Eagles still trying to accomplish 'improbable' Alshon Jeffery trade?
The Philadelphia Eagles have been trying to trade Alshon Jeffery since last season, and even though they haven't found any potential suitors, they haven't stopped trying to unload the injury-prone wide receiver.
According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Eagles are still trying to trade Jeffery, which is seen as "improbable." Jeffery's $9.91 million base salary and injury situation have contributed to teams not showing interest in him.
Jeffery has yet to practice this season after undergoing Lisfranc foot surgery. If he starts the campaign on the physically unable to perform list, Jeffery will miss at least the first six weeks of the regular season.
The 30-year-old made 43 catches for 490 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games last season. Since arriving in Philadelphia, he hasn't lived up to expectations. In three seasons with the Eagles, he has 165 receptions for 2,122 yards and 19 touchdowns.
He made the Pro Bowl in 2013 as a member of the Chicago Bears and put up his best offensive numbers during the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
