Miami - locks – Earnest Wilford, Ted Ginn Jr.
Probables – Derek Hagan, Greg Camarillo, Tab Perry
Other options – David Kircus, Davone Bess
No options here. The Dolphins might have the worst group of WRs in the league. Parcells did add some size to this group, but it still lacks talent. Camarillo’s game winning catch against Baltimore was easily the most angering non-bills football play I have ever witnessed. He might be my least favortie player in the league. 0-16 would have been a dream come true.

NY Jets – locks – Lav Coles, Jerrico Cotchery, Brad Smith, Marcus Henry
probables - Chansi Stuckey
other options – David Clowney, Chris Davis
Again, no options at all. Is Marcus Henry really the long term replacement for Coles? I doubt it, especially considering that Coles has been on a downward trend for a couple of years now. It’s nice to have a couple of teams in the division that lack a WR who really scares you.

New England – locks – Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Jabar Gaffney, Chad Jackson
probables – Kelley Washington
other options – Sam Aiken, Matthew Slater – CJ Jones
If Washington were cut he would be highly pursued by several teams. He is a talented player who has been buried on depth charts his entire career. I hope Aiken makes that team, I still like him and he won’t really help NE at all. Matt Slater is the type of KR i was hoping the Bills would add in the 7th round or after the drat.

Baltimore – locks – Derek Mason, Mark Clayton, Demetrius Williams, Yamon Figurs, Marcus Smith
probables – none
other options – Ernie Wheelright, Justin Smith, Kerry Reed, Patrick Carter
The Ravens WRs seem to be set. I don’t think Reed or any of the undrafted FAs even have an outside shot at a roster spot. Patrick Carter is a track star and KR that I was high on going into the draft, but Yamon Figurs is the team’s current and future returner.

Cincinatti – locks – Chad Johnson, TJ Houshmandzadeh – Jerome Simpson, Andre Caldwell
probables – Glenn Holt
other options – Doug Gabriel, Mario Urrutia, Antonio Chatman, Travis Brown, Maurice Purify
Vets like Chatman and Gabriel are possible cuts (especially if Johnson plays this year), but they aren’t good enough to crack the Bills lineup (which means they aren’t very good at all). Rookies Brown, Purify and Urrutia will end up somewhere if they don’t make it in Cinci. Glenn Holt is the team’s best returner and he should make the team.

Cleveland – locks – Braylon Edwards, Donte Stallworth, Joe Jurevicius, Josh Cribbs
probables – Paul Hubbard, Travis Wilson
other options – Kevin Kapser, Steve Sanders, Lance Leggett
I guess there is an outside shot that Jurevicius doesn’t make the team. He would be a fantastic addition to the Bills. Hubbard should make the team and Travis Wilson isn’t worth pursuing if he doesn’t.

Pittsburg – locks – Hines Wards, Santonio Holmes, Limas Sweed, Nate Washington
probables – none
other options – Willie Reid, Matt Trannon, Jeremy Bloom, Micah Rucker, Dallas Baker
Baker has the best shot at making this team if they are looking for receiving skills and Willie Reid has the best chance if they are looking for a returner. Jeremy Bloom could provide competition as a returner while Rucker and Trannon are 6’6 giants who could even push Washington for a roster spot. I find all of Pittsburg’s WRs intriguing, but none of them (aside from Washington who is a longshot to get cut) really fit what the Bills would be looking to add (if they were actually looking to add someone).

Houston – locks – Andre Johnson, Andre Davis, Kevin Walter, Jacoby Jones
probable – David Anderson
other options – LeRon McCoy, Ryan Grice-Mullins, Harry Williams, Darnell Jenkins
Nothing much of interest here. Jones, Walter and Davis should provide Houston fans with an interesting camp battle for the starting spot opposite Andre Johnson. McCoy could push Anderson for a spot on the roster, but Anderson is the heavy favorite right now.

Indianapolis – locks – Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison, Anthony Gonzalez
probable – Pierre Garcon, Aaron Moorehead
other options – Courtney Roby, Roy Hall, Devin Aromashadu, Charles Dillon, Onrea Jones, Rudy Burgess, Sam Giguere
Moorehead is a possible cut who could be a potential signing for a team that loses a couple of WRs during the preseason. Garcon, the 6th round pick should make the roster. Roby, a former 3rd round selection, is another interesting name to watch in camp and the preseason. He will be given plenty of chances to make the team, but I think the experience and special teams value of Moorehead will be enough to hold him and the undrafted rookies off.

