Kenny Stills

Current team: Houston Texans

The Houston Texans are in full-on “fire sale” mode at the moment, as they’ve reportedly made everyone available outside of Deshaun Watson, JJ Watt, and their two starting tackles. Sat at 1-6, the team is in desperate need of a rebuild, especially considering the fact that they gave up most of their draft assets to acquire Tunsil last offseason.

The Texans have a variety of wide receivers that would instantly start on the Philadelphia Eagles, but Kenny Stills sticks out the most to me. He’s had a handful of really solid seasons with both the Saints and the Dolphins in the past, and he’s on a fairly affordable contract at the moment.

Stills is in the final year of a four-year deal that he signed back in 2017, and the Eagles would only be responsible for paying half of his current $7 million cap number.

Stills can play in the slot and on the outside, and he would give Wentz a fairly reliable pass-catcher  across the middle of the field.

Stills’ name has been floated around in trade rumors as early as this past offseason, so one can only assume that he would be available for a fairly late draft pick.
