Eagles and former Patriots WR DeVante Parker reached agreement on a 1-year, $4.69 million fully guaranteed deal, of which Philadelphia has to pay only $1.2 million, with New England paying the rest. “DeVante is thrilled and grateful to become a Philadelphia Eagle and to help this… pic.twitter.com/LtwCnNVj58

Watson does a nice job but he shouldn't be a starter and that's what he has to be in order for the role to matter.
This. It has to be someone that makes them pay consistently enough that it negates anything they gain over the course of the game from playing that cover 1 or cover 0. I don't think MVS and or Hardman ever accomplished that. [Reply]

Again, we've never had a 3rd option in the passing game break 700 yards.
Why pay $13-15M for it?
For me, it's how long are you expecting Kelce to keep up his rate? Father time WILL catch up to him. [Reply]

Why use even a 2nd on it under that rationale?
The reason you target speed there is because it's a credible threat that even if it DOESN'T net 800 yards at WR3, will create more room for Kelce and Rice to operate.
Look no further than 2022 for the theory in action.
If you're not going to find an all-fields guy, find a guy who helps the dudes you have. Speed does that. Size really doesn't. [Reply]

Crazy, eh?
We won this year because we had the best defense in the league. Wouldn't have happened otherwise.
We cannot accept last year's offense or the approach taken at WR as good enough to run it back with. Teams almost never repeat defensive years like the one we just had even with similar personnel. [Reply]

That option you’re describing is what we missed badly this yea: McKinnon.
The guy only had 32 targets in the receiving game. I love Pacheco but he’s not exactly a strong fit catching passes like Jerrick McKinnon or Damien Williams.
You could see the offense take off when Clyde had his best game last year in NE.
A receiving back is really high on the list of needs IMO [Reply]

My hope would be that any WR we draft is to play outside with Rice and we're planning for life post-Kelce.
We sure as shit shouldn't be using a pick on a MVS replacement who's job is to get his cardio in.
In a perfect world you get a guy that can do both. While not a burner, I think Rice is more capable of it than we're giving him credit for.
People (myself included) wanted DeAndre Hopkins?
We got the younger, slightly less polished version in Rice. [Reply]
