"WR Mike Evans (TB) Buffalo needs a No. 1 option for quarterback Josh Allen, and Evans is still a talented "X" receiver. He has the size -- standing at 6-foot-5, 231 pounds -- and ball skills to win contested catches. Allen could also trust Evans on third down; in 2024, he had a team-high 220 yards on third down for the Bucs."
"There are doubts about Evans, however, since he will be turning 33 in August and missed 10 games in 2025 due to a broken collarbone and a hamstring injury. But he is only one year removed from a 1,000-yard season with 11 touchdowns."
"The Dolphins' top three tight ends from last season are all free agents (Greg Dulcich, Darren Waller and Julian Hill), and they could use an upgrade at the position anyway. Waller had six touchdowns in his return from retirement, but he played only nine games due to hip and pectoral injuries."
As NFL free agency approaches with the March 11 start date, teams strategically plan roster additions ahead of the franchise tag deadline on March 3. The article proposes one free agent signing recommendation for each of the 32 NFL teams, following specific constraints: one free agent per team, one team per free agent, and no reassignments to current teams. The analysis begins with AFC East teams, recommending Mike Evans to the Bills as a No. 1 receiver option for Josh Allen despite Evans' age and recent injuries, and Isaiah Likely to the Dolphins to address tight end depth after losing three free agents. The exercise provides strategic roster-building guidance for teams seeking veteran talent.
