Looking at the Eagles free agent list and players that Lazor is familiar with. I see both Maclin and Cooper as Free agents. Wouldnt mind bringing one of those guys in. Mike Wallace's contract is pretty bad though, dont know if we have any room left for another wr
 
Maclin is always hurt and Riley Cooper idk.. Would mean cutting Hartline probably to make room for any fa signing. Highly unlikely
 
No more FA WRs please. We had a chance to draft plenty of WRs and let Hartline go. Cordarrelle Patterson and Keenan Allen were recent examples with way better skills than what we had before paying Wallace. Just find a bigger redzone threat this year in the Draft and groom them to takeover for Hartline after he does nothing again this year
 
Well for starters Maclin is on his 3rd knee surgery and sadly on his way out of the NFL. Guy is a great WR, but not sure how he will do coming back from yet another surgery.

Riley Cooper was a product of the system IMO, he is average at best.

If you want to add another weapon on O, you are better off drafting.

Sammy Watkins
Marquis Lee
Mike Evans
Zach Ebron
Jace Amaro

1,016 yards with 13.4 avg per catch and around 66yards a game is nothing...:ponder: Now given his TD #s will never be high, he moves the chains and is the bail out opt for RT. May not have given him the money he signed for but still, he is far from "doing nothing" over the last two seasons. If our Offensive system is tweaked at all to be somewhat like it was in philly(just somewhat) then Hartline will become the role of Cooper or Avant(or w/e spelling is). If we get gibson back at his regular form, he will become what wes is to all qbs he has played for, the quick 2 step sling out for quick yardage, Hartline will become the second opt while Wallace is used like Desean in motion to break out the big play.
 
No and No. Injuries and product of the system are concerns with them respectively. Draft a WR, and I think Wallace, Hartline, Gibson sound better.
 
Every time I turned on an Eagles game and saw Cooper catching the football, he had nobody within five yards of him.

Buyer beware, IMO.

Product of Desean motioning all over the field to find the match up(something we probably rarely did, just line up, go.. go go) and Mccoy in the backfield. Much like Wallace was product of Big ben scrambling for extra 3 seconds and then launching the ball. People will see what they see, then they get the player they wanted and are baffled why numbers don't match up to previous season while ignoring the system they were in, how defenses played the other WRs on the field, etc.. People haven't learned from the David Boston era.

We are SET at QB and WR. Focus o-line as boring as corn feds are to people.. look what happens when you don't have them, a power back & who knows what the staff will do with TE spot.. clay would be good in new system again if its anywhere near Chip's style, but will still need a huge target for redzone
 
our receivers played good no need to bring in more
 
If Riley Cooper had controversy with the Eagles by dropping the N-bomb on tape, I don't think he'd survive in So. FL. He'd end up talking **** to someone down there and then it's Bullygate 2.0.
 
The best part of getting a new OC.

He will utilize Wallace more, I expect Wallace to have a D. Jackson type year.
 
I agree with Phinatic.

If there is one spot on this team that is pretty solid -- its our Wide Receivers. If you get a chance to draft Watkins or Evans, maybe you go for it if you've shored up our swiss cheese up front in free agency, but certainly not a free agent WR.
