6. Justin Hardy

Before some fans ask why the Eagles would ever consider a receiver with a career high of 21 catches from both 2015 and 2016, keep in mind that Justin Hardy could be another example of a wideout that could shine elsewhere with new opportunity other than the Atlanta Falcons.

Since Hardy is currently part of an offense that already consists of Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, and previously Mohamed Sanu before he was traded, it has been difficult at times to see the necessary passes thrown in his direction.

If anything, the Eagles should not only consider the favorable price that Hardy would most likely cost, but also the fact that four of his 21 catches in 2016 happened to go for touchdowns.

Hardy is nowhere near the same level as Agholor at the moment, but imagine if a larger role on offense resulted in a move like this turning out to be a steal for Philadelphia.

As previously mentioned, sometimes certain players just need a fresh start on a new team with more of an opportunity to show off their skills, and even though there is no guarantee this would be the case with Hardy, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to at least give it a chance.
