Scout.com: Updated Best Available Free Agents-Offense
About what you would expect at this point of the season, JAG soup and a bunch of mental cases.
Not sure any are better or worse than Galloway, although some of them have return skills which could be an asset. Imagine Marvin Harrison playing for the Pats? How weird would that be?
I guess I would rather take a shot with one of the younger guys that stick with a washed up has been like Galloway.
Wide Receiver
Marvin Harrison - Turns 37 soon and it's questionable if he can still start after having knee problems in recent years.
D.J. Hackett - When healthy, a solid option for a West Coast offensive team. Worked out for the Titans recently.
Jerry Porter - Big receiver who still has some productive years left. Worked out for the Titans recently.
Dexter Jackson (KR) - Former second-round pick of the Buccaneers. Was highly touted before the 2008 draft, but struggled to learn the Tampa Bay offense. Recently visited the Panthers.
Amani Toomer - Possible No. 3 WR at this point in his career.
Reggie Williams - Talented, but troubled receiver who may have a hard time finding a job any time soon. His two-game suspension is over, however.
Matt Jones - Started to realize his potential last season, but off-the-field issues are to blame for him being a free agent. Worked out for the Tennessee Titans recently.
Ronald Curry - No. 4 receiver at this point in his career.
