Predicting where the top 20 NFL free agents will land

Kenny Britt, wide receiver, Los Angeles Rams

Despite dealing with a disastrous quarterback situation in Los Angeles last season, Britt still found a way to put up the first 1,000-yard performance of his eight-year career. Some will be thrown off because it happened in a contract year. We’re here to say that the skepticism isn’t warranted. Britt had to catch passes from a raw Jared Goff and an overmatched Case Keenum in an NFC West that included two tough defenses in Arizona and Seattle. That justifies him being put in the top 20 here.

Likely in the second tier when it comes to money on the market, it doesn’t look like Britt will be returning to the Rams in 2017.

Though, the presence of former Rams wide receivers coach Mike Groh in Philadelphia could signal a reunion of sorts. While we already have the Eagles landing Terrelle Pryor, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the team sign two starter-caliber receivers in free agency. Outside of the connection with Groh, it sure looks like Philly is interested in Britt.

“The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to show interest in free-agent wide receiver Kenny Britt, according to league sources,” ESPN’s Tim McManus reported on Monday.

If the Eagles were to add two receivers of substance for Carson Wentz, the combination of Pryor and Britt would make a ton of sense. As to where Pryor could act as a deep threat, Britt himself would become the team’s top possession receiver — providing Wentz with consistency on third-down situations.
