This year’s free agent class is shaping up to be one of the better ones in recent memory. The 2024 class is riddled with starting-caliber players with plenty of superstar talent mixed in. In this article, we are going to take a look at some of the best landing spots for the offensive free agents I can see leaving their current squads.

Tee Higgins: Jacksonville Jaguars

Despite many people expecting the Bengals to franchise tag Higgins, I can see a world where he ends up elsewhere. Cincinnati already gave Joe Burrow a massive deal and still have to shell out a max to Ja’Marr Chase. With that being said, I can see them letting Higgins walk or possibly doing a tag and trade to avoid paying another max-level contract. Higgins best fit in my opinion, would be with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Higgins played two years at Clemson with Jag’s QB Trevor Lawrence where they had some major success as a duo. Furthermore, Jacksonville is probably going to lose Calvin Ridley in free agency, leaving them with a big hole at outside receiver. Higgins is one of the best offensive free agents in the class and would fit nicely with the Jaguars.

Saquon Barkley: Los Angeles Chargers

After hiring Jim Harbaugh as their new head coach, I’m sensing a change of culture in L.A. The Chargers also hired Greg Roman as their new OC, who happens to be one of the most run centric play callers out there. Currently, the Chargers will be losing both Austin Ekeler and Josh Kelley to free agency. This leaves a massive hole at the position. Although the Chargers won’t have much money to play with, I believe they will prioritize a top-tier running back pretty highly. Barkley is one of the best backs in the league when healthy, and could definitely use a change of scenery. The first big splash for the new regime is bringing in a proven, bell cow back.

Josh Jacobs: Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens may be losing multiple big time contributors on both sides of the ball this offseason. After coming up just short of a Super Bowl birth, Baltimore needs to add some more firepower for MVP Lamar Jackson. How do they do that? They bring in one of the best offensive free agents in Josh Jacobs. Jacobs would be by far the best back Lamar has had in his career. He would also be the most proven and successful. The rushing leader from just a season ago played under the franchise tag in 2023 and is set to hit the open market in 2024. This pairing makes a lot of sense for what the Ravens want to do on offense, and the path Jacobs may want his career to take.

Marquise Brown: Atlanta Falcons

Another team with a new coaching regime for 2024 is the Atlanta Falcons. Not only did they bring in a new staff, but they also have a good amount of money to play around with. Outside of Drake London, the Falcons have no real starters at the receiver position. With a new QB almost surely being under center for Atlanta in 2024, they have to surround whoever that is going to be with as many weapons as possible. Brown, who played the past two seasons for the Cardinals, is a real deep threat. He possesses elite speed and quickness and would be a perfect one – two punch with the bigger bodied London.

Mike Onwenu: Las Vegas Raiders

Las Vegas seemed to start turning a corner during the back half of the 2023 season under coach Antonio Pierce. They have some good pieces, but still have some work to do, especially in the trenches. Onwenu, who has played multiple positions along the Patriots’ offensive line over the past few seasons, would be a great RT replacement for Vegas. The Raiders may be losing their 2023 starter Jermaine Eluemunor to free agency, and probably want to get a bit younger at the position anyways. Onwenu has consistently graded out very well in his first four seasons. But for some reason just couldn’t seem to gel with New England. He gets a fresh start for L.V. and the Raiders continue building a solid team.
