2021 NFL Free Agent Landing Predictions

By: Jack McLane

 
 
 

QUARTERBACK:

Dak Prescott: Dallas Cowboys. I think Dak will resign on a smaller deal due to his ankle injury from the 2020-2021 NFL season.

Jacoby Brisset: Seattle Seahawks. I think the Seahawks will sign Jacoby on a 2 year deal, just in case they get a good offer for Russel Wilson who has shown he isn’t very happy with how things are going in Seattle

Cam Newton: New England. I think Cam is in a pretty good spot right now, he’s still a good quarterback and with almost the entire Patriots defense opting out last season due to covid, they should be a good team if they resign Cam and target Mac Jones in the draft.

Mitchell Trubisky: Chicago Bears. I think this is a poor decision to resign Mitch but when he plays well he looks like a pretty good quarterback, but then you have those games where he plays like its his first game in years.

Ryan Fitzpatrick: Miami Dolphins. I think Fitz is a really good quarterback but I think he likes being in Miami and Miami likes him even though Brian Flores is most likely going to keep Tua as the starter

 

RUNNING BACKS:

Kenyan Drake: Arizona Cardinals. This one was a really easy decision, he’s a good back with pretty good speed and a decent receiving ability and I think he should resign with this very talented Cardinals team.

Todd Gurley: Buffalo Bills. I think Todd Gurley should leave Atlanta and head somewhere like the Bills who have a bright future when the Falcons future is quite “blurry” and hard to predict with front office changes.

Mark Ingram: New England Patriots. This is something that may be shocking but I think the Patriots need more veteran talent and I believe that Ingram should not resign with Baltimore because they seem very happy with Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins.

Tevin Coleman: San Francisco 49ers. This one was kind of an easy decision, but I think that Coleman should be happy in San Francisco sharing the backfield with Raheem Mostert because they went to the super bowl only 2 years ago and just were plagued by injuries the entire year.

James White: Los Angeles Chargers. This one might be a confusing prediction, I think he should sign with the Chargers because I think Mark Ingram will sign in New England, and James White will want a lead role but Mark Ingram is a better player so he will leave.

 

WIDE RECEIVERS:

AJ Green: Los Angeles Rams. I think that Green isn’t very happy in Cincinnati with the Bengals drafting Tee Higgins in last years draft and I think the Rams will offer him something he can’t resist. Also, he would be playing with a veteran talent in Matthew Stafford and a top 3 defense in the league right now.

Marvin Jones: Miami Dolphins. I think Marvin Jones isn’t to excited with playing with Jared Goff and the lions right now and I think Miami should target him and add some good receivers to their roster.

Chris Godwin: New England Patriots. I think that this is a really easy decision, the Patriots don’t have many good receivers and if they target Mac Jones in the draft they need to get him as many weapons as possible.

Allen Robinson: San Francisco 49ers. This one is extremely easy, the Bears have a bad quarterback situation and Allen Robinson is fed up. I think he should and will go to the 49ers and play with a new quarterback, this will only happen if the 49ers find a way to get Deshaun Watson.

Will Fuller: Green Bay Packers. The packers have been trying to target Will Fuller for a while now and with the Houston Texans falling apart Will Fuller will most likely want to leave and I hate to say this as a Lions fan but who wouldn’t want to play with Aaron Rodgers.

 
 

TIGHT ENDS:

Hunter Henry: New England Patriots. I strongly believe that Bill Belicheck and Robert Kraft want to win now and they need as many weapons as possible and tight end is not one of their strengths.

Jared Cook: Seattle Seahawks. This one may come as a shock but the Seahawks don’t really have a decent tight end right now and I believe Cook should leave with the retirement of Drew Brees and the Saints future blurry.

Jonnu Smith: Tennessee Titans. This one is really easy, when your team is good and you played amazing all year with a good quarterback in Ryan Tannehill, leaving just seems silly.

Rob Gronkowski: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This one is easy, the Gronk won’t play for any other quarterback than Tom Brady. No explanation needed.

Gerald Everett: Los Angeles Rams. I think Everett will resign with the Rams due to the fact he would be playing with a great quarterback, Matthew Stafford.

