After spending four years with the New York Jets, Anderson is set to hit unrestricted free agency for the first time in his career. He should find plenty of suitors who would happy to hand out a mid-level contract to the former undrafted free agent.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>NFL Free Agency: Robby Anderson Team Fits<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Philadelphia Eagles<\/h3>\n<p>Everything that could go wrong with Philadelphia\u2019s receivers in 2019, did go wrong. The unit suffered injury after injury, <strong>J.J. Arcega-Whiteside<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/2020\/01\/12\/j-j-arcega-whiteside-philadelphia-eagles-rookie-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">couldn\u2019t contribute<\/a>, and the unit started to show their age. Philadelphia needs to bring somebody in to make life easier for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WentCa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carson Wentz<\/a><\/strong>, and Anderson would be a perfect fit for this scheme. Wentz throws one of the better deep balls in the league, and the Eagles might not be able to afford a guy like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/CoopAm00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amari Cooper<\/a><\/strong>. Anderson is good enough to succeed on his own, but the Eagles could create one of the most explosive passing attacks in the league with both Anderson and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/J\/JackDe00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DeSean Jackson<\/a><\/strong> on the field.<\/p>\n<h3>Green Bay Packers<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/RodgAa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aaron Rodgers<\/a><\/strong> is still a good quarterback, but he\u2019s starting to show signs of slowing down. This doesn\u2019t mean he can\u2019t produce top-five numbers anymore, just that he needs more help than he used to. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AdamDa01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Davante Adams<\/a><\/strong> is a stud, but Green Bay needs to find a reliable starter to complement Adams. Anderson\u2019s ability to stretch a defense should be a good match with Rodgers\u2019 rocket arm and could be the missing ingredient in getting Green Bay back to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<h3>New England Patriots<\/h3>\n<p>The last time New England had a speedy outside receiver capable of taking the top off a defense, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BradTo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tom Brady<\/a><\/strong> won MVP honors. Whether or not Brady returns, New England should look into adding more depth to their wide receiver room. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/E\/EdelJu00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Julian Edelman<\/a><\/strong> is getting old and can\u2019t go on forever, and the rest of the depth chart is either underwhelming or inexperienced. Nobody knows more about improving a career after leaving New York than <strong>Bill Belichick<\/strong>, and Anderson perfectly fills New England\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p>If Brady comes back, the six-time Super Bowl champion should be happy to see more speed in the offense. Even if <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/S\/SanuMo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mohamed Sanu<\/a>, N\u2019Keal Harry<\/strong>, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/MeyeJa01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jakobi Meyers<\/a><\/strong> all improve in 2020, none have the potential to be vertical speed threats. If <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/S\/StidJa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jarrett Stidham<\/a><\/strong> or a veteran quarterback end up under center, then said quarterback would be happy to have more than one proven target in the passing game.<\/p>\n<h3>Buffalo Bills<\/h3>\n<p>The Buffalo Bills have a chance to develop into legitimate Super Bowl contenders if they play their cards right. Coming off a 10-win season, Buffalo has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotrac.com\/nfl\/cap\/2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nearly $83 million<\/a> in available cap space to improve their roster. The Bills already have an underrated receiving duo in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=BrowJo02,BrowJo22,BrowJo21&amp;search=John+Brown&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Brown<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BeasCo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cole Beasley<\/a><\/strong>, but adding Anderson could take this unit over the top. Brown and Anderson can both destroy defenses deep while Beasley can provide safe outlets for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=AlleJo02,AlleJo03,AlleJo00&amp;search=Josh+Allen&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Josh Allen<\/a><\/strong>. If Brady leaves New England, the Bills are prime position to take over as kings of the AFC East.<\/p>\n<p><em>Honorable Mentions: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/broncos\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Denver Broncos<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/raiders\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Las Vegas Raiders<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/ravens\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Baltimore Ravens<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/cardinals\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arizona Cardinals<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"LSjZY1uGQHJi8kvim9FM9w\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/869580086\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'LSjZY1uGQHJi8kvim9FM9w',sig:'YZ7Ivode9BkN_uzwJaR5wQu4QCNBrUpUyUyXjKTz9Ac=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'869580086',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robby Anderson is set to hit free agency for the first time in his career and could be a perfect signing for a team needing a speedy deep threat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":80775,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5,3,25,21],"tags":[275,177,248,1039,61,44,666,521,4195,38,40,1608,46,221],"class_list":["post-80774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-patriots","category-bills","category-packers","category-eagles","tag-aaron-rodgers","tag-buffalo-bills","tag-carson-wentz","tag-davante-adams","tag-football","tag-green-bay-packers","tag-julian-edelman","tag-mohamed-sanu","tag-nkeal-harry","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-free-agency","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-robby-anderson"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80774\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
