9 recently cut or waived players the Eagles should consider adding

We’re looking at nine recently cut or waived players the Philadelphia #Eagles should consider adding to the 53-man roster

Like the Eagles, the rest of the NFL trimmed their rosters down, with hundreds of players hitting the waiver wire, able to be claimed and brought onto a new team.

Philadelphia is 31st on the waiver wire list, meaning they won’t have the first shot at many of the available free agents.

All 32 NFL teams have until 12 p.m. ET on Wednesday to submit claims.

Here are a nine players Philadelphia should consider who have either hit the waiver wire or become free agents within the last couple of days

Vikings waive former Eagles first-round pick Jalen Reagor

The Minnesota Vikings are moving on from former Philadelphia #Eagles first round pick Jalen Reagor in a 53-man roster move

Howie Roseman is the talk of the NFL world because of his recent success, but his most glaring draft mistake has resurfaced as a 53-man roster cut.

Adam Schefter reports that the Vikings are waiving wide receiver Jalen Reagor after failing to find a trade partner before the deadline.

Minnesota acquired Reagor from Philadelphia almost one year last summer, in exchange for a mid to late-round pick.

Reagor was drafted with the No. 20 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft, ahead of Minnesota Vikings All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

Roseman’s penchant for drafting Georgia players and selecting guys with pedigree started after this blown opportunity he’s admitted to on multiple occasions.

Reagor had eight catches for 104 yards and one touchdown last season and has played three NFL seasons for the Eagles and Vikings. Overall, Reagor has logged 72 catches for 799 yards, five touchdowns, and 61 punt returns for 488 yards.

That is a four-game stretch for Jefferson, who has logged 324 catches for 4,825 yards and has scored 26 touchdowns.

Jefferson has been selected to 3 Pro Bowls and has won 1 Offensive Player of the Year award.
