Eagles Need To Get Comfortable With A WR3

When it comes to the default 11 personnel grouping Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore prefers there is no clear option for the so-called WR3 position.

Philadelphia has the luxury of having two star receivers in A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith with the flexibility to handle any of the traditional three roles: X, Z or slot/flex.

The leader in the clubhouse for the WR3 role would be free-agent signing Parris Campbell, who got the majority of work in the spring. John Ross, once a 2017 top-10 pick trying to reboot his career as a late-signing after coming as a rookie camp tryout player, showed he's still got twitch in his body and was earning some first-team reps in mandatory minicamp.

Contracts don’t tell you everything, but they offer hints and Campbell and Ross signed for one year at $1.125M, the veteran minimum, highlighting that the Eagles are hardly married to either option.