Jacksonville – locks – Reggie Williams, Jerry Porter
probable – Troy Williamson, Dennis Northcutt, Matt Jones, Mike Walker
other options – John Broussard, Clyde Edwards, D’Juan Woods, Jeron Harvey
I think that Williams and Porter are the only two WRs who are truly safe. Northcutt should make this team as the slot receiver and punt returner, but he isn’t that great of a punt returner anymore. I think that leaves him slightly vulnerable. Why trade for Williamson if you plan on cutting him? But where do he and Matt Jones fit on this roster? If they aren’t going to start and they don’t provide help on special teams, they could be on the chopping block. Mike Walker was Jax’s 3rd round pick last season, but missed the entire year with an injury. 6 WRs is a definite possibility for the Jags, but if they only go with 5 it will be at the expense of a usefel NFL player.

Tennessee – locks – Justin Gage, Lavelle Hawkins
probable – Justin McCareins, Roydell Williams, Brandon Jones
other options – Paul Williams, Chris Davis, Mike Williams
This is another situation with a lot of unknowns. When you aren’t sure who your starters will be it is difficult to predict how the rest of the group will shake out. Enigma Mike Williams seems like a long shot, but the Titans are desperate for a legitimate starter and Williams was once thought to have that kind of potential. Paul Williams is a former mid round draft pick with some potential and Chris Davis saw some action last season as a slot WR, punt retuner and on punt and kick coverage. Someone(s) is obviously going to be left off this roster and it could be McCareins, Jones or Roydell Williams and any of those 3 would be a solid addition if the Bills were to lose someone to a season ending injury.

Denver – locks – Branden Marshall, Eddie Royal, Branden Stokely
probable – Darrell Jackson, Keary Colbert
other options – Samie Parker, Edell Shepherd, Taylor Jacobs, Glenn Martinez
one of Denver’s FA additions (Jackson, Colbert, Parker) will likely be cut. If Shepherd, Martinez or an undrafted rookie make the team as a special teams contributer the Broncos could cut two solid players. I think Colbert has the best shot at making the team followed by Darrell Jackson with Samie Parker having the worst chance at making the team. If the Bils get depserate any of the three would be a solid option.

Kansas City – locks – Dwayne Bowe, Devard Darling, Will Franklin
probable – Jeff Webb
other options – Bobby Sippio, Kevin Robinson, Luke Swan, Maurice Price, Kevin McMahan, Jabari Arthur
KC simply doesn’t have enough talent at WR to cut a player who can be useful elsewhere.

Oakland – locks – Javon Walker, Ronald Curry, Arman Shields
probable – Drew Carter
other options – Johnnie Lee Higgins, Jonathon Holland, Marcel Reece, Todd Watkins, Chaz Schilens, Chris McCoy, Will Buchanon, Drison James
Another team that lacks the talent to produce a noteworthy cut. McCoy and Buchanon are former USC players that could surprise and make the team. Shields was taken with the 4th round pick that Oakland received in the Fabian Washington trade. If he doesn’t make the team, Oakland will look pretty stupid, so he is safe regardless of how he performs in camp.

San Diego – locks – Vincent Jackson, Chris Chambers, Craig (Buster) Davis
probable – Eric Parker, Kassim Osgood, Malcolm Floyd
other options – Legedu Naanee, Billy Pittman
SD will probably keep 6 WRs. Why would you not honor Osgood’s trade request if you plan on cutting him? His special teams play will keep on the roster. Eric Parker could still be a productive slot receiver if he could stay healthy, but if Davis fills that role this year than Parker’s spot on the team becomes uncertain. Floyd’s spot on the team is questionable, but he has a lot of talent and is still improving. He had 3 TDs just a couple seasons ago and he would be an ideal addition if he is cut.

Dallas – locks – T.O., Patrick Crayton
probable – Terry Glenn, Isaiah Stanback, Sam Hurd
other options – Miles Austin and 5 undrafted rookies
Terry Glenn is 34 and coming back from a serious knee injury. If he can get a positive medical report from the team he should be safe. I left him on the probable list just in case, but then again if he does get cut, it probably means that he isn’t healthy enough to play and in that case he isn’t a good option to pursue anyways. The team likes Sam Hurd and he has played pretty well when injuries have forced him onto the field. Stanback is a converted QB who is only entering his second season. It seems too early for Dallas to give up on him.

