Wide Receivers

  • Michael Thomas
  • Ted Ginn
  • Tre’Quan Smith
  • Austin Carr
  • Simmie Cobbs Jr.

Micahel Thomas got paid this offseason and rightfully so as he has put up insane numbers since coming into the league in 2016. Ginn is a veteran who can still stretch the field as the WR2. Smith, Carr, and Cobbs Jr. will all battle for the third receiver spot and likely all rotate in that role. Especially early in the season.
