2026 NFL Free Agents: Wide Receiver

George Pickens is one of the most talented receivers in the NFL, and he’s only 25. The issue is that he can be a major headache in the locker room.

Mike Evans tends to get injured a lot, especially now that he’s in his mid-30s, but he has shown that he can still perform at a high level.

Alec Pierce was known as just an inconsistent deep threat before 2025, but he became so much more last year.

Rashid Shaheed was an explosive receiver with the Saints. He never fully transitioned with the Seahawks, but he served as an explosive kick returner.

Jauan Jennings has had some big games over the past two years, but he’s been an inconsistent producer.

Wan’Dale Robinson became more than a PPR scam slot receiver last year.

Deebo Samuel is still a dynamic weapon, but at 30, he’ll be set to decline soon. He also has an extensive injury history.

Romeo Doubs is coming off a solid year in which he was much more consistent. He has shown the ability to have some big games.

Christian Kirk was quiet for most of the year, but had a huge performance in the playoff win against the Steelers. He has a long injury history.

Kendrick Bourne had some nice performances when Mac Jones was quarterbacking, but at 31, Bourne is entering the twilight of his career.

Jalen Nailor had a big game down the stretch that could cause him to receive a larger contract than what he’s worth.

Calvin Austin has been an inconsistent deep threat for the Steelers.

Tyquan Thornton made some big plays downfield for Kansas City last year, but mostly struggled to connect with Patrick Mahomes.
