"The Browns picked a great year to be in the market for big-play wide receivers.

Depending on which players re-sign with their teams between now and the start of free agency on March 13, there could be dozens of quality wideouts flooding the market. The list includes big-name receivers such as San Diego's Vincent Jackson and Philadelphia's DeSean Jackson, and some lesser-known ones such as Dallas' Laurent Robinson and New Orleans' Robert Meacham.

Of course, some of the best will either be franchised by their teams -- which could earn them an estimated $9.5 million in 2012 -- or sign contracts before hitting the open market. But for a Browns team that finished 30th in the NFL in points per game (13.6) and 29th in the league with 21 touchdowns, March 13 could feel like Christmas morning.

Granted, Browns General Manager Tom Heckert has made it clear that he's building through the draft and doesn't love signing free agents. But it's almost a lock that the Browns will end up with a veteran wideout either in free agency or a trade, especially so many top-notch ones potentially available.

Consider that the Browns' leader in receptions -- Greg Little with 61 -- finished tied for 42nd in that category and had half as many catches as league-leader Wes Welker's 122.

Some big-name receivers such as Welker and Reggie Wayne were left off this list, because Welker will most likely re-sign with the Patriots and Wayne is 33, although he had a fine season in Indianapolis last year. "
