If Philadelphia doesn’t trade a wide receiver, they will have to cut a familiar name at the position on Saturday.
According to Reuben Frank of the Burlington County Times, the prime candidates are Reggie Brown, Hank Baskett, and Kevin Curtis.
Curtis’ inclusion on the list may turn out to be nothing, but it’s rather surprising. The former Ram led the Eagles in receiving with 1,110 yards in 2007, but has struggled with injuries since and apparently has endured an uninspiring offseason.
“I don’t have any concerns with Kevin,” offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said. “It’s just simple. If he’s healthy he’ll play at a high level.”
Frank isn’t completely convinced, and says that sixth-round pick Brandon Gibson is a safer bet to make the team after outplaying first-rounder Jeremy Maclin all offseason.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter said Wednesday that the Eagles are willing to trade Brown, so he still looks like the most likely goner. If Frank is right, another team could possibly nab Curtis for the right price as well.
