The NFL rumors surrounding where wide receiver Jeremy Maclin will play in 2018 are starting to pick up. Maclin was released by the Baltimore Ravens on March 14th and the demand for him seems low, but that may change since the wide receiver free agent pool is getting smaller. Maclin is 29-years-old coming off a season where he had 40 catches for 440 yards and three touchdowns. With top free agent receivers Terrelle Pryor and Mike Wallace signing with teams yesterday, that may lead to a team signing Maclin soon. Here are five teams that could sign Maclin this offseason.

5.) Denver Broncos
The Broncos are in the market for a third wide receiver to complement Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas. Maclin has bounced around the league playing for three different franchises. One of his best seasons came in 2015 with the Chiefs where he racked up 87 receptions for 1088 yards and eight touchdowns. The Broncos may remember Maclin from his days in Kansas City and want to add him to their roster. Also giving new quarterback Case Keenum three solid receiving options will only help the Broncos move the ball down the field.
4.) Oakland Raiders
The Raiders already made a splash in the free agency signing former Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson after Oakland decided to cut wide receiver Michael Crabtree. The Raiders have had some recent visitors including Eric Decker and it wouldn't surprise me to see Oakland give Maclin a visit. Anytime tight end Jared Cook leads the team in receiving yards with 688, that means you need to make some changes to the receiving corps.
3.) Washington Redskins
Entering the 2017 season the Redskins had one of the most feared receiving corps in the entire NFL with pass catchers like wide receiver Terrelle Pryor and tight end Jordan Reed. Both players battled injuries for most of the season and when they were healthy, they didn't produce as expected. Former first-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft wide receiver Josh Doctson has shown some glimpses of talent in the red zone but still has been inconsistent. Washington needs to add some reliable targets for their new quarterback Alex Smith.
2.) Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals have shown interest in the wide receiver free agent market this offseason. Arizona hosted Jordan Matthews last Friday and nothing has transpired from that meeting. The Cardinals lost wide receiver John Brown in free agency and may look to add a reliable target for new quarterback Sam Bradford. Adding Maclin to Arizona's wide receiver depth chart would be beneficial since Fitzgerald was the only Cardinals player with more than 510 receiving yards and 34 receptions in 2017.
1. ) Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks had a visit on Monday with wide receiver Terrelle Pryor and now that he signed with the Jets, they may turn their attention to Maclin. Seattle lost wide receiver Paul Richardson and tight end Jimmy Graham to free agency and will need to add potential targets around quarterback Russell Wilson. The Seahawks struggled in the red zone a season ago and adding Maclin would improve their offense inside their opponents 20-yard line.
