DeSean Jackson, Wide Receiver

Prediction: Cincinnati Bengals ($42M Cap Space)

2nd Option: Philadelphia Eagles ($10M Cap Space)

A wide receiver duo of A.J. Green and DeSean Jackson would be a nightmare for defensive backfields across the league. The Bengals need to find another pass-catching threat to help take pressure off Green and Jackson would fit the bill.

There has been plenty of talk about Jackson wanting to return to the Philadelphia Eagles. It makes sense because the Eagles need playmakers to help the development of Carson Wentz. The issue is they have limited cap space and need to move some contracts to create room.

Johnathan Hankins, Defensive Tackle

Prediction: Denver Broncos ($42M Cap Space)

2nd Option: New Orleans Saints ($30M Cap Space)

Johnathan Hankins is an underrated player who was ascending until he suffered an injury last year. He was overshadowed by Damon Harrison, but was a significant part of the New York Giants success until his injury.

The Denver Broncos are looking for someone to replace Sylvester Williams who they allowed to hit the open market. Hankins would be a solid replacement and do a lot of the same things that Williams did along the defensive line.

New Orleans appears to be committed to fixing their defense and could take a step in the right direction by signing Hankins. A defensive tackle duo of Hankins and Sheldon Rankins would be a nice one-two punch.
