The Facts: Taking a look at the Eagles' receiving corps, there are very clearly four receivers who have a better chance of being on the roster than Green-Beckham in 2017. In fact, Philly Voice staffer Jimmy Kempski believes "Green-Beckham must be significantly improved to make the roster in 2017. If not, it's hard to justify his roster spot, unless, as HC Doug Pederson noted, some players go down."
Diehards Line:
During the 2016 season, Nelson Agholor received the bulk of the criticism aimed at the Eagles’ wide receiver corps, however, Green-Beckham might have been even worse. He led the team with 12 drops, letting 25 percent of catchable passes slip through his grasp. And it wasn't just drops. Green-Beckham did not play like a 6-5, 237-pound player should, more often than not losing to far smaller corners in contested catch situations. He was also guilty of offensive pass interference several times in the screen game, never correcting the mistake of blocking downfield too early, and costing the Eagles huge plays as a result. While still far from a very good group, the Eagles' receivers were upgraded this offseason with the acquisitions of Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith. Jordan Matthews is also a lock to make the roster (barring a trade). Agholor is also likely to remain due to a contract that makes it hard to cut him without paying a price. The fact that DGB doesn't play special teams won't help his cause -- especially if the Eagles land a wideout in the draft.
