The Philadelphia Eagles‘ receiving core was awful last season. Nelson Agholor seemed to have butter for hands. Dorial Green-Beckham always seemed to be giving minimal effort. Jordan Matthews was underwhelming. It was a bad year for the position group, but it led to some learning opportunities.
Executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman and company certainly learned the current players on the roster simply aren’t good enough. With that thought in mind, they went out and gave contracts to both Alshon Jeffery and the speedy Torrey Smith.
