Top-5 free agent receivers for the Tennessee Titans, ranked by 2019 snaps
By Will Lomas
I think Thomas is the free agent wide receiver that no one is paying attention to right now, but who could make a real impact for a team during the 2020 NFL season.
If Thomas still wants to play in the NFL after starting the last four seasons with whatever QB the Denver Broncos were trying to pass off as acceptable, and Sam Darnold, then more power to him. That tells me that he truly loves football because those are some terrible options.
Excluding his rookie season, Thomas has been an above-average receiver at his lowest, averaging at least 12 yards per catch in 7 of 9 seasons, including last year. Even though he has an issue with drops, he generally is more good than bad and if you want a receiver that has the size and the athleticism to threaten defenses in different ways, then Thomas is a good option.
The Titans could use another receiver who can scare defenses on screens, and he is one of the few “big” receivers left on the market and if the Titans want to replace Tajae Sharpe’s usage in the redzone and as a 3rd down target, then that is a good thing to have.
