3 Recently Cut Free Agents the Eagles Must Sign
3. Jarvis Landry, WR
You’d have a hard time finding a better WR tandem in the NFL than A.J. Brown and DeVonte Smith. The dynamic duo will likely be back at their highlight-reel ways this fall, but the Eagles’ wideout depth behind them could be stronger.
Quez Watkins has been banged up throughout August while Zaccheaus has been dealing with a shoulder injury. In other words, adding a veteran WR like Jarvis Landry to the mix wouldn’t hurt.
While the former 2014 second-rounder didn’t get much of a chance to shine with the New Orleans Saints last year, he’s still a proven veteran with 713 catches, over 7,800 yards, and 38 TDs under his belt across 132 career games.
Even if he isn’t at the Pro Bowl level that he was once, Landry still averaged 10.9 yards per reception in 2022, which is only slightly below his career average (11.0). It’s not hard to imagine him having a productive year with Jalen Hurts slinging him the ball.
His addition would also give Philadelphia another option if Brown or Smith are forced to miss time at any point.
Landry was the Eagles WR4/5 looks great on paper, especially once the whole wideout room gets healthy. At just 30 years old, I think he has more than enough gas left in the tank to help deliver a championship to Philly.
