The receiving corps of the Eagles continue to transform this off-season.
Philadelphia will release Alshon Jeffery when the new league year begins next month, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.
Jeffery was a key part of the Eagles team that won Super Bowl LII, and in the post-season of 2017 made 12 receptions for 219 yards with three touchdowns. But he has not been able to play 16 games since that year, from 13 games in 2018 to 10 games in 2019, and only seven in 2020.
Jeffery got six passes for 115 yards last season with a knockout. He missed most of the year while recovering from the off-season footing.
Jeffery remained one season on the four-year extension of $ 52 million he signed with the Eagles in December 2017. He has 475 career receptions for 6,786 yards with 46 touchdowns between five years with Chicago and four seasons with Philadelphia.
Last week, the Eagles announced that they would release DeSean Jackson, who was carried through on the transaction wire on Monday.
