Umm, did I just have to click through 5 times for that list?  Mundt, OG Reed, Reagor and 2 no account DL?

I know no GM is perfect but honestly what were we thinking trading for Reagor? Definite, "I'm smarter than the rest of you" vibes. Odd trade. Hockenson on the other hand = great move.

Eh, Reagor was worth a shot.  What did we give, a 7th?  He was a former first rounder and we have had some luck with former Eagle WRs.

I think in the first year someone from the Eagles said you couldn’t trust Reager.  I thought it was an odd comment until I saw him screw up the two routes leading to interceptions last year.

I think they should just use Reagor as an athlete and not keep him solely as a WR. Just manufacture some touches for him and he might actually be useful, like what they should have done with CP.

I think you keep Reagor as a punt returner until the WR depth chart is filling up with actual receivers.  Like I wouldn't keep a WR as a gunner over him as a punt returner, but he's not a guy you really want on the field as a receiver too much.  I do agree that you could manufacture touches for him.  I think he'd be interesting to just run jet sweeps and fake jet sweeps.  I still feel like he should be better as a deep threat.  Like there's got to be some way to say, just run faster than the other guy and blow the top of the defense.  Like you put him and JJ on one side and make the safety have to decide to stay with JJ or protect the deep threat, but if that was reasonable from him, we would have seen it last year.

2023 7th and unless the entire WR room is in body casts forcing us to play him on offense, a 2024 5th.  Worth the shot yes, but amazing that he's so clueless as to make even that seem a win for Philly.  We're definitely keeping Reagor because his salary is guaranteed and no one is going to trade anything to pay him $4 million.   So we're stuck with him as the league's highest paid WR5.
