Eagles Agree With Veteran WR

The 31-year-old has been in the league since 2015 as a first-round draft pick for the Miami Dolphins. He would spend seven seasons with them before being traded to the New England Patriots prior to 2022, where he played the past two seasons. His career best season came in 2019, hauling in 72 receptions for 1,202 yards and nine touchdowns.
After a career low 394 yards and zero touchdowns in ’23, the Pats released him after being unable to find a trade partner.
The Eagles are a team in search of wide receiver depth and production behind superstars A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, something that last season’s trio of Olamide Zaccheaus, Quez Watkins, and Julio Jones could not provide on a consistent basis.
At 6’3 and 215 pounds, Parker brings a body type that is more in the Brown/Jones mold rather than Smith/Zaccheaus.
