3. Terrelle Pryor

Position: WR

Number: 11

Age: 27 

Contract: Signed through 2016

When it comes to Terrelle Pryor‘s jersey, there are two completely opposed factors that go into the decision of whether or not to purchase it.

On one hand, the 27-year-old has been Cleveland’s star player in 2016, and it isn’t even close. Completing the conversion from the quarterback position to wide receiver this year, Pryor has proved to be the third best receiver in the AFC North. Catching 67 passes for 877 yards through 14 games, the Ohio State Buckeye has excelled even under extremely difficult circumstances, with struggles and unprecedented inconsistency.

However, a huge problem with Pryor’s jersey is the looming free agency factor. At the end of this season, the 6-foot-6, 240-pound receiver will be an unrestricted free agent. With the sort of season the Browns are having and the type of quarterback play they have gotten, a player with as much potential entering his prime as Pryor will undoubtedly be considering his options.

The good news is that Pryor is a Buckeye, even though he was originally from Pennsylvania. But whether or not this is enough to guarantee an extension is unknown. In the end, it probably isn’t.

So to say the least, buying your loved one a Pryor jersey is a huge risk. He is clearly the best player on the team and would easily find himself at the top of this list if not for being a free agent at the end of the year.
