NFL Rumors: Eagles listed as potential trade destination for Panthers WR

The Eagles had the NFL’s No. 2 scoring offense last season, largely thanks to the rapid rise of QB Jalen Hurts and the addition of Pro Bowl WR AJ Brown.
Factor in DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and newly-acquired scatback D’Andre Swift; Philly should have ample opportunity to be just as explosive through the air in 2023.
While Brown and Smith are firmly entrenched as the top pass-catchers, that won’t preclude them from making additional moves at wide receiver. We’ve previously discussed DeSean Jackson and Julio Jones as potential options, but both are at the tail end of their careers.
Philadelphia has recently been linked to a younger talent still trying to find his footing in the pros, Panthers’ wideout Terrace Marshall Jr.
“After averaging just 4.6 yards per target as a rookie, Terrace Marshall Jr. averaged 10.4 yards per target last season. Marshall is drawing rave reviews this offseason, and the Panthers might not want to trade an emerging player.
However, Carolina also signed Adam Thielen and DJ Chark at receiver during free agency, and they drafted Ole Miss receiver Jonathan Mingo in the second round.
With Laviska Shenault Jr. also being someone that new Panthers head coach Frank Reich wants to utilize on offense, there’s a chance TMJ is available in a crowded group. A team like the Eagles could be an exceptional fit with Marshall as another big-play threat in their offense.” — via Wolf Sports

Marshall, 23, was drafted by Carolina in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of LSU. After an uneventful rookie season, Marshall took a step forward last year, averaging 17.5 yards per catch and producing first downs on 24 of his 28 receptions.
The Eagles signed Olamide Zaccheaus in free agency to compete with Quez Watkins at WR3 but are always looking to improve. With Carolina’s offense still a work in progress under new head coach Frank Reich, perhaps a new scenery would serve Marshall best.
“Big, fast and talented, Marshall has the ingredients to become a solid starter in the league but has some questions to answer. With the departure of Justin Jefferson and with Ja’Marr Chase opting out, more targets and more shaded coverage ended up coming his way until he opted out at the end of November.
He looks much more comfortable outside than he does in the slot, and he’s a more reliable ball-catcher when he’s working the second and third levels. He’s a natural ball-tracker with a second gear and the catch radius to go get it, and his size gives him an advantage on 50-50 balls.” — via NFL.com
