I'm seeing things out there that the Eagles may not be interested in extending Smitty. I certainly hope this guy isn't the answer. I think Brown and Smith make a decent tandem

I'm of the opinion that they'll keep Smith over Brown.

That's nonsense, there isn't a team in the NFL that wouldn't be interested in signing Devonta Smith.

I think the question for the Eagles is how much are they prepared to spend to keep him, because he is going to get big offers, he's a thousand yards a year receiver, an outstanding route runner who's played more games than Chase or Waddle in his first three years despite fears about his build in the pros.

They're probably going to need to start talking at $23mill a year and may need to head North from there, the 5th year will cost $15.5mill, a tag will cost them $25mill (unless Chase or Waddle sign long term this year and push the tag upwards).

And of course we don’t yet know just but I suspect the answer is they are going to be prepared to spend a lot to keep him.

He’s WR 3 at best and he’s an upgrade on Quez. I’ll take it as long as they continue to work on the WR position.

Parris definitely came into the NFL with a better pedigree and higher expectations than Quez. However, I don't really understand how anybody can conclude at this point, he's an upgrade. As disappointing as Quez has been to many Eagles fans during his stay here, in 4 seasons he has managed to outproduce Campbell who was drafted a year earlier.

The Eagles needed (these) two things the last 2 seasons. The first is a better slot receiver and the second is an offensive gameplan that utilizes the slot receiver as a viable chain moving target as opposed to a field stretching decoy. Watkins' best value was as a backup to Brown and Smith on the outside. His strengths were wasted and his weaknesses exposed as the primary slot WR. I may be in the minority, but I never bought into the anti-Quez movement. His mistakes were exaggerated. People talk about his "hands" as if they are awful, but he has a higher career catch percentage than AJ Brown and a lower career drop percentage (4.1%) than both Smith (4.3%) and Brown (4.5%). Anybody would be crazy to want to play Quez over Brown or Smith, so spare me the dramatics of the ol'

"How dare you mention Quez in the same breath as ..." 

I'm not equating players. I'm pointing out the baseless exaggerations people believe about 1 player. As for Campbell, Hopefully Moore will get the most out of him here. I suspect that he'll see more playing time than Parker. Campbell is probably a better open field runner than Quez which should help him succeed if he is asked to take a lot of snaps as the slot. He also has a good career catch percentage, so hopefully fans don't turn on him if he doesn't catch a pass where an obvious DPI wasn't called.

Couldn’t be any worse then the last speedy guy they had.

this is possible. I would be disappointed with either of them  not being here for the short term as I haven't been as psyched about a receiving combo since that brief period when we had Mike Quick & Cris Carter (although I did like Fred Barnett & Calvin Williams too). Even Terrell Owens, as great a receiver as he was, didn't have great partners while here with Philly. 

[JohnB]

We currently have 9 receivers on the roster, according to PE.com, but how many are they likely to keep? 5? 6?

Quez may have produced more but he’s played on better teams with better QBs. I’m not saying Campbell is going to be a stud here. The evidence very much shows that Campbell is not going to be a stud and he’s not going to put up big numbers. But I do much prefer him to Quez who’s let this team down on a number of occasions.

Brown, Smith, Campbell, Covey.  Parker probably makes it.  That’s 5.

The rest are PS candidates at best.  I think the only way they get to 6 is if they draft a wr.

Has he though? Quez' most productive season came in Hurts' first year as a starter --- when he played on the outside. It was the trade for Brown that caused Watkins to move inside where as long as Sirianni has been here the slot receivers have been consistently unproductive.

Every player has some let downs. Some players get more opportunities to make up for them. There was a point two years ago where Watkins suffered a grade 2 (more severe than Jalen's)  shoulder sprain and he played every game after that. He played less physical due to the injury. There were a couple of questionable effort plays that led to a couple Minshew INTs and there was the non-called DPI in the Super Bowl where he failed to catch a ball he tried to reach out for with a defender hanging from his shoulder

Kind of hard to leap and extend with the full weight of a defender pulling you back down. Sadly, people would rather photoshop the defender out of their minds so they could point the blame at Quez. Finally, there was the unforgivable screen pass last year where Quez, in his first game back from the hamstring injury, didn't follow the designed blocks --- a play which totally took all the fun out of celebrating that win. 

