Just for chit's & giggles.. lets see how this pff FA prediction works out ? ?‍️ https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2021-free-agency-top-100-free-agents

47. WR MARVIN JONES JR.

Kenny Golladay is not the only Lions wide receiver headed to free agency, but the team won’t be as hard-pressed to retain Jones, who will be 31 years old before the 2021 league year begins on March 17. Jones has been incredibly consistent, grading between 71.0 and 76.0 in each of his last six seasons. Jones is still a capable Z wide receiver on the outside opposite a true X, but he has also seen his snaps from the slot increase steadily each season, which could perhaps make him more attractive to potential suitors if there are concerns about his game not aging well.

Jones has solid hands (only dropped more than four passes once in a season) and some juice after the catch. He should still be a capable addition to a lot of receiving corps in the league. He isn’t a true mismatch weapon or a No. 1 receiver, but he can still provide a lot of value.

Prediction: Browns sign Jones for three years, $27 million ($9M APY): $16.5 million total guaranteed, $12.5 million fully guaranteed at signing.

100. WR RASHARD HIGGINS

A lack of blazing speed and elite measurables means that Higgins is typically overlooked for superior athletes, but he’s a player who has typically produced well when given an opportunity for a bigger role within an offense. And he has a knack for getting open.

With Odell Beckham Jr. getting hurt this season, Higgins earned more playing time for the Browns and responded with new career-high marks in yards and yards per reception. When throwing the ball in the direction of Higgins, Baker Mayfield had a passer rating of 126.1 despite badly missing him in the end zone for a touchdown on one occasion. At 26, Higgins represents an interesting option after the top receivers in the market are gone, though citations for drag racing will raise questions over maturity.

Contract Analysis: Higgins was finally thrust into a starting role following the loss of Odell Beckham Jr. in Week 7. From Week 7-17, Higgins was the 28th-ranked wide receiver out of the 146 who played at least 100 snaps over that stretch. He’ll get a chance to continue his free agency audition playing in the Browns’ first playoff game since 2002.

Prediction: Titans sign Higgins for two years, $10 million ($5M APY): $5.5 million total guaranteed, $4 million fully guaranteed at signing.

Any other FA team predictions? I don't see neither of these^^ happening..

I guess that faux pas of a defensive call at the end of the half, and his defenses inability to stop Brady from running out the clock at the end of that game was a breaking point.  (However, I could swear he was getting a lot of praises all year long for his defense)

The Cleveland Browns have themselves a top-10 overall quarterback. Baker Mayfield proved he belongs in that lofty turf with a very impressive 2020 season.

Mayfield’s strong first season under head coach Kevin Stefanski wound up lifting No. 6 into the top 10 passing grades as determined by Pro Football Focus. Mayfield graded out with a passing grade of 81.6, which places him 10th in the NFL in PFF throwing scores. Sandwiched between Matt Ryan and Kirk Cousins, Mayfield’s passing graded out higher than some notable other QBs including Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, Drew Brees and Matthew Stafford.

A lower grade on fumbling and running drops Mayfield out of the overall top 10 quarterback scores for 2020. He finished 13th overall in his third season. In 2019, Mayfield graded out 17th as a passer and 15th overall among QBs who took at least 50 percent of their team’s snaps.

Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Deshaun Watson earned the top three passing grades. Sam Darnold, Nick Mullens and Carson Wentz were at the bottom of PFF’s grading.

Problem facing Eagles and Rams is that they ran to resign their QB's whose performance promptly became abysmal.. Ravens resigning Jackson anyway

Here is to hoping that that will cripple that team.
