The Philadelphia Eagles are currently 11-2 on the season, logging nine straight wins. They narrowly escaped with a 22-16 win over the Carolina Panthers last week but it didn’t come without turmoil.

Brandon Graham appeared on 94WIP, where he discussed the problems around Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown.

Graham said, “I know 1 is trying and 11 could be better with how he responds to things. They were friends, but things have changed.”

This comes after Brown seemingly took a shot at his quarterback following the win over Carolina. With all this drama coming out of Philly, the perfect WR addition is now available right before the playoffs.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter announced that the Patriots are waiving WR K.J. Osborn. It was a mutual decision after Osborn notched zero snaps in four of the last five games.

The Eagles have a 1-2 punch with Brown and DeVonta Smith at WR but after that, there isn’t much production. They traded for Jahan Dotson before the season started but he hasn’t been effective. He has 12 catches for 122 yards and zero touchdowns.

They also placed tight end Dallas Goedert on IR due to a knee injury.

Depending on if Osborn is claimed on waivers, the Eagles should look to bring him in and add another weapon to the passing attack.

Osborn has solid hands as a pass-catcher and would give them a better WR3 than they have on the roster. In his career, the Miami product has logged 165 receptions for 1,902 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns.

Bringing him into the fold on offense could have a positive effect, as he would provide them with another reliable force. Another reason this move makes sense is the fact that the Lions have an explosive offense (32.1 points per game) and are the Eagles’ biggest threat in the NFC.

Getting more offensive weapons is always a good idea and the ideal opportunity may have presented itself for Philadelphia.
