Philadelphia Eagles Named Potential Landing Spot for Amari Cooper
The Philadelphia Eagles are being linked to veteran wide receiver Amari Cooper as one of the most logical fits now that he’s a free agent. NFL.com noted that general manager Howie Roseman has a reputation for pursuing experienced talent to strengthen the roster, referencing his past move to sign Julio Jones. With limited production behind star receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, the Eagles could benefit from Cooper’s presence as a reliable third option.
Though Jahan Dotson is currently listed as WR3, he only posted 216 receiving yards last season. Behind him, the Eagles have unproven options such as sixth-round pick Johnny Wilson and veteran Terrace Marshall Jr. Adding a receiver like Cooper could provide a stabilizing force in the offense, especially for a team aiming for another Super Bowl run.
Cooper is widely regarded as the best remaining receiver on the market. While no longer a primary deep threat, his strength lies in short and intermediate routes where he uses sharp route-running and separation. At this stage of his career, he profiles best as a secondary option in the passing game and could thrive in that role with a contending team like Philadelphia.
Meanwhile, other updates around the Eagles include AJ Dillon selecting jersey number 29 — a number once worn by both DeMarco Murray and LeGarrette Blount — and recent efforts to improve the linebacker unit through the draft. After losing several key defenders this offseason, the Eagles reloaded by re-signing Zack Baun and drafting Jihaad Campbell and Smael Mondon Jr.
Elsewhere in league news, Britain Covey has signed with the Rams after spending three seasons with the Eagles as a return specialist. The Eagles also saw long-time scout Anthony Patch leave for a front office role with the Raiders. Despite these changes, Philadelphia remains one of the top-ranked teams following the draft, maintaining high expectations heading into the 2025 season.
