5 notable wide receivers Eagles should sign after Alshon Jeffery injury

3. Pierre Garcon

Remember how much of a nightmare Pierre Garcon used to be to the Eagles during the five years the wideout spent as a member of the Washington Redskins?

Plenty has changed since the Redskins moved on from Garcon after the 2016 season since he spent two years with the San Francisco 49ers before the team decided to decline his contract option for 2019.

At first, it seemed like only a matter of time before Garcon found himself a new home since there was a time in which he was considered one of the fastest receivers in the NFL, but unfortunately the market has been tough for the veteran.

With this in mind, adding Garcon to the mix may seem like a move the Eagles want to avoid since no one really knows what kind of shape he would be in.

But if there were a way in which Garcon could return to his form from a few years ago since he did top the 1,000-yard receiving mark in 2016, this could be a surprise steal for Philadelphia to improve the passing game.

Garcon’s two years in San Francisco make this seem like a long shot to happen, but also the circumstances with the Eagles would be much different, so there shouldn’t be as much of a concern.
