The Facts: The Eagles are expected to show interest in Britt, according to league sources.
Diehards Line:
Britt had a career year (68 catches, 1,002 yards, five TDs) for the Los Angeles Rams in 2016 while working with Mike Groh, who is now the Eagles’ receivers coach. The two grew tight during their year together in Los Angeles, so a reunion would likely be welcomed on both sides. Britt could also be drawn to the type of quarterback stability that Carson Wentz is expected to provide after being with one QB after the next during his eight-year career. The Eagles are in the market for multiple wide receivers this offseason and are exploring all available avenues, including free agency, the trade market and the draft. ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported that they are potential trade suitors for New Orleans Saints wideout Brandin Cooks. Ideally, the Eagles would like to pair a speedy receiver with a big target on the outside. Britt (6-3, 223 pounds) fits that latter description. He scored four touchdowns on 11 red zone targets last season (and has 16 career red zone touchdowns in all). In theory, he would be able to help Wentz out when the field shrinks. While there are bigger names, who will likely draw bigger paychecks, Britt would offer a potential short-term fix at a dollar amount they could live with, and a player who may have some untapped potential given the lack of quality quarterback play he has been surrounded with to date.
