Mason's top 10 wide receiver free agents

After going 10-6 and reaching the AFC Championship Game without Robinson, who suffered a torn ACL in the regular-season opener last year, the Jaguars might figure they can function fine without him. That might be true, but if he departs, the ceiling of their offense will remain low, as they are unlikely to find another vertical threat like Robinson, who racked up 2,283 yards and 20 touchdowns on 153 receptions in the 2015-16 seasons. At just 24 years of age, Robinson should have plenty of productive years in front of him, and could be even more productive in an offense that unleashes him a bit more than Jacksonville's did during his four years there.

The Seahawks are in a fascinating place right now, based on the moves that appear to be in play for them heading into free agency. Do they feel that Richardson is a part of their future? They can afford to keep him after he set career highs in receptions (44), yards (703) and touchdowns (6). The 183-pound former Colorado standout finally had the chance to show his deep-threat ability, and he responded by averaging 16.0 yards per catch last season. He could be in a similar position as Emmanuel Sanders was at the same point of his career in 2014: ready to blossom with a change of scenery. (Ryan Kang via AP)

Brown, who was emerging as one of the NFL's most explosive young targets in his first two seasons before being slowed down the last two years by hamstring and turf-toe injuries and issues at quarterback for the team. Brown missed six games last year and finished with career lows in receptions (21) and yards (299), just two years removed from his 65-catch, 1,003-yard season. The decline of Carson Palmer contributed to his struggles, but health is a huge concern for the 179-pound Brown. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin)

The Rams' decision to place the franchise tag on safety LaMarcus Joyner sprung Watkins onto the market after just one season in Southern California. It was no surprise; while Watkins had a knack for the big play -- scoring once every 4.9 receptions -- he wasn't consistently productive, finishing with two or fewer receptions in half of the 16 games he played last season -- including a playoff loss to Atlanta. His ceiling is high, but consistent production continues to elude him. (Ryan Kang via AP)

Lee helped keep the Jaguars offense on track after Allen Robinson's injury last year, and although he lacks Robinson's stretch-the-field capability, he is valuable. His blocking ability makes him a good fit for the Jaguars offense if they choose to re-sign him, especially after opting to bypass placing the franchise tag on Robinson. (Paul Spinelli via AP)

It is probably not a coincidence that the 2014 draft pick's production began to stall and slip as the Colts' offensive struggles multiplied in the last two seasons. Moncrief had more yards and receptions in 2015 alone than he did in the last two seasons combined. Injuries played a role, as he missed seven games in 2016 and four in 2017. His potential as a vertical threat also has not been tapped as often as initially expected. (AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack)

The Bears were counting on Meredith to build off of his breakthrough 2016 season, but those plans went awry when he tore his ACL at Tennessee in the preseason last August. Meredith should be back by the regular season, and if he can pick up where he left off, he should easily become a solid 1,000-yard receiver, having come close to that milestone in 2016 despite Chicago's offensive shortcomings.

The return of Julian Edelman from a torn ACL does not make Amendola expendable, but it does mean that the Patriots can cushion the blow if he departs after five seasons in which he averaged 46 receptions and 477 yards per season, including 61 catches for 659 yards last year. He doesn't bring downfield explosiveness; he hasn't made a play longer than 32 yards in the last two years. However, he is a steady target who could be particularly valuable to a team breaking in a new quarterback who could use help from a reliable short-area target. (Damian Strohmeyer via AP)

Nothing clicked for Pryor with the Redskins last year, as he played in just nine games, starting two, and only caught 20 passes for 240 yards and a touchdown. There will be some interest in him on the market, but if he does not rebound this year, his 2016 season -- in which he amassed 1,007 receiving yards for the Browns -- will look like an anomaly for the ex-quarterback.

With a touchdown and 106 yards on eight catches in the Titans' two postseason games, Decker showed a spark that seemed to be lost at times during the last two seasons. At one point in 2017, Decker failed to reach even 40 receiving yards in six consecutive games. Decker hasn't had a 1,000-yard season since 2015, but with injuries and other offensive issues -- including the Titans' scheme in 2017 -- coming to bear, it's fair to expect him to be more productive in a different environment. A return to Tennessee, which will alter its scheme this year, isn't out of the question and could do the trick. (Todd Rosenberg via AP)
