Injuries are the worst, and Week 4 of the 2025 NFL season featured a number of devastating ones. New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers tore his ACL and is out for the season, and Miami Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill appeared to suffer a potentially season-ending injury one day later.
Nabers and Hill are the latest star wide receivers to get hurt, joining players like Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans, Green Bay Packers wideout Jayden Reed, and others. With so many notable receivers going down, fans are understandably wondering: which WRs are available on the free-agent market? Here are several names to keep an eye on.
What Wide Receivers Are NFL Free Agents Right Now?
Tyler Boyd
Tyler Boyd is perhaps the most polished option currently on the market. The longtime Cincinnati Bengals receiver was once one of the best slot targets in the AFC, posting multiple 1,000-yard seasons earlier in his career.
Across his nine-year career, Boyd has racked up 552 receptions for 6,390 yards and 31 touchdowns.
Boyd’s experience in high-volume passing offenses could make him attractive to contenders and he has also shown that he can be a solid veteran mentor, which makes him appealing for an up-and-coming team. With injuries mounting, Boyd stands out as the most “plug-and-play” solution.
Allen Robinson
Allen Robinson is making headlines for his willingness to get back on the field. Recently, Robinson tweeted about how he could be of service to the Chiefs.
“No 🧢, chiefs I’m a free agent, I swear I could help yall,” Robinson posted after Worthy left the season opener with an injury.
Though his prime years are behind him, Robinson remains a big-bodied target who can win on contested catches.
Throughout the 32-year-old’s NFL career, Robinson totaled 565 catches for 7,058 yards and 43 touchdowns.
Odell Beckham Jr.
Odell Beckham Jr. is still a recognizable name in the NFL, even if his explosive highlight-reel days are behind him.
Coming off a brief stint with the Miami Dolphins, Beckham flashed at times in 2024 but was limited by injuries and usage. Still, his pedigree, experience, and big-play ability make him a worthwhile signing for a contending team.
Beckham may no longer be a true WR1, but his route-running and clutch playmaking remain valuable for any franchise. The 32-year-old most recently suited up for the Miami Dolphins last season, but he caught just nine passes for 55 yards in nine games. For his career, he has totaled 575 catches for 7,987 yards and 60 touchdowns.
Diontae Johnson
Diontae Johnson remains one of the more intriguing free agents on the market. Known for his quick footwork and separation skills, Johnson was Pittsburgh’s most reliable chain-mover for several years, averaging nearly 900 receiving yards per season during his time with the Steelers.
However, Johnson has been on the move a lot over the past two years. He was traded to the Carolina Panthers in March 2024 before again being dealt to the Baltimore Ravens in October 2024. He was waived in December and had brief stints with the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns.
For teams lacking a consistent short-to-intermediate target, Johnson could step right in and produce.
Nelson Agholor
Nelson Agholor has had his ups and downs throughout his career, but he still has a lot to offer.
Agholor has bounced around with stops in Philadelphia, New England, and, most recently, Baltimore, where he posted 231 yards and two touchdowns last season.
While never fully living up to his first-round pedigree, Agholor can provide much-needed depth for teams trying to replace injured starters.