 

OFFENSIVE LINE:

Trent Williams, LT: San Francisco 49ers. This one is pretty simple, Trent Williams is an amazing tackle and the 49ers would be stupid to not resign him. The only logical explanation for not resigning him is if they want to trade up in the draft and take Penei Sewell or Rashawn Slater.

Joe Thuney, LG: Seattle Seahawks. This one may come as a shock but I think Seattle who has a terrible offensive line should sign a very strong and consistent guard like Thuney.

Maurkice Pouncey, C: Washington Football Team. I think the Washington Football team has a very bright future and not a great center and Pouncey is a good player and they will target him in FA.

Brandon Scherff, RG: Washington Football Team. I think Scherff will resign with Washington to build a strong offensive line with Maurkice Pouncey and a bright future.

Taylor Moton, RT: New York Jets. I think that Moton should and will sign with the jets because they have a bright future with draft picks and cap space.

 

DEFENSIVE LINE:

Ndamokung Suh: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This one is really simple, Suh played well this year next to Vita Vea as the Buccaneers won a super bowl this year with a really strong defense that involved Suh.

Shaquil barrett: New York Jets. I think the Jets should really target Barrett as he lead the league in sacks just two years ago and they have some cap space to target a great player like him

Leonard Williams: Oakland Raiders. I think Williams should sign with Oakland because they have a good future and the Raiders need some pass rush.

Derek Wolfe: New York Jets. Although it is likely Wolfe will resign with Baltimore, I think the Jets should sign Wolfe to go side by side with Shaquil barrett.

Lawrence Guy: New England Patriots. I think the Patriots will and should resign Lawrence Guy because he is a great player and the Patriots are on the uprise after a mediocre season.

 

LINEBACKERS:

Lavonte David: Arizona Cardinals. I think Arizona should target David because he is a great linebacker and with Arizona signing J.J. Watt I think Arizona’s defense could be lethal.

Neville Hewitt: New York Jets. I think the Jets should resign Hewitt as he is a good player and the Jets are on the Uprise.

Anthony Walker Jr: Detroit Lions. I think Detroit should sign Walker Jr because he is a really good player and Detroit has little to no future.

Alex Anzalone: Los Angeles Rams. I think that Anzalone is a good player and the Rams should sign him and be lethal in all categories of defense next season.

Ben Niemann: Kansas City Chiefs. I think Niemann is a pretty good player and the Chiefs should resign him and keep their team the same.

 
 

SECONDARY:

Anthony Harris: Baltimore Ravens. I think Anthony Harris is a good player and should and will sign with the Ravens because the Ravens are a top 5 defense and adding safety help would be lethal.

Marcus Maye: New York Jets. I think Marcus Maye is a good safety and he should resign as the Jets like I have said countless times, have a really good future.

Patrick Peterson: Arizona Cardinals. This one is not really shocking, the Cardinals just signed J.J. Watt and their defense if even better so it is silly for the Cardinals not to resign Peterson or for Peterson not to resign.

J.C. Jackson: New England Patriots. I think Jackson had a breakout year and the Patriots should quickly resign him.

Xavier Rhodes: Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles I think will be a good team with the sixth overall pick in the draft this year and adding Xavier Rhodes makes this team amazing with a secondary of Darius Slay and Xavier Rhodes.

 

KICKERS:

Matt Prater: Detroit Lions. Prater is a great kicker and is happy in Detroit so I think he will resign.

Dustin Hopkins: Washington Football Team. I think Hopkins will resign happily.

Zane Gonzales: Los Angeles Rams. I think that the Cardinals will not resign Gonzales because he missed a couple crucial field goals this year and they can target someone in the draft.

Younghoe Koo: Atlanta Falcons. I think Koo is the best kicker in the league right now and I think he will most definitely resign.

Ryan Succop: Cleveland Browns. Ever since the double doink I don’t think Cody Parkey has been the same so I think Cleveland has a good amount of cap space so they should sign Succop for more money a kicker should get to really get him over in Cleveland.

 

PUNTERS:

Jack Fox: Detroit Lions. Fox is a great punter and after a pro bowl in Detroit I think he will stay and resign.

Pat O’Donnell: Chicago Bears. I think O’Donnell is a good punter and will resign with the Bears.

Ty Long: Los Angeles Chargers. Ty Long is a decent punter and the Chargers should resign him.
