2) Carolina Panthers

 

Heading into the offseason, the Panthers look ready to finish overhauling a wide receiver corps that's routinely fallen short of expectations in the later years of the Cam Newton era. They began the process by jettisoning Kelvin Benjamin midseason and successfully installing Devin Funchess as the primary perimeter receiver. Outside of Funchess, the only safe bets to return to the roster are smaller speed-threat wideouts Curtis Samuel and Damiere Byrd. While both of them missed extensive time with injuries in 2017, when healthy, they open up the field for Newton -- on deep routes and crossers out of the slot -- complementing Funchess' work outside as a possession receiver.

Adding Robinson would essentially be icing on the cake for Carolina, solidifying the WR depth chart as an above-average group for the first time in years. Newton has ranked inside the top five in percentage of passes thrown into tight windows in each of the last two seasons, per Next Gen Stats. Robinson's great route-running technique would open clearer throwing lanes for the former MVP and offer him someone who's more than capable of winning those 50-50 jump balls.

The Panthers are in the middle of the pack in terms of cap space right now. If they want Robinson's services, they can make a contract work. Securing Newton a No. 1 receiver who's still just 24 years old as the quarterback enters the next stage of his career would be well worth the cost.
