Philadelphia Eagles: 3 potential Jalen Reagor trades
3. The Philadelphia Eagles could trade Jalen Reagor and pick 101 to the Arizona Cardinals for Andy Isabella and pick 87.
Believe it or not, the Philadelphia Eagles aren’t the only team with draft picks that haven’t panned out. The New England Patriots made third-round pick Devin Asiasi a healthy scratch in all but one of their games last season, Clelin Ferrell could be moved this offseason by the Las Vegas Raiders and Saquon Barkley has been connected to more than a few rumors this offseason too.
If the Eagles can secure a serviceable defensive tackle, safety, or tight end in exchange for Reagor’s services, it’ll be a win, but if Howie Roseman and company are more inclined to swap one receiver for another, Andy Isabella has reportedly been granted permission to seek a trade from the Arizona Cardinals and could likely be had in a player-pick double swap.
Coming out of college, Isabella looked like an ideal slot receiver. He ran a blazing fast 4.31 40 at the 2019 combine, was lauded for his route running during the pre-draft process, and averaged over 1,150 yards in each of his final three seasons at UMass. If he joined a team that didn’t already have Christian Kirk locked in as their slot receiver, he might very well have been a more utilized offensive option, but instead, Isabella found himself an offensive afterthought made increasingly redundant with each passing big-time wide receiver addition.
Despite the desire of many a fan to see Howie Roseman procure a big-time X receiver who can consistently win at the line of scrimmage, the Eagles also have a deceptively big need for a route running specialist who can pick up reliable yards in the slot. While there are solid options available in the draft, my personal favorite being Wan’Dale Robinson, landing Isabella would be a solid option, to say the least, especially if his addition comes with a pick swap moving up from 101 to 87.
Next. Devonte Wyatt is anything but a consolation prize. dark
Will the Philadelphia Eagles ultimately move on from Jalen Reagor heading into Year 3? Only time will tell, but the case for keeping him for one more season is roughly equal to the case to cut him loose, so the decision could ultimately come down to the offers presented and how much they would make the team better.
