Through four days of official and unofficial NFL free agency, nearly all of the top players available have agreed to a new deal or been assigned the franchise tag. Tom Brady is going to the Buccaneers. Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry are staying put in Tennessee. Dallas kept Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper. Drew Brees will again be in New Orleans, while Philip Rivers will play for the Colts next season. The list goes on and on.
But at least two high-impact players still don't know where they will be playing in 2020. Quarterback Jameis Winston and edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney haven't yet found homes.
Our panel of NFL experts is back to weigh in on which teams should sign Winston and Clowney. (Note: Todd Gurley was originally included, but he signed a deal with the Falcons on Friday morning. You can see our answers for his destination at the bottom.)
Which team should sign Jameis Winston?
Matt Bowen, NFL analyst: Pittsburgh Steelers. Given the injury history of starter Ben Roethlisberger, adding Winston as a No. 2 would allow the Steelers to upgrade the depth chart with a quarterback carrying legit starting experience. And the fit is there for Winston in Pittsburgh's vertical passing offense.
Mike Clay, fantasy writer: New England Patriots. Color me super intrigued to see what Bill Belichick could get out of Winston one season after the 2015 first overall pick led the NFL in both passing yards and interceptions. New England seems headed into quarterback purgatory this season, so an upside flier on Winston is logical.
Jeremy Fowler, national NFL writer: New England Patriots. What better way to punctuate the Brady breakup than by Belichick helping fix the talented but turnover-prone Winston in the ultimate Tampa QB swap? I know, I know ... Belichick wants a disciplined quarterback who's smart at the line of scrimmage. But Winston's issue isn't smarts; it's overconfidence. Belichick and Josh McDaniels can coach him into fewer mistakes.
Jason Reid, senior writer, The Undefeated: New England Patriots. Wouldn't it be a hoot if the Patriots signed Winston, he wins the starting QB job and then has the greatest season of his career while leading the franchise to its seventh Super Bowl title? It would definitely answer the question of whether Brady or Belichick was primarily responsible for the Patriots' spectacular success.
Aaron Schatz, editor of Football Outsiders: Jacksonville Jaguars. They need insurance in case Gardner Minshew turns into a sixth-round pumpkin in his second season.
Kevin Seifert, national NFL writer: New Orleans Saints. The Jaguars probably have more use for him in the short term, but Saints coach Sean Payton might be one of the few people in the NFL who could coax more efficient play from Winston. And the Saints need a backup after losing Teddy Bridgewater to the Panthers.
Field Yates, NFL analyst: Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers saw life without Roethlisberger last season, and it wasn't enough. While Winston has obviously been imperfect, Pittsburgh would provide him a chance to be groomed and developed further, while also providing the Steelers with a more experienced backup while Big Ben continues to recover from his elbow issue (in case his reps are limited at all during training camp).
Which team should sign Jadeveon Clowney?
Bowen: New York Jets. Gregg Williams needs a pass-rusher for his defense, and Clowney would fill that need. While Clowney didn't produce high-end sack totals in 2019, his 41 total quarterback pressures ranked No. 14 in the NFL. He is a disruptive edge player whom Williams can utilize in his multiple fronts and packages.
Clay: New York Jets. Just like last offseason, the Jets are in terrific shape on the defensive line, at linebacker and at safety. However, massive holes exist at edge rusher and corner. New GM Joe Douglas could turn the tide quickly by adding Clowney to the mix. The Jets' defense is closer than most realize to becoming one of the league's better units.
Fowler: New York Jets. Clowney's market isn't what he hoped, so New York can try to entice him with a two-year deal loaded with guarantees. This is a good defense that is a dominant pass-rusher away. Clowney isn't always dominant, but he can be for enough stretches to spark the Jets' attack.
Reid: New York Jets. Clowney is just the pass-rusher the Jets need to go from a good defense to an outstanding defense. It looks like his market isn't what he hoped it would be, so the Jets could get a team-friendly deal.
Schatz: Indianapolis Colts. The Colts would get a dangerous pass-rushing weapon to put opposite Justin Houston (Ben Banogu and Kemoko Turay would give them strong depth too), and Clowney would get to terrorize the Texans twice per season. The presence in Indy of Houston and DeForest Buckner would make double-teaming Clowney very difficult.
Seifert: Seattle Seahawks. Clowney's sack numbers weren't great last season in Seattle, but he was without question a disrupter in the Seahawks' scheme. He might not have found big money elsewhere, but he knows Seattle can help him to a productive season in a comfortable environment.
Yates: Seattle Seahawks. When a player is still unsigned this "far" into free agency, it's sometimes a reflection that he has not yet realized the market he hoped for. Clowney has not closed the door to a return to Seattle, and it would love to have him back. He might wind up needing to take a short-term deal (one year) to reset his value for his next free agency.
Which team should sign Todd Gurley?
(Update: Gurley signed a one-year deal with the Falcons on Friday morning. This question was answered on Thursday night.)
Bowen: Atlanta Falcons. Gurley's explosive-play ability has declined, and I didn't see the same burst and acceleration in his game in the 2019 film. However, as part of a backfield rotation, Gurley's straight-line, power running style fits the Falcons' zone schemes, and the receiving traits are there to produce on screens, swings and throws to the flat. Signing Gurley to a one-year deal -- while also targeting a rookie running back on Day 2 or 3 of the NFL draft -- would allow Atlanta to fill a need here at the position.
Clay: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They have salary-cap space, and signing Brady immediately vaults them into "win now" mode, so adding a luxury in the form of Gurley or Melvin Gordon makes some sense. And neither back would need to be a workhorse with youngster Ronald Jones also in the fold.
Fowler: Philadelphia Eagles. Have Gurley take Jordan Howard's power-back role in an offense that uses only part-time backs, easing his workload to save his knees. Miles Sanders can develop into a star while Gurley plays a supplemental role on a modest contract.
Reid: Atlanta Falcons. They seem to make the most sense. Atlanta has a need at running back, and Gurley still wants to work. But how much does he have left?
Schatz: Atlanta Falcons. They have the clearest hole at the position. But does it really matter? How much does Gurley move the needle at this point in his career, given his medical issues and the general fungibility of running backs?
Seifert: Philadelphia Eagles. I'm just spitballing here, but it sure would be fun to see Gurley involved in a Doug Pederson passing offense. The Eagles don't need someone to be a 250-carry workhorse, and they could make great, if limited, use of Gurley in their scheme.
Yates: Atlanta Falcons. The team recently parted ways with Devonta Freeman, moving running back up its needs list. While economics will be a factor, general manager Thomas Dimitroff has assembled an offensive line that has the chance to be one of the best in the NFL next season, and Gurley would be a weapon as both a runner and receiver.
