Philadelphia Eagles Seeking WR3 Solution: Who Are the Top Candidates to Sign?

In their 16-13 Week 1 preseason victory over the Baltimore Ravens, the Philadelphia Eagles showcased some promising young talent but also highlighted a critical area of concern: wide receiver depth. As the team looks to build on a strong roster, the third receiver spot behind stars A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith remains a glaring need.

Rookies such as running back Will Shipley and linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. made notable impressions at M&T Bank Stadium, but the Eagles’ wide receiver situation is far from settled. With Brown and Smith anchoring the receiving corps, the challenge lies in finding reliable support behind them.

Johnny Wilson, a rookie sixth-round pick from Florida State, is in the mix, but making an impact as a Day 3 draft pick is a tall order. Fellow rookie Ainias Smith, a fifth-round pick, has struggled during camp, adding to the uncertainty. Parris Campbell, signed to potentially fill the third receiver role, has been hampered by a groin injury and a checkered injury history since his 2019 draft. Meanwhile, Britain Covey, who has seen limited action in his two NFL seasons, is also vying for a spot.

With limited options available on the free-agent market, the Eagles could consider signing one of the following receivers to address their depth concerns:

Hunter Renfrow

Once a promising talent with the Las Vegas Raiders, Renfrow’s production has significantly declined over the past two seasons, with injuries playing a role. Despite his earlier success, including a Pro Bowl nod in 2021, his lack of a current team raises questions about his fit and health. At 29, Renfrow could provide a shifty option for the slot, but his extended availability in free agency suggests caution.

Michael Thomas

Michael Thomas, a former NFL superstar, set the league on fire with record-setting seasons and multiple Pro Bowl appearances. However, his career has been marred by injuries and off-field issues, including a recent arrest and a tumultuous end with the New Orleans Saints. Despite his past accolades, Thomas’s inconsistent performance and off-field problems may deter the Eagles unless they face a dire need.

JuJu Smith-Schuster

Recently released by the New England Patriots, Smith-Schuster had a disappointing 2023 season with just 29 catches and one touchdown. The Eagles had previously shown interest in Smith-Schuster, and his familiarity with the slot role could make him an intriguing option. His connection to the Chiefs, including a memorable Super Bowl encounter with the Eagles, adds a layer of drama to any potential signing.

As the Eagles continue to prepare for the 2024 season, adding depth at wide receiver will be crucial to complementing their dynamic duo of Brown and Smith. The decision on whether to bring in one of these free agents could significantly impact their offensive strategy and overall success.
