ireland) (15th)Franchise jake long and trade him for a 2nd rounder That concludes my GM Duties (Dolphins fans wish i was ur GM? You better wish it IM NOT EVEN A F***ING DOLPHINS FAN) Oh and the numbering is in no specific order it just shows how many moves i make etc. oh and (16th) Get depth and find bodies for training camp etc. Im pretty sure i did better than jeff ireland... (Who is drunk) So vote me for GM of the soon to be fired jeff ireland (Mike wallace is the 3rd highest paid WR in the NFL) Thanks for reading GO RAVENS! Oh and my predicitons for jeff irelands dolphins? 7-9. My dolphins (Fake ones but this IS a better off season) 10-6 wildcard we beat the ravens in baltimore and lose in new england :( (im a ravens fan it pains me to say that but these dolphins are awesome) Oh and Ryan tannehill Explodes as an NFL QB throwing for 3500 yards 27 TDs. 15 INTs 4 rushing TDs and 5 RUshing fumbles.

Weird how he has Dwayne Bowe and Mike Wallace listed as the 2nd and 3rd best WR free agents and then rips them for how overrated they are. IS that a major contradiction or what? Why rank them so high if they are so horrible??? Make up your mind **tard!!!

I think you should edit your entry on Wes Welker. You mention him as being in his mid 30's. He's presently 31.

Huge fan of your site btw. Thank you for all the content.

I've been following this website for about 3 years now, and I have to say it has declined or I was just too young and naive to realized it wasn't good in the first place. You either say a player is overrated which you'll get right once in a blue moon and/or you reiterate what one of the analyst on ESPN or NFL Network say. I could probably do a better job, straight outta High School. Sorry bro, you're a clown

Let me see if I understand this every WR is either overrated, a solid #2 option or an injury concern. Good to know. I dont think we really know what Dwayne Bowe is or can be, he has played with some horrible QB's in each of his 5 seasons in the league and put up pretty good numbers with those QB's. Dwayne Bowe's QB's were: Damon Huard, Brodie Croyle, Tyler Thigpen, Matt Cassell, Tyler Palko, Kyle Orton and Brady Quinn. If he is overrated playing with those "fantastic" QB's what will he be playing with Alex Smith (if he stays), Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck or Drew Brees?
