NFL Free Agency: Run on WRs entering week 2 but strong talent remains
· Yahoo Sports
Week two of NFL free agency opened with wide receivers flying around the league. The week began with Texans WR Christian Kirk signing with the 49ers. Then former Chiefs WR Maquise 'Hollywood' Brown signed with the Eagles and former Titans receiver Van Jefferson signing on with the Commanders.

The biggest news, however, was in a trade with the Broncos making a big splash, acquiring Jaylen Waddle from the Dolphins in a trade that sent the Broncos pick at 30 overall in the first round to Miami.
Not many wide receivers switched teams early in free agency. The only names of note were Mike Evans signing on with the 49ers and Romeo Doubs heading to the Patriots.
The Raiders dipped their toe in the market as well, signing former Vikings WR Jalen Nailor. But they need more help than that and with the likes of Waddle entering the division, they should be making a push to sign more talent before all is said and done.
The market still has a great deal of talented receivers, including several former Pro Bowlers.
1. Jauan Jennings (29) -- He had a career-high nine touchdowns this past season. And had career highs in catches (77) and yards (975) the year prior.
2. Deebo Samuel (30) -- While his 1400-yard season in 2021 is seeming more and more like an outlier for him, he has always been productive, including averaging more than 750 yards and five touchdowns over the past three seasons.
3. Stefon Diggs (32) -- With the exception of his injury-shortened 2024 season, Diggs has had over 1000 yards in every season since 2018. Including last season.
4. Keenan Allen (34) -- The ageless wonder. Still plenty productive and as reliable as ever. A quarterback's best friend.
5. DeAndre Hopkins (34) -- It's probably time for the three-time All Pro to seriously consider hanging up his cleats. But if he still wants to play, someone should give him a shot.
