Kamar Aiken

The Baltimore Ravens receiver also is a very affordable asset on the free agent market.  His 2016 season though was not as good as his 2015 season.

In 2015, Aiken had 75 receptions for 944-yards and five touchdowns.  Part of that success though can be attributed to missing Steve Smith.

In 2016, Aiken had just 29 receptions for 328-yards and one touchdown.  Smith returned for one final season in 2016 and took some of that work away.

Given the chance to be a number two or three receiver in Arizona, Aiken could flourish and once again have the chance for 75 receptions or so.  Receptions-wise, Aiken’s 2015 numbers would have been third in 2016 and the yardage would have ranked second amongst Cardinals receivers.

Aiken will need to find a team that can get him back to being more involved in the offense.  With the Cardinals needing someone to take the place of Michael Floyd at the very least, he should be able to perform how the Cardinals wanted Floyd to this past season.
