Philadelphia Eagles five easiest roster decisions for the offense

It’s time for the Eagles to finally end the JJ Arcega-Whiteside experiment.

There’s this old philosophy that talks about captains going down with the ship. We get it. We completely understand its meaning. Very rarely, however, have we heard about ships going down because of the captain though unless, of course, you want to bring up The Titanic. Either way, that’s still a bad look.

Now, while JJ Arcega-Whiteside has never proven to be a leader on this team, in the locker room or on the field, we’d like to tie him to that sinking ship analogy. Ever since his selection by the Eagles with the 57th-overall selection, during Round 2 of the 2019 NFL Draft, he’s done nothing to prove that he’s worthy of the organization placing so much faith in him.

He was labeled, internally, as the second coming of Alshon Jeffery in his prime. Unfortunately, he more closely resembles the broken-down Alshon Jeffery that we last saw. Heck, Jeffrey Lurie might even look better running routes.

Okay, that last statement might be a stretch, but it isn’t much of one.

We realize that Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni calls him Philly’s ‘enforcer’ and all, but the jig is up. The Eagles’ brass isn’t going to pacify the fan base with that ‘this is the year’ rhetoric. The experiment has run its course. It’s failed, and it’s time to move on.

If the Miami Dolphins were willing to take Mack Hollins and give him playing time, we’re convinced that we can get something for JJAW. At this point, we’ll take anything, and yes, we do mean anything… a pack of crackers… more snacks in the break room… yes fans, anything!
