3 Philadelphia Eagles whose demotions are long overdue

The Philadelphia Eagles won’t deactivate Jalen Reagor, but it would be nice if we saw him less.

If you didn’t know anything about the Philadelphia Eagles and you were looking for a take on Jalen Reagor‘s approval rating, this would be it.

You know how you get that warm and fuzzy feeling every time you think of Brian Dawkins or Jason Kelce? Well, any time Birds fans watch Jalen Reagor play, the reaction is totally the opposite.

Sure, he flashes from time to time. There was that punt return in Green Bay versus the Packers in 2020 and a decent catch versus the New York Jets in the first half of Week 13’s game this season (even though that’s long been forgotten following two huge drops on the final drive). Still, a decent catch and a nice punt return versus a lowly New York Giants team do not an elite receiver make.

Jalen Reagor won’t be given up on by the Eagles any time soon, even though they even realized they were getting nothing out of him in the return game and took the kick-return duties from him (that’s Kenneth Gainwell’s job now it seems).

Reagor has been abhorrent. There’s no nice way to say it. He’s so bad that we’ve, more often than not, forgotten about our disdain for JJ Arcega-Whiteside. That’s saying something.

Unfortunately, his benching doesn’t seem to be anywhere in sight. One, again, the leadership is stubborn. They invested a first-round pick in this guy and have issued a stern order stating that they want him utilized and on the field. Second, Philly has nothing to replace him with. Seriously, what are they going to do? Are they going to put John Hightower on the field?

We’re stuck with Reagor for a while folks!
