Randall Cobb

Height: 5-10
Weight: 192 lbs.
Age: 24

2014 Stats: 91 receptions, 1,287 receiving yards, 12 touchdowns

The Packers will likely do their best to re-sign Randall Cobb before he gets to free agency, but this is a team that has made the tough decisions and let their players move on before. That's extremely unlikely to happen with Cobb, who's played a significant role in the Packers' recent success, but he'll have teams lining up with offers if he remains unsigned on March 10.

Potential Landing Spots: Packers, Raiders, Eagles

Jeremy Maclin

Height: 6-0
Weight: 198 lbs.
Age: 26

2014 Stats: 85 receptions, 1,318 receiving yards, 10 touchdowns

Maclin is another impending free-agent receiver that should force his current team do everything in its power to keep him, but it seems quite possible that he at least reaches the open market. With so many teams desperate for wide receiver help, the Eagles could conceivably be outbid.

Potential Landing Spots: Eagles, Jaguars, Chiefs, Browns, Panthers

Michael Crabtree

Height: 6-1
Weight: 214 lbs.
Age: 27

2014 Stats: 68 receptions, 698 receiving yards, 4 touchdowns

Of the many high-level free agents at the wide receiver position, Crabtree is the first who appears all but guaranteed to be playing with a new team in 2015. Though he's never been much of a deep threat, Crabtree's underneath route-running ability will have plenty of teams vying for his services.   

Potential Landing Spots: Ravens, Bengals, Jets

Torrey Smith

Height: 6-0
Weight: 205 lbs.
Age: 26

2014 Stats: 49 receptions, 767 receiving yards, 11 touchdowns

As much as the Ravens will miss his presence in an already-thin receiving corps, Smith could benefit from a change of scenery more so than any other free agent at the position. Smith can help a number of teams in need of an established deep threat, and he should receive some fairly sizable long-tern contract offers as a result.

Potential Landing Spots: Panthers, Chiefs, Raiders, Bengals

Cecil Shorts

Height: 6-0
Weight: 202 lbs.
Age: 27

2014 Stats: 53 receptions, 557 yards, 1 touchdown

Shorts has struggled through injuries over the course of his career, but his talent should generate considerable interest when the first tier of receivers come off the market. A short-term, incentive-laden deal is the most likely scenario here.

Potential Landing Spots: Browns, Jets, Eagles

Kenny Britt

Height: 6-3
Weight: 223 lbs.
Age: 26

2014 Stats: 48 receptions, 748 receiving yards, 3 touchdowns

Though Britt has yet to reach his potential at the NFL level, his physical ability at just 26 years old will continue to give him opportunities to do so. In the right offense, Britt could become a fairly productive big-play receiver.

Potential Landing Spots: Seahawks, Vikings, Chargers

Eddie Royal

Height: 5-10
Weight: 185 lbs.
Age: 28

2014 Stats: 62 receptions, 778 receiving yards, 7 touchdowns

While Royal may be overlooked as a part of this talented group, his experience and production as a slot receiver is still highly valuable. Returning to San Diego would make sense given the recent success he's had with Philip Rivers, but several other teams should also enter the bidding.

Potential Landing Spots: Chargers, Bengals, Chiefs
