Posted 13 hours ago13 hr A 5th and a next year 6th for a guy who was a 5th and hasn't really shined. I get it that Manion has experience with him, but so what. Just look at the Eagles WR romm as it stands and tell me how it adds up.AJ is still here, but let's assume he won't be. DeVonta Smith will be our #1 and they signed Wicks for 2027 so the only sure things are DeVonta's status and that Wicks will be here. Returning we have - Darius Cooper, Britain Covey, Danny Gray, Johnny Wilson, and Quez WatkinsThen there's the new additions - Hollywood Brow, Elijah Moore, and WicksHow many will they keep - 5 or 6Covey is the only returner among them and Wilson is the only coverage team special teamer. None of these guys has elite size. Do we still add one on the draft's second day?Help me understand this move.
12 hours ago12 hr Camp body? A move that Mannion made?They keep adding WRs. Can't have them all on the roster.

12 hours ago12 hr Green Bay’s offense spreads the ball around to different receivers….looks like that’s the plan here. no main alpha type wr. I’m sure aj will love that approach.

10 hours ago10 hr He is under contract for 2027. AJ is tradable after 2026. If AJ is still a loser weirdo then he is gone.DeVonta, AJ, Hollywood, Wicks, and Goedert is a top level pass catcher group for 2026 (assuming AJ is not a PoS)Green Bay threw the ball to multiple pass catchers. 5 with 44+ targets. Dotson was 4th on the Eagles at 36.The offense was simplified in 2024 because they had a 2k rusher and a running QB. Of course you run for 3048 yards and 29 TDs.The offense was simple in 2025 because Siri and Patullo are simple. The O-line was also a mess.The offense in 2026 will be more aggressive and advanced but not stupid risky. All these targets will contribute.In 2022 Hurts had 3700 yards passing in 15 games with Siri shutting down the offense in most 4th quarters.They could easily have passed for 5k in 17 games. They had 4105 even with soft Siri.In 2023 Hurts passed for 3858 with a simpleton at OC and soft Siri.Soft Siri has been lobotomized.This team was:3 3 on offense in 2022 (should have been 1 1)7 8 on offense in 20237 8 again on offense in 2024. (and Top 5. Top 8. Top 8. With a SB MVP, 2nd team all-pro, playing like a Hall-of-Famer, QB.Look at this as a continuation of 2021-2024, not anything to do with the Patullo/Siri middle fingers to the team and fans that was 2025.
10 hours ago10 hr My take:He's not an AJ Brown replacement. He's not good enough for that. He is however, good enough to earn a WR 3 spot and hold it down for 2 years. At worst he becomes the WR 4 behind Hollywood. Quality depth that can help win now was needed, and the Eagles got that in Wicks. I'm good with this trade.
10 hours ago10 hr I don’t get why @Godfather and @hputenis enjoy stroking each other while they defecate on @olsilverhair but sometimes you just gotta accept that you’re never going to understand everything and move on since you have no control over the situation.

8 hours ago8 hr My view is AJ is gone June 1 for a first rounder next year and a conditional second day pick.We will only add a WR or possibly an elite TE in the draft if someone drops that we like and think is value.Davonte will be the clear #1 (which he was already but AJ cried for balls that should have gone to him).Hollywood, Wicks and Wilson will be the remaining group in a spread the ball around strategy with one or two of a draft pick, Covey, Moore or Gray making the team. We will also draft a TE in rounds 3-4 who could have an impact alongside Goedert at some point this year. We might even go with 6 WRs and only 3 TEs if we like the rookie TE we draft. We will not have a strong WR group this year, but if they remain healthy and we’ve added a couple quality OLs, they will be ok and we will have an extra first round pick for next year and will address the position in what may be a good draft.
