Teams watching Eagles' wide receivers
Paul Domowitch
At least two teams – the Ravens and the Jets – are keeping a close eye on the Eagles’ wide receiver situation.
The Eagles have an excess of wealth there right now. There’s a good chance they’ll deal one of their wide receivers – perhaps Reggie Brown – before the final roster cutdown.
The Jets don’t have much experience at the position beyond Jerricho Cotchery. The next four wideouts on their depth chart have a total of 92 career receptions.
The Ravens, coached by former Eagles assistant John Harbaugh, also need help there. Aside from starters Derrick Mason, who had to be coaxed out of retirement, and Mark Clayton, they don’t have much. Right now, their No. 3 wideout is Demetrius Williams, who has just 55 catches in 3 NFL seasons. After him, bubkis.

In another wide receiver note, Chester product Shaheer McBride was cut by the Eagles yesterday after spending all of last season on the Eagles' practice squad.
McBride told the Daily News' Joseph Santoliquito today that he has not given up hope of latching on with another team, although there is no activity on that front at the moment. McBride said he just had to be patient because the situation was out of his hands.
"Any opportunity is better than nothing," he said.
Isn't this a change! Another team wants our castoff recievers? And they are in the NFL? Wow come a long way since the Small/Johnson days!
If they can get a 5th round pick for GLew, I'm sure they can get something good in return for Downtown Reggie Brown! (insert sarcasm)— MilesDyson

- I like the way you're thinking dan...— sicarius
- Trade would be nice to get an extra draft pick, but those teams are just as likely to wait til the Birds cut one of 'em.— Tacklebury
- The Eagles should trade Brown to Denver for Brian Dawkins?— mikegdj
brown & booker for a BRAND HUGE HIGH DEF SCOREBOARD— daveH- If we could get a 6th round pick for Reggie Brown I would be happy.— ChrisM
- Great. Let's trade Reggie for five 6th round picks, so we can stock up on "value" players with knee injuries.— IgglesFan79
