2. The Eagles need to find Alshon Jeffery’s eventual replacement
With how the Eagles’ offense currently stands, Jeffery is the big, physical option at wide receiver. But over the last two seasons, Jeffery’s production has taken a noticeable dip.
The veteran wideout has combined for 108 receptions, 1,333 yards, and 10 touchdowns in the past two seasons. Considering that he carries a $15.6 million cap hit in 2020, the Eagles want to see more from Jeffery next season.
In the event that Jeffery disappoints again next season, it could be his final year with the Eagles. Philadelphia can release Jeffery ahead of next year’s training camp and free up $13 million in cap savings.
When the moment comes for Jeffery to depart, the Eagles need a physical receiver to take his place. Without a doubt, Shenault perfectly fits the mold. At 6-foot-2, 220 pounds, Shenault proved at Colorado that he isn’t afraid of contact while corraling catches.
