3. Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles adding A.J. Brown this offseason set off a chain reaction that pushed everyone else down the depth chart. It made Devonta Smith a talented number two and made Quez Watkins the complimentary slot that he should be.

The team also signed Zach Pascal, so he is locked into a fourth wide-out role. This leaves some names such as Greg Ward, John Hightower, and Jalen Reagor. Ward may be the most valuable to the roster because of his versatility and special team play.

Beyond that, the team may be ready to move on from Jalen Reagor, who is carrying the weight of being drafted ahead of Justin Jefferson. Reagor is a player who needs a fresh start, and while he has had a good preseason, a lot of that can be overhyped because the team is looking for a trade partner.

If worst comes to worst, they may cut him instead of keeping him as their fifth wide receiver at best. Again, Reagor is a player who could certainly make Dante Pettis expendable, especially with return game ability.
