The Facts: In news from the past. ... The Eagles announced on Wednesday the release of Jeffery.
Diehards Line:
Jeffery arrived in Philadelphia along with wide receiver Torrey Smith in 2017 to provide proven playmaking talent at the position. A two-time 1,000-yard receiver with the Chicago Bears, Jeffery brought a presence and a swagger to the offense. Jeffery helped deliver the franchise's first Super Bowl title, setting the team records for most receiving yards (219) and touchdowns (3) in a postseason. He posted two touchdowns and 85 yards in the rout of the Vikings in the NFC Championship Game, then hauled in a spectacular throw from Nick Foles for the first touchdown of Super Bowl LII against the Patriots. Injuries marred Jeffery's final two seasons with the Eagles. He played in just 10 games in 2019, missing three of the final four games that helped catapult the Eagles into the playoffs. This past season, Jeffery had a career-low six receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown in seven games and now it's time to move on.
