The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms with wide receiver DeVante Parker, according to a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN. Parker will come cheap: 

Parker, 31, was a Dolphins first-round pick (14th overall) in 2015. He is a big receiver (6'3, 215) with 4.45 speed who is heading into his 10th NFL season. He had one big season in 2019, but has otherwise been disappointing, at least as far as first-round receivers go.

DeVante Parker	Rec	Yards	YPC	TD
2015	26	494	19.0	3
2016	56	744	13.3	4
2017	57	670	11.8	1
2018	24	309	12.9	1
2019	72	1202	16.7	9
2020	63	793	12.6	4
2021	40	515	12.9	2
2022	31	539	17.4	3
2023	33	394	11.9	0

Parker cooked the Eagles' defense during that 2019 season, to the tune of 7 catches for 159 yards and 2 TDs in a bad Eagles loss in Miami.

Since that 1200-yard season in 2019, Parker has found it difficult to get open, to put it mildly: 

He'll have a chance to compete for a roster spot in Eagles training camp. I wouldn't go penciling him in as the WR3.

The separation thing does worry me I’ll say that. But as a WR 3 (if he remains on the roster and we don’t add more WRs which I think we will) I think he’s fine.
