1.) Steve Breaston: Speed. Breaston is a solid kick and punt returner. If there is one thing extremely evident with the release of Nelson and Jones, is that the Bills are looking for speed out of the wideout position. Breaston immediately provides the speed the Bills are looking for, but he can also play in the slot, and is not afraid to go across the middle.
2.) Ted Ginn Jr.: Cut from the same mold as Breaston, Ginn fills a need as a kick and punt returner while also providing dynamic speed. He could be picked up for a bargain price, probably even a smaller price tag than what Jones or Nelson would have commanded with their qualifying offers.
3.) Donnie Avery: The Colts may want to sign Avery back before the market opens, but after a terrific 2012 season, he may find more money on the open market. Avery had 60 grabs for 781 yards a year ago, and would be a shrewd addition who flies under the radar of some of the bigger names in the market.
4.) Brian Hartline: Like Avery, the Fins are going to want to keep Hartline, but the former Ohio State Buckeye's stock may never be higher; the perfect time to test the free agent waters. Hartline had a monster 2012 season in South Florida, catching 74 balls for 1083 yards. He doesn't fit the speed receiver mold, but Hartline knows how to get open and possesses phenomenal hands.
5.) Emmanuel Sanders: Here's the speed again. While Sanders is a restricted free agent likely to stay in Pittsburgh, he seems the perfect fit to wear a Bills uniform in Doug Marrone's offense. He would only cost the Bills a third-round pick if they took a run at Sanders, and if I told you today Buffalo's third round pick would catch 50 balls for 700 yards next season, you'd be elated. So why not guarantee that production with a run at Sanders?
