CINCINNATI — The 33rd Team's Marcus Mosher dropped one free agent every NFL team should sign this offseason and he has an NFC receiver fitting with Cincinnati.

Former Giant Darius Slayton could be a solid option on a projected three-year deal worth $38 million.

"If the Cincinnati Bengals lose Tee Higgins, they would need to strike quickly to replace him, and this is not the draft to be searching for a receiver early," Mosher wrote. "Slayton won't be nearly the price of Higgins but could add a similar vertical element to the offense. Pairing Chase and Slayton together for the next few years would be a pretty good backup plan for Cincinnati."

Slayton notched 39 catches for 573 yards and two touchdowns this past season en route to a 59 overall grade from Pro Football Focus.

Joe Burrow could breathe new life into his career.