NY Giants – locks – Plaxico Burress, Amani Toomer, Steve Smith, Mario Manningham
probable – Sinorice Moss, David Tyree
other options – Domenick Hixon, Michael Jennings, DJ Hall
With Ahmad Bradshaw emerging as a viable returner, Moss will have to win his spot on the team. He only had 21 catches last year and he will have to prove that he has the skills to be a natural receiver and he will have to show that he can be an above average punt returner which is something he has yet to be in the NFL. Can the Giants really cut special teams ace and Super Bowl hero (and Syracuse grad) David Tyree? my guess is no, they can’t. With Bradshaw returning kicks and Tyree gunning punts, Hixon is an obvious cut. Michael Jennings could surprise if he is healthy and DJ Hall is a practice squad candidate.

Philadelphia – locks – Kevin Curtis, Reggie Brown, DeSean Jackson
probable – Hank Baskett, Jason Avant, Greg Lewis
other options – Shaheer McBride, Bam Childress, Michael Gasperson
If the Eagles only keep 5 WRs they will have to decide between Baskett, Lewis and Avant. Avant was ahead of Lewis and Baskett on the depth chart last year so he seems safe. Baskett will be the only receiver over 6’0 to make the team this year so he seems safe. That only leaves Greg Lewis who only caught 13 passes last year and seems to have maxed out his abilities. He could catch on somewhere else, but isn’t a great option if the Bills are looking for someone to replace an injured Hardy or Evans.

Washington – locks – Santana Moss, Devin Thomas, Malcolm Kelly, Antwaan Randle El
probable – Anthony Mix
other options – James Thrash, Billy McMullen, Maurice Mann
Thrash has been with Washington for a few seasons now and is probably considered by some to be a front runner for a roster spot. I think Mix is much more likely to win the 5th WR spot. Mix recorded 10 special teams tackles in only 5 games last year. That ability will fit in well on a roster that will feature two rookies who don’t have ST experience. Mix is also an Auburn grad who excelled catching passes from Jason Campbell in college. He has the size (6’5, 235) that teams covet as well. Thrash and McMullen don’t do much for me at all.

Chicago – locks – Devin Hester, Marty Booker, Earl Bennett
probable – Rashied Davis, Brandon Lloyd, Mark Bradley
other options – Marcus Monk, Brandon Rideau, Mike Haas, Curtis Hamilton
Hester’s versatility gives the Bears the option to keep 6 WRs, but they have so little talent they could choose to only hold onto 5. The Bears don’t have a single viable starter (Marty Booker?) so anyone could emerge and win a roster spot and/or contribute. Lloyd and Bradley are potential cuts, but there has to be better players available if the Bills are looking to add a WR.

Detroit – locks – Roy Williams, Calvin Johnson, Shuan McDonald, Mike Furrey
probable – none
other options – John Standeford, Ron Bellamy, Brandon Middleton, Reggie Ball, Kenneth Moore, Darrell Blackmon
Detroit has a great group of 4 WRs. I guess thats what happens when you draft one in the first round every other year for a decade. The Lions will keep 5 and whoever is the best special teams performer will earn that 5th spot.

Green Bay – locks – Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, James Jones
probable – Ruvell Martin
other options – Jake Allen, Rod Harper, Johnny Quinn, Taj Smith, Chris Francies, Shaun Bodiford, Brett Swain
I only listed Martin as probable in the unlikely event that one of the undrafted rookies really impresses. The Packers WRs seem to be set.

Minnesota – locks – Sidney Rice, Bernard Berrian, Aundrae Allison
probable – Bobby Wade, Robert Ferguson
other options – Justin Surrency, Martin Nance, Brent Little, Jaymar Johnson
The Vikings roster is probably set too. Jaymar Johnson has some quicks and could make the team as a returner. Robert Ferguson is a possible cut, but he is pretty unimpressive.

