We\u2019ve already placed our top two available wide receivers with their best fits<\/a> (one old and one new team). Now it\u2019s time to roll through Nos. 3 and 4 as we sift through the available free agent wide receivers of the 2020 offseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. JOSH GORDON, UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2019: 27 catches, 426 yards, one touchdown<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gordon is, of course, currently under indefinite suspension, but since those never really last for any athlete other than Pete Rose, he should end up with another shot this season. Whether he can make the most of it, and the NFL loses its draconian and downright stupid prohibition of marijuana, who can say? My guess is the new collective bargaining agreement will remove the pot ban completely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Gordon was hit with positive PED test too, but who even knows what that was? It could have just been a masking agent, trying to cover up the THC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, Gordon will likely have the opportunity to revive his incredibly odd career somewhere, either four or eight games into the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where he should end up: Chicago Bears<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one in the NFL needs a dad as a head coach more than Gordon, but there\u2019s just no space on teams with said dad coaches, or he\u2019s already been suspended or cut from teams with those paternal head guys (the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks). If I\u2019m the Seahawks, I look hard at bringing him back, but the Bears should be desperate for elite wide receiver help. This is a make or break year for quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and Gordon could be the difference in an NFC North championship and a Top 10 pick in the draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. EMMANUEL SANDERS, UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2019: 66 catches, 869 yards, five touchdowns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanders came over to the San Francisco 49ers in a deadline trade from the Denver Broncos and was a key reason they were able to take the NFC West and make it to the Super Bowl. Sanders is a solid No. 2 receiver that was forced to take the role as a No. 1 on a Niners team that just didn\u2019t have that guy on the roster. They need to look to fix that in the offseason, probably in the draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanders is a good, productive player that\u2019s smart enough to pick up an offense in a hurry. He won\u2019t be a gamechanger for any team, but he\u2019d automatically be an upgrade over plenty of No. 2 outside wideouts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where he should end up: San Francisco 49ers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanders and Kendrick Bourne were two of San Francisco\u2019s three starting receivers this season and both are free agents. They could lose one, but can\u2019t afford to lose both. They should actively try to lose neither. Keeping Sanders is a classic \u201cif it ain\u2019t broke don\u2019t fix it\u201d solution to the Niner\u2019s wide receiver issues. Yes, they need a gamebreaker and should aim for one in April\u2019s draft, but they can\u2019t take any chances with what they already have (or did have) on the roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We move on to Nos. 5-7 in Part 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
