The offseason mantra for the Eagles is very clear, and it is repeated often: Surround quarterback Carson Wentz with the right pieces. Make Wentz, who was so very impressive in his rookie season, the best he can be in Year 2 and beyond. What that means, exactly, remains to be seen, but it no doubt includes making the wide receiver positions more productive.
It’s no secret that the Eagles didn’t get enough from the wide receivers in 2016. Jordan Matthews worked hard and caught 73 passes, but he scored only 3 touchdowns as he battled an ankle injury late in the year.
