Takeaways and observations from Eagles trading Jalen Reagor to the Vikings

Takeaways and observations from the Philadelphia Eagles trading wide receiver Jalen Reagor to the Minnesota Vikings

The Eagles continue to make roster moves as just traded disappointing wide receiver Jalen Reagor to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a 2023 conditional fifth-round pick that can become a fourth along with a 2024 seventh-round pick.

It gives both parties a fresh start and Philadelphia the chance to move on from a draft night mistake that’ll haunt the franchise for years to come.

The Eagles could win multiple Super Bowls over the next few years and experts will still wonder what this team could have been with Justin Jefferson running routes.

With the addition of A.J. Brown and Zach Pascal to the roster, Reagor’s spot as a starter was no longer guaranteed, and the move gives Philadelphia more draft ammo over the next two years.

Here are takeaways and notes from the trade.
