2012 NFL Free Agents: WRs Already Making Moves in AFC North Implications

Two free-agent wide receivers who would be good fits in a number of AFC North teams are already making moves outside of the division.

Via Twitter, Robert Meachem, most recently of the New Orleans Saints, will be visiting with the Buffalo Bills tomorrow. Former Indianapolis Colt Pierre Garçon has drawn interest from both the St. Louis Rams and Washington Redskins, with the latter winning out his services in the first hour of free agency.

Both Meachem and Garçon could be useful free agency additions for the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns. All three teams need to make veteran additions to their receiving corps and the price would be right for either of the two players to land with one of those teams.

Alas, with Garçon already spoken for, teams will have to start looking elsewhere for a receiver of his caliber and price tag.

It's doubtful that any AFC North team is in play for the crown jewel of the free agent wide receiving class, Vincent Jackson, so it's necessary for any team interested in a veteran receiver to jump ahead and schedule visits with other lower-priced veterans such as Garçon and Meachem.

This is a deep free-agent wide receiver class, however, and it's quite possible that none of these teams had anything more than a cursory interest in these two receivers.

But things happen fast in free agency.

Garçon is already gone, and if they cannot get meetings scheduled soon with Meachem, the Ravens, Browns and Bengals may have to rethink their strategy if they're truly in the wide receiver market.
