5 Unsigned Vets and where should they go?

Adam Thielen

Age: 32

2022 Stats: Rec 70, YDS 716, TDS 6

Best Fit: Jets

Other Options: 49ers, Lions, Ravens

Thielen has proved that he still can produce in the NFL. Thielen played alongside two great receivers his whole career and can now do it a third time. Garrett Wilson did an amazing job last year, but he just was not enough. Adding another receiver like Thielen takes the pressure off him and also gives #12 another reason to come to New York.

Bobby Wagner

Age: 32

2022 Stats: TKs 140, Sacks 6, INTs 2

Best Fit: Steelers

Other Options: Seahawks, Cowboys, Chiefs

Just like Thielen, Wagner was released because of money, not performance. Wagner did not show his age last season and I think multiple teams are going to be eyeing him. Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers did not have someone to cover the middle and stop the run. Wagner can do both. With the Steelers planning to focus more on their offense, bringing in a cheap option that still can produce at a high level is the smart way to go.

Taylor Lewan

Age: 31

2022 Stats: Injured

Best Fit: Jets

Other Options: Steelers, Buccaneers, Chiefs

Despite not playing much last season, teams believe that the three-time pro bowler can still hold his own. The Jets are trying to get Aaron Rodgers and in order to get him they have to show that they can win the Super Bowl either this year or the next. Their defense is appealing, but the offense needs some work. Adding pass catchers and o-line pieces will most likely seal the deal. Having a proven vet like Lewan blocking for you may make him feel secured.

Shaquill Griffin

Age: 27

2022 Stats: Injured

Best Fit: Bears

Other Options: Seahawks, 49ers, Bengals

Griffin is coming off a big injury. Fortunately for Griffin Youth and history is on his side. Griffin is just 27 and he does not get injured often. The Bears recently acquired DJ Moore in a trade to get back into playoff contention. They added even more draft picks to their arsenal. However, they received most of those picks by trading away their defense. Pairing Griffin alongside Jaylon Johnson would provide an affordable and respectable duo.

Leonard Floyd

Age: 30

2022 Stats: TKs 59, Sacks 9

Best Fit: Seahawks

Other Options: Steelers, Ravens, Cowboys

Leonard Floyd is coming off a productive season. The Rams look like they are in re-building mode by Trading Jalen Ramsey and releasing both Wagner and Floyd. Going to the Seahawks will solidify their pass rush and make them even more of an all-around team.
