Report: Eagles to target WR Kenny Stills in free agency

Brandon Apter, Sports Talk Philly editor  

The Philadelphia Eagles have a variety of holes to fill this offseason, one of the most glaring at wide receiver. According to NJ.com, the team plans to pursue wide receiver Kenny Stills if he becomes a free agent on March 9.

The 24-year-old finished with 42 catches, 726 yards and nine touchdowns last season and the Dolphins have exclusive negotiating rights with him until March 7 if they want to resign him.

The Dolphins will likely have to commit some money to Jarvis Landry this offseason and they also have $16 million tied to wide receiver DaVante Parker. In addition, they drafted a wideout in the 2016 NFL Draft, so even if they want to keep Stills in Miami, they have a lot of money already going towards their receiving corps.

In four NFL seasons, Still has 20 total touchdowns, averaging 16.7 yards-per-catch

The Eagles are in desparate need of a playmaker outside of Jordan Matthews at wide receiver. Nelson Agholor has consistently unperformed while Dorial Green-Beckham and Bryce Treggs seem to care more about night-life than catching footballs.
