Notable Free Agent Wide Receivers

Vincent Jackson: The Chargers star had a great year, his third 1,000 yard one to be exact. His injuries have kept the Chargers from signing him long-term, but the stats speak for themselves. He won't be "bolting" out of San Diego anytime soon.

Wes Welker: Butterfinger jokes aside, the Patriots receiver had another phenomenal year in 2011 except for the dropped Super Bowl pass. He will be in New England in 2012.

Reggie Wayne: The Colts star struggled like the rest of the team, but should remain in 2012, though many expect him gone.

DeSean Jackson: The Giants' foe had a strong year in 2011, but is unhappy about his current deal and wanted an extension last season. The disasterous season for Philly probably put the nail in the coffin for a DeSean-Philly return.

Stevie Johnson: The Bills extended QB Fitz and RB Freddy Jackson in part to allow them to focus solely on Stevie this offseason. He works extremely well with Fitzpatrick, but was also seeking an extention last season, but talks broke down. He CANNOT be lost in free agency!!!!

Mario Manningham: He had a quiet season save for his Tyree-esque catch in the Superbowl, partly due to injuries, but still managed a solid year. He MUST be retained! (Do you hear me Jerry?!)

Ruvell Martin and Roscoe Parrish: May return, but with the money commanded by Stevie, as well as their "expendability" as is probably seen by GM Buddy Nix, they are not locks for the 2012 roster.

Domenik Hixon: I cannot see both him and Manningham on the Giants in 2012. He is the odd man out.

Braylon Edwards: He only played half of a season (if that), but can be a solid second or third option on a contending team.

Devin Thomas: Will return to the G-Men in 2012.

Plaxico Burress: Kiss him goodbye, New York. The former Giant turned Jet will not be in New York AT ALL in 2012.

Deion Branch: The former Superbowl MVP should return to New England. He probably won't however.

Derek Hagan: Will not return to Oakland.

Steve Smith: Back in Blue? (Pretty Please, Mr. Reese?)

Jerricho Cotchery: The former Jet will not be in Pittsburgh in 2012. His window of opportunity may be closing if he can't remain healthy and put up solid numbers.