Atlanta – locks – Roddy White, Michael Jenkins, Laurent Robinson, Harry Douglas
probable – Brian Finneran, Joe Horn
other options – Adam Jennings, Chandler Williams, Eric Weems, Tony Gonzalez
It’s not out of the question to think that a rebuilding Atlanta might cut an overpaid and aging Joe Horn. It would be smart for Atlanta to try and develop Robinson and Douglas as quickly as possible. Finneran could provide that steady veteran presence that Horn was originally signed for. Jennings and Williams are two receivers that the team believes in. Either could make the team. If the Bills lose a starting receiver to injury, Horn could be the ideal candidate to as a one year replacement.

Carolina – locks – Steve Smith, DJ Hackett, Muhsin Muhammed, Dwayne Jarrett
probable – Ryne Robinson, Jason Carter
other options – Travis Taylor, Chris Hannon, Josh Davis, Damon Morton, Dominique Thompson
I think Jarrett is a lock to make the team. It seems too early to cut a second year, second round WR. Robinson should make this team as their primary kick and punt returner. Jason Carter is a third year player who the organization really likes. The Panthers could easily keep 6 WRs, especially if Jarrett still isn’t ready to play and will remain inactive for games.

New Orleans – locks – Marques Colston, Robert Meachem,
probable – Devery Henderson, David Patten, Lance Moore
other options – Terrance Copper, Adrian Arrington, Skyler Green, Todd Blythe, Titus Ryan, Carlos Robinson
Henderson seems very likely to make the team, but I know he was in the coaches’ dog house on multiple occasions last season. If Patten and Moore continue to surprise Henderson could be cut or traded. A vet like Copper or a rookie like Arrington or Blythe could make this team over a vet like Patten, Moore or Henderson.

Tampa Bay – locks – Joey Galloway, Dexter Jackson
probable – Maurice Stovall, Michael Clayton, Antonio Bryant, Ike Hilliard
other options – Chad Lucas, Paris Warren, Brian Clark, Michael Spurlock, Cortez Hankton, Taye Biddle, Charles Spiller, Amari Jackson
The Bucs have a glut of WRs just like they do QBs and RBs. Bryant, Hilliard, Clayton or Stovall could all be starters or be camp cuts. Biddle and Jackson seem like the most likely of the “other options” to make the team unless someone really blows them away with special teams prowress. I wouldn’t be interested in bringing in Stovall but, Clayton and Hilliard both have starting experience and would be good additions if Buffalo suffers some injuries in camp.

Arizona – locks – Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald, Early Doucet, Steve Breaston
probable – none
other options – Jerheme Urban, Jamaica Rector, Ahmad Merritt, Sean Morey, Jermalle Cornelius
The best special teams performer will make the team as the 5th WR. Boldin or Fitz will miss time at some point so the Doucet/Breaston competition will be an interesting one for AZ fans to watch.

San Francisco – locks – Isaac Bruce, Arnaz Battle, Bryant Johnson
probable – Jason Hill, Ashley Lelie
other options – Cam Colvin, Josh Morgan, Jerard Rabb, Delanie Walker, Robert Jordan
Hill seems to young to give up on so if one of the young players surprise in camp, Lelie could be the player sent packing. He has been given chances to contribute in a number of places and has been unable to lock down a job anywhere. The special teams ability of Morgan (kicks returns and punt gunner) or Walker (kick return coverage and blocking on KRs) could push Lelie of the roster.

Seattle – locks – Bobby Engram, Nate Burleson, Ben Obomanu, Deion Branch (PUP)
probable – none
other options – Joel Filani, Anthony Russo, Jordan Kent, Coutney Taylor, Michael Bumpus, Logan Payne, Chas Gessner
Branch will start the season on PUP which means that 6 WRs will be kept. Seattle could actually be looking to add a vet who gets cut. That is quite a turnaround for a team that had more WRs than they could fit on the field last year.

St. Louis – locks – Tory Holt, Drew Bennett, Donnie Avery, Keenan Burton
probable – Reche Caldwell
other options – Marques Hagans, Dane Looker, Eric Fowler, Brandon Williams, Derek Stanley, Shaine Smith, Matt Caddell
The play of the rookies will have a direct effect on who else the Rams will keep. With Holt and Bennett entrenched as the starters the team will find roles for Avery and Burton. If Avery or Burton look like viable slot WRs than Looker and Caldwell become less needed. If Burton can play special teams than that role becomes less important. The Rams will keep whichever player does best what Avery and Burton do worst. If Reche Caldwell is cut he would be someone worth looking at if the we get desperate for a WR.
