The Eagles have made plenty of moves already to bolster their roster and today, they're hosting a wide receiver that saw some success when he was paired with Sam Bradford in St. Louis.
FA WR Chris Givens is visiting the #Eagles today, per source.

Chris Givens, 26, spent last season between the Ravens and the Rams, compiling 353 yards on 20 receptions while scoring one touchdown. Although those stats aren't anything that will turn too many heads, he has shown the ability to beat defenders deep with his speed, as shown below, getting past both Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas of the Seahawks defense a few years ago. Sam Bradford was the quarterback with the Rams at the time.
You want to see Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas get beat? Okay cool #SamGoodford https://t.co/6MB8pthdfh

In 2012-13 and 2013-14 with Bradford under center, Givens had 76 receptions for 1,267 yards and three touchdowns. The Eagles have Jordan Matthews, Nelson Agholor and Josh Huff as their receivers at this time, so Givens could provide some nice speed and depth to that trio of guys we all hope will develop nicely together next season.
