Eagles targeting veteran receivers on Draft Week

The Philadelphia Eagles are pushing to add a veteran playmaker to their offense.
After trying to obtain Larry Fitzgerald and Randy Moss, they are still looking. ESPSN's Chris Mortensen says the Eagles will actively pursue:

Chad Johnson: wants out but Bengals say no
Roy Williams: in final year of rookie contract and says he wont return to
Detroit in 2009
Anquan Boldin: unhappy in Arizona and asked for a trade Tuesday

Division rivals Washington and Dallas are also looking to upgrade at the position.

There's 3 receivers, so there is one for each of the teams.

And it seems like neither Ocho Cinco nor Boldin will get their requests granted. Maybe they should be traded for each other?

Re: Eagles targeting veteran receivers on Draft Week

Any of these guys would be a blessing for Donovan. Philly hasn't had a true #1 receiver for 2 seasons. Bring it!

Re: Eagles targeting veteran receivers on Draft Week

3 guys, all unhappy with their current teams and salary. Didn't we go thru this already with T.O.?? They may be good but I say no. We don't need that crap again. Let's take our chance in the draft.

Re: Eagles targeting veteran receivers on Draft Week

Andy Reid won't draft a WR in the first round and these 3 guys are stud receivers. In a draft, it would take time for a rookie to develop. Time that the aging Eagles don't really have. I'm tired of mediocrity..if the Igs need a jerk to get to the next level, bring the egomaniac!

Re: Eagles targeting veteran receivers on Draft Week

If the jerk was good enough to get us tot he next level I would agree. But of the 3 guys people named here only Johnson has the potential to be that guy. Williams and Bouldin are not at the same level he is. And Cincy has already made it clear they will not trade him. So we better have Plan B.
