The Philadelphia Eagles already have one of the most well-rounded teams in football, but could they get even better after the season?
Philadelphia is no stranger to adding talent. Howie Roseman is one of the most aggressive general managers in football. It wouldn’t be shocking at all to see him look to add even more talent to the franchise.
The Eagles are 8-2 and in first place in the NFC East. They are clearly in a good position and could very well compete for a Super Bowl title this season.
Once the season is over, it might make sense to add another receiver. The No. 3 receiver spot has posed problems for Philadelphia in recent years and the 2024 campaign has been no different.
There will be some intriguing players available after the season, including Cincinnati Bengals star Tee Higgins. ESPN Higgins ranked as a top free agent this coming offseason and Jeremy Fowler said there’s “little to no chance” he returns to Cincinnati.
“What we’re hearing: There’s little to no chance Higgins will be in Cincinnati beyond 2024,” Fowler said. “People I’ve talked to are very keen on this, barring a major surprise. A second franchise would cost the Bengals about $26.2 million for a one-year rental. Higgins wanted to leave Cincinnati when Last offseason, and the Bengals will likely allocate resources for a Chase contract, Higgins will have a strong market due to the number of teams in need of receivers and Higgins’ WR1 traits.
A move for someone like Higgins would be somewhat shocking with AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith on the roster. But it’s a funny thought. If they could somehow land Higgins, that would make for far and away the best receiving trio in football.
This definitely shouldn’t be considered likely and would require a lot of logistical changes, but it’s a fun idea.