 

I'm not saying people can't have their opinions. I do feel, though, that a lot of Eagles fans are sheep that just go with the emotional flow of the fan base. If you want a lot of likes for your social media posts just criticize the 3-4 least liked players on the team each year. 

 

How can anybody honestly say they prefer Campbell at this point when he hasn't even played a snap for this team? One big advantage Campbell's game brings is some open field running ability. If he becomes the slot receiver, that should help him on certain plays. But until we see how it works out, all we can do is hope at this point. Honestly, I'm more hopeful in the coaching change than the WR3 change.  The passing game shouldn't go through just 3 guys.

Haven't been an Eagles fan very long? It can get a lot worse than a 6th rd pick that averaged over 300 yards per season.

Why are we still talking about the stiff Quez Watkins? Quez Watkins is so good. Right? That's why no one has signed him yet. Guy comes up small all the time. And has gotten hurt a bunch as well. Plays scared and just doesn't have it. Don't need stats or pictures or anything else. The eye test says so. Reminds me of argument with Siposs at punter last year and when I came on here and said anyone is better and  the stats geeks told me he's really not that bad.And I said no, anyone else would be better. Braden Mann was up next and made us forget Siposs fast. You can watch the game and just know who sucks out there. And who chokes at the wrong time. It's that simple.

With a FA like Quez, getting a deal done comes down to accepting that your previous situation puts you in the "prove-it" category. While he and his agent want to see if they can get a longer, more secure deal done, it's just not realistic. So if his agent is smart, he will pick a landing spot where there is an established QB and at least one opening at WR. Right now, I'd be on the phone with the Chargers, trying to get that 1-year prove it deal in a good situation. But anyway, he'll find a new home soon enough. He just needs to lower his asking price. It would be a bad move for his agent to wait until after the draft.

The Eagles needed (these) two things the last 2 seasons. The first is a better slot receiver and the second is an offensive gameplan that utilizes the slot receiver as a viable chain moving target as opposed to a field stretching decoy. Watkins' best value was as a backup to Brown and Smith on the outside. His strengths were wasted and his weaknesses exposed as the primary slot WR. I may be in the minority, but I never bought into the anti-Quez movement. His mistakes were exaggerated. People talk about his "hands" as if they are awful, but he has a higher career catch percentage than AJ Brown and a lower career drop percentage (4.1%) than both Smith (4.3%) and Brown (4.5%). Anybody would be crazy to want to play Quez over Brown or Smith, so spare me the dramatics of the ol'

"How dare you mention Quez in the same breath as ..." 

I'm not equating players. I'm pointing out the baseless exaggerations people believe about 1 player. As for Campbell, Hopefully Moore will get the most out of him here. I suspect that he'll see more playing time than Parker. Campbell is probably a better open field runner than Quez which should help him succeed if he is asked to take a lot of snaps as the slot. He also has a good career catch percentage, so hopefully fans don't turn on him if he doesn't catch a pass where an obvious DPI wasn't called. 

Hey I get it, i was one of if not quez only defender, but his time here was stale, and the fans absolutely despised him, Paris isnt hated yet so in that sense hes an uograde.

That's the thing. Quez really wasn't a great fit as a slot receiver. They tried to take advantage of his speed primarily to stretch the field as a decoy. He's never going to pass Smitty or Brown on the depth chart, so it's in his best interest to move on and in the Eagles' best interest to find a better fit to play slot. I personally expect him to be a productive player if he finds the right fit --- sort of like Barnett did last season.

Yup, his 2022 year he was really good but he played opposite smith as more of a Z receiver.

I never really thought he was a slot guy, hes more a straight line if hes even hes leavin guy, plus it didnt help him that sirianni and BJ had absolutely no idea how to scheme him open.

The route trees that BJ Siri had their WRs running were a joke, i ran a more complete route tree in high school 

Quez has a good skill set, his speed,if a team uses him correctly, too bad it didnt work out for him, hopefully kellen Moore can get more out if Campbell.

Parris definitely came into the NFL with a better pedigree and higher expectations than Quez. However, I don't really understand how anybody can conclude at this point, he's an upgrade. As disappointing as Quez has been to many Eagles fans during his stay here, in 4 seasons he has managed to outproduce Campbell who was drafted a year earlier.

I can't find it on PFR but do we know what AJ and Devonta's running outside your blocks on a crucial 3rd down screen so badly even my wife spotted it and not making the 1st down like a dope percentage is?
