#3 WR Allen Robinson ll (Chicago Bears)

Chicago wideout, Allen Robinson ll managed to chalk up 1,250-yards and 6 'tuddies' on the year, and that's despite the fact he played in a disjointed Bears offense that struggled to throw the ball for most of the season (3,925 passing yards; 22/32 in NFL). To put it simply, Robinson will be hot-property in free agency. He's that good.

The Bears boardroom has work to do to ensure the franchise starts the 2021-22 campaign under the salary cap, so, likely, Robinson moves on. Miami Dolphins are reportedly keen to bring him to Florida, but I could personally see him linking up with Ron Rivera in Washington, bolstering a receiving corps overly-reliant on the outstanding rookie, Terry McLaurin.

#2 WR Chris Godwin (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

Wild Card Round - Tampa Bay Buccaneers v Washington Football Team

He may have dropped a surefire TD pass from Brady during the Buccaneers incredible victory down in the Bayou on Sunday, but in his first 3 seasons in Tampa red, Chris Godwin mishandled just 4 passes on route to 2,740 yards in total, meaning he is about as reliable a pair of mitts as you are likely to find in the NFL.

Given he is currently catching passes from the GOAT (Tom Brady) and operating in a locker room containing the likes of Antonio Brown and Mike Evans, Godwin is unlikely to want out of Tampa just yet; I can't see him actively pushing for a move; not with the Buccs right on the doorstep of glory. More likely is that Bruce Arians' sees him as a vital part of the Buccaneers Super Bowl-winning jigsaw and hits him with a one year tag.


#1 Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys)

It was all meant to be so different for Dak Prescott in 2020: the talented Cowboy's QB was meant to sign a new contract, but had to settle for a franchise tag; the Cowboys were expected to win the Super Bowl but finished third in the NFL's weakest division, the NFC East, and Dak was supposed to be the man to get them to that Super Bowl, but instead, he suffered a compound fracture of his right ankle during the wk-5 test against NY Giants and went on to miss the remainder of the season.

Most expect Cowboys' billionaire owner, Jerry Jones, to either sign Dak up on a $35 million per year contract or to slap another franchise tag on his star QB. I'm less convinced: you don't get to become a billionaire without having a ruthless streak, and there's a chance that the uncertainty regarding Dak's complete rehabilitation from that fractured ankle could spell the end for him in Dallas.

This is just my 2 cents' worth, but if Dak does go off wandering, he could do a lot worse than returning to his home state of Louisiana to play under Sean Payton at the Saints.

(yes, I'm a Saints fan).
