Our\nfirst, and only, sure-fire Hall of Famer shows up on the final\nsection of the list. I\u2019ll toss in a few honorable mentions before I\nwrap it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.\nJASON WITTEN, UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2019:\n63 catches, 529 yards, four touchdowns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witten\ncame back to the Dallas Cowboys in 2019 after wasting a year of his\nlife and ours in the Monday Night Football broadcast booth. Not that\nmoving Booger McFarlane from his Matster Blaster roving toilet was an\nimprovement, but no one complained that Witten wanted to play\nfootball again. Especially the Dallas Cowboys. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witten\nis going to the Hall of Fame and the only question surrounding it is\nif his bust will be wearing his MNF toupee. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where\nhe should end up: Dallas Cowboys<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\ncan\u2019t imagine Witten suiting up for any other team and even though\nthere\u2019s rumblings he might be willing to shop himself around, I\ndon\u2019t buy it. One problem Dallas didn\u2019t have last season was\noffensive skill players and while they really need to look in the\ndraft for a long-term replacement, there\u2019s no reason to let Witten\nwalk away if he still wants to work on Sundays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike\nMcCarthy didn\u2019t deserve this head coaching job and the Cowboys made\na huge mistake in hiring him. That being said, he\u2019s hopefully smart\nenough (and he might not be) to want to keep what\u2019s good about the\nteam he\u2019s been unjustly handed in place. Witten has already proven\nto himself he shouldn\u2019t be in the broadcast booth. Dallas needs to\nkeep him on the field as long as they can, then move him to the\nsideline as a coach when he\u2019s finally ready to hang up his spurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.\nDARREN FELLS, UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2019:\n34 catches, 341 yards, seven touchdowns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fells\nhad the best season of his life in 2019 after spending most of his\ncareer as a journeyman second option at the position. It still\nprobably wasn\u2019t enough to land him a long-term job with the Houston\nTexans, though they could look to bring him back as their No. 2. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nreality, Fells will likely suit up for his fifth NFL team in 2020 and\nearn his fourth consecutive one-year deal. Fells is 33, which seems\nold for a guy that just entered the league in 2014, but in spite of\ngetting passed around the NFL like a joint in Josh Gordon\u2019s man\ncave, he\u2019s taken a starting job at every stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where\nhe should end up: Cincinnati Bengals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nBengals are losing Tyler Eifert and don\u2019t really have anyone on the\nroster that can replace him. Fells would be a transitional player for\nthem, offering a reliable third down and red zone target for\nguaranteed No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nperception, at least, is that this is a weak TE draft class coming up\nin April. I\u2019m not sure about that, but Cincinnati can\u2019t take any\nchances at a position a young QB needs as a security blanket. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a solid drop in production after the Top 7 I\u2019ve listed here, but there\u2019s still some quality players available. Charles Clay, Lance Kendricks, Luke Willson and Nick Vannett have all been solid performers at the NFL level and should continue to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
