Biggest Names

Bo Scaife, Tennessee
Scaife has had two straight solid seasons (46 and 58 receptions) working with Vince Young and Kerry Collins respectively.

Owen Daniels, Houston *
A restricted free agent, Daniels is a Pro Bowl pass catcher who's taken advantage of life working inside of wide receiver Andre Johnson to the tune of a combined 133 receptions over the last two seasons.
L.J. Smith, Philadelphia
Injuries have been the biggest question mark for Smith, who has shown flashes of brilliance in his six seasons as an Eagle.
