Philadelphia Eagles fans are once again upset with wide receiver, Nelson Agholor, as he dropped another touchdown pass on Sunday.
There aren’t too many guarantees in the football world nowadays. For the Philadelphia Eagles, though, they can almost always count on their wide receiver Nelson Agholor to literally drop the ball in crunch time. It has just become routine at this point.
Now, Sunday’s loss against New England was far from being entirely Nelson Agholor’s fault. We understand the Eagles were missing critical playmakers, and the coaching and quarterback play was average to below average.
However, when a receiver, who is being paid over nine million dollars for this season alone, has the ball in his hands in the end zone with little to no contact — they are expected to catch the ball. When that receiver happens to be Nelson Agholor, though — the opposite effect occurs.
Eagles fans are flat-out tired of it. With only one decent season out of the former first-round pick at this point, many cannot wait until the fifth-year wideout is out of the picture. That can happen as early as this offseason since Agholor is currently playing on the final year of his contract.
While many cannot wait for the day the 2020 NFL new year begins — there are a handful of fans who would be more than willing to depart with the wideout at this point in the year if they were in Howie Roseman’s shoes. That clearly showed on Twitter after Agholor dropped a potentially game-tying touchdown pass on Sunday.
A look at some of the reactions
I don’t care how weak the Eagles receivers already are, but I would cut Nelson Agholor tonight. It’s happened way too much this season

It’s his free agent year. DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery and Jordan Howard are out today. $9.5M wilde receiver Nelson Agholor has taken this opportunity to have 16 receiving yards today. No one has ever wanted it less in a contract year than Nelson Agholor.
