I suspect that 12 positions are truly up for grabs.

Boutte could battle it out with Hollywood Brown on the outside while Lemon could play the slot as he primarily did at USC. With that said, I'd rather keep Boutte as injuries occur and/or Brown and Doubs will need a rest. Boutte isn't in a position to be demanding a trade anyways.

It’s not like the Eagles have a murderer’s row of WR talent. They have Devonta Smith, a talented rookie who could potentially be good. They have guys like Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore who have never reached their potential. They could use a good hands
guy.

There wasn't a lot of production behind Brown and Smith. You had Dotson with 18 receptions on 36 targets for 262 yards.

The Eagles had 1010 Offensive Snaps.
That resulted in 2622 Offensive WR snaps.
Brown had 843 snaps
Smith had 888.
Dotson had 599.

Wicks had only 408 snaps with the Packers, but missed 4 games. I figure they have him penned in to take Dotson's snaps and possibly some of AJ's. How many snaps Lemon get's will be interesting. Same with Marquise Brown if he makes the team..

Jalen Hurts is shrinking again, just like he did in college. He is hyper conservative and afraid to throw at times. He played with a chip on his shoulder entering the league, now he plays like a guy who got a massive contract and is comfortable.

Yeah. I agree. it's like his reads are: 1- Smith, 2- Brown, 3- Goedert 4 - "OH SH*T, i need to run for my life".

Anything beyond 3 and he has issues..

It's why I don't think that Boutte would want to go there. He'd be fighting for snaps behind Lemon and Wicks.

That's why I mentioned the Cardinals, Saints, and Commanders since they are lacking in WR depth behind their main guys. With the Cardinals, he'd potentially be teammates with Bourne.

I don’t have a very high opinion of Wicks. I initially threw Boutte/Douglas into the Brown conversation because of their contract situations. It won’t really matter much where Boutte wants to go, but the Pats would probably want to trade him to an NFC contender just because he has been a good soldier. NFL players don’t always have a firm grasp on “good” or “bad.” For all we know he’d love to go there.

If they trade for Brown and don’t give back a player there will be a roster crunch at the WR position by the end of preseason if everyone stays healthy. They will trade or cut outright some good receivers.

Yeah. So it's nothing but hearsay garbage that hasn't been substantiated by anyone. And you just regurgitate it like a good little lemming.

Perhaps we should ban all rumors and speculation and only include oriven statements and contracts, hopefully notarized.
