The Eagles won’t be “putting it on the board” in free agency this year. Free agent TJ Houshmandzadeh has reportedly reached a deal with the Seattle Seahawks according to multiple internet reports. Housh ended up not even being on the Eagles radar after his agent played games with the FO last week by lying to them about how much money they were seeking.
With Housh off the board, the Eagles have fairly limited options at wide receiver via free agency this year. The only wide receiver left that could be cosidered an upgrade is Laveranues Coles, but so far the Eagles haven’t shown any interest in the former Jets #1 wide receiver. Most NFL experts have mentioned that the Dolphins lack of interest in Coles (because of his ties to the Tuna) is hurtng Coles value and reduced his market. So far only the Bills have made an offer to Coles.
Coles recorded just 850 yards receiving last year, but reached the end zone 7 times. Considering the Eagles lack of production in the red zone last season, adding a receiver that can get open and score near the goal line would be a welcomed addition.
If only we had the cap space…
