Jalen Reagor hasn’t had the start to his NFL career he or the Eagles were hoping for. That has led many to believe his days in Philadelphia are numbered. On that point, Tim Kelly of 94WIP reports that teams are showing interest in trading for him.

The 23-year-old was a first-round pick in 2020. He was highly touted as a vertical threat after a productive college career, but that hasn’t translated yet to his NFL tenure. In 28 games, the TCU product has averaged a healthy 10.9 yards per reception, but only totalled 64 catches for 695 yards and three touchdowns. With that said, he has also contributed on special teams as a returner.
As Kelly details, trading Reagor would be preferable to a release from a financial standpoint. Cutting him would incur dead cap charges of $7.8MM or just over $6MM, depending on if it happened before or after June 1st of this year. By contrast, a trade would lower those figures to $3.6MM and $1.8MM, respectively.
Whether teams are willing to trade for Reagor and whether the Eagles are willing to move on from him are, of course, two very different things. Philadelphia has him under contract for at least two more seasons (three if they were to pick up his fifth-year option), and his age and upside would have to weighed against, in all likelihood, a meager trade return. The Eagles have also prioritized adding to the WR room this offseason, though they were unable to land the likes of Calvin Ridley, Allen Robinson and Christian Kirk.
Many expect the Eagles to target a pass-catcher with one of their two remaining first-round picks later this month in the draft. Especially if they do add to the position, it might not come as a surprise for trade talk surrounding Reagor to increase.
Trade him ASAP. I don’t care what they get in return. Cut the cord on this guy.
I would take a 50% off coupon for crab fries at Chickie’s and Pete’s at this point.
Julio Reagor and Smith
Size speed and route running
I’d have Smith operating out of the slot most the time with Julio and Reagor on the outsides. Hurts is a running QB and most of his passes will be short over the top slings. In which he can aim for Smith Goedert and Sanders.
Then out wide Julio and Reagor keep the secondary honest otherwise they get burnt
Trade him ASAP
He’s lost all confidence. Gets worse every game. Trade him to the first team that offers a 5th round pick. He can’t play in Philly.
So he was a good fit with Wentz.
Not sure he’s really even worth a 7th round pick offer? If so…. Da Bears should be on line one
Is this guy really that bad? Or is it just the Justin Jefferson comparison that gets eagles fans mad at him? Little bit of both?
Little bit of both. Of course Agholar was very similar and drew the fire of the fan base. They didn’t dump him because he was a solid teammate and put in the effort, the results just weren’t there. Eventually he found his groove and contributed. And these two have had very similar results through 2 seasons.
Agholar was too streaky. He had a good season and a half. Other than that he stunk. Reagor is a actually worse. Time to cut bait and move on. Undrafted guys out played him the past 2 seasons.
Through 2 seasons Agholor-Reagor:
Games 28-28
Targets 113-111
Catches 59-64
Yards 648-685
TDS 3-3
Still think “Reagor is actually worse”? Agholor didn’t turn into a star but he has been a solid WR
2015 23-283 1TD
2016 36-365 2TDs
2017 62-758 8TDs
2018 64-736 4TDs
2019 39-363 3TDs (missed 5 games)
2020 48-896 8TDs
2021 37-473 3TDs
Makes so many mental mistakes……Unlike Agholor!
Did you actually watch Agholor’s early days as an Eagle? His mistakes and drops were very prominent. Again, Reagor may not evolve into a #1 anywhere, but he could have a decent career in this league with a chance of scenery.
people talk about Jefferson way too much but Reagor is really that bad.
Reagor is a speedy WR who can’t run routes, drops anything thrown at him, and can’t even do an average job as a punt or kick returner. He would make the perfect WR for the Raiders when Al Davis was still around.
I agree that it’s a confidence issue. He can’t catch passes, he can’t run end arounds and he can’t be a minimal punt returner – that assuming he catches the punt. Trade him for a 7th.
The Jets may offer Denzel Mims for him straight up.
This may quash any chance of that: link to fansided.com
Trade him for Nkeal Harry
Im sure the bears are interested, because he sucks. Right Georgie
He stinks. I’d be surprised if you can get anything for him. He and Whiteside are two wasted picks and guys like Metcalf, Samuel, j. Jefferson and a few others could have been taken in back to back years. The Eagles don’t draft well historically when it comes to receivers. Most recently there’s Smith who is a good pick but there are many others like Reggie Brown, NA Brown, Freddy Mitchell all busts.
From who? The CFL? Trade him to the 49ers and watch him get 1000 total yards and 9 total TDs lol.
The 49ers distinctly didnt want Jalen Reagor, and even had him as high as a late 3rd Rounder maybe even an early 4th draft grade from what I remember around that draft.
Kyle and John Lynch were “ALL-IN” on Deebo, and they even had him as their 1b WR that draft.. because of his YAC abilities, his abilities to bounce off big-time would be NFL quality prospects trying to bring him down each and every week, and then they still drooled over his potential with having an even more capable QB to get him the ball all around the field in various ways…
Sometimes it is the system, but alot of the time it is just not scouting the correct player. “Raeger is a fast, playmaker, let’s get him…He will definitely help us out, and we will figure out how to use him later…”
4 out of every 5 coaches or GMs that give that stupid statement, end up being fired shortly there after in a year or two, and said player’s career was doomed from the beginning.
Great, but what does any of this have to do with the 49ers? BTW some teams had Lance as a 3rd round talent but it didn’t stop that brain trust from giving up way too much for a reach where they got him and we all see how that worked out.
There’s a difference between not producing and being an absolute liability, and Reagor emphatically lands in the latter category. Whenever the ball is thrown, kicked or punted to him, I’m holding my breath, and rightfully so. The guy is a human “Not Top 10” Reel.
I’m not dissing him as a guy. He’s took the criticism like a champ last year. It’s worth noting that the guy is so young that he could still be on his parent’s insurance for a few more years, and he’s dealing with Philly criticism.
I hope he’s able to right the ship for himself elsewhere, but it isn’t gonna happen in Philly.
well said
You shouldn’t draft punt returners in the first round. Reagor sucks as a receiver.
He also sucks as a punt returner !
It’s not really that he’s not productive, it’s that he’s often counterproductive: ie muffing punts, going backwards on punt returns, dropping potential TD passes thrown right to him. Maybe he’s trying to hard, but for everyone involved a change of scenery is called for. Hopefully Howie doesn’t hold out too long for the ‘right offer’ that will never come. Get what you can and move on.
How many first round whiffs is Howie allowed?
looks like with his new 3 year extension…2 1s this year, 2 next year , plus 2024’s first puts him at like 5 more at least
