KC Chiefs: Ranking likely free agent options at wide receiver

7. Keelan Cole, New York Jets

This is another cheap option. Keelan Cole is far from an elite player. In fact, he is likely the number three receiver for many teams. Further, his career has been spent with the Jets and Jaguars, so it is hard to truly evaluate his ability. That being said, he seems like what Andy Reid might want as his “X” receiving option. He has a natural ability for finding soft spots in zone coverage. While he does not have blazing speed, he is gifted in his ability to quickly change direction.

8. James Washington, Pittsburgh Steelers

This one is personally intriguing to me. James Washington has never known a time that he was higher than the third receiver on the depth chart. Pittsburgh was willing to spend a second-round pick on him in 2018, but his rise to stardom never fully happened. With a fresh start, James Washington might emerge as an excellent number two wide receiver in Kansas City.

9. Adam Humphries, Washington Commanders

Adam Humphries was once considered one of the best slot receivers in the game. After signing with the Tennessee Titans and the Washington Football Team, he saw his numbers take a dive. With that in mind, one must consider the offenses and quarterbacks Humphries worked with. Mahomes would be an excellent person to team up with if you wanted to get your career back on track.

10. Allen Robinson, Chicago Bears

Just last year analysts were discussing Allen Robinson as though he were one of the top five receivers in the game. After a lackluster year with Chicago, it is hard to tell just what his market may be. It seems as though he will likely still make a lot of money. While he would be a perfect fit with the Kansas City Chiefs, it will probably be a hard job to make the money work; However, you can’t really count anyone out when it comes to Brett Veach.
