2025 NFL Free Agents: Wide Receiver

Tee Higgins is the best No. 2 receiver in the NFL, but he would be a No. 1 on many teams.

Chris Godwin was having a great season when he broke his ankle playing in garbage time. He’s still young enough to rebound.

Davante Adams is 32, so he’s not the same, dominant receiver he once was. However, he was still able to perform on a high level last year.

Keenan Allen got off to a slow start last year with some odd weight issues, but was a big producer down the stretch.

Amari Cooper had some dud performances down the stretch. He’s 31, but happens to be a great route runner, so he should be able to play well in the coming years.

Stefon Diggs has been on the decline the past couple of years. Now, he’s coming off a torn ACL.

Marquise Brown missed most of 2024 with a shoulder injury, but was able to contribute at the end of the year.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine was a touchdown machine for the Titans last year.

Darius Slayton has had some big games when he’s served as the top receiver on the Giants.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling made some huge plays last year when paired with Derek Carr.

Zay Jones was productive recently, but dealt with a suspension last year and then never emerged on his new team.

Greg Dortch had always improved each year – until last season. It’s unclear why he didn’t take the next step, but he’s still young.

Mike Williams had predictable struggles coming off a torn ACL. He should do better in 2025.

Josh Palmer made some big plays in relief of some injured receivers in 2023, but was a disappointment last year.

Diontae Johnson is a very talented receiver, but he also happens to be a major headcase.

Demarcus Robinson has emerged as a viable tertiary target for Matthew Stafford, particularly in the end zone.

It was shocking that the Broncos cut Tim Patrick. The Lions were able to benefit from Patrick’s strong play. Unfortunately for Patrick, he’s 31 and has an extensive injury history.

Olamide Zaccheaus had some nice performances down the stretch last year.

Dyami Brown showed nice potential with some big games late in the year, including a huge performance against the Lions in the playoffs.

Noah Brown was having a solid season before missing the second half of the year with a kidney injury.

DeAndre Hopkins had some nice performances for the Chiefs, but did nothing in many others. He’s well past his prime.

Tyler Lockett’s talent has been sapped by his age, but he could still have one more half-decent season remaining.

It’s no surprise that there wasn’t a market for Cooper Kupp prior to his release. He looked washed last year and it would be surprising if he were to revert to pre-2024 form, given his age.

Elijah Moore is a solid slot receiver, but has never lived up to the high expectations.
