The Eagles have re-signed wide receiver Kamar Aiken, according to Field Yates of ESPN.com (Twitter link).
Philadelphia originally inked Aiken to a pact this summer, but released him during final cutdowns. He didn’t garner any known interest over the past week, except from the Eagles, who worked him out on Monday.
Aiken, 29, posted a disappointing 2017 campaign: instead of running with the Colts’ second wide receiver job, Aiken managed only 155 receptions and 133 yards in 15 games (seven starts). His last meaningful production came in 2015, when the former undrafted free agent put up nearly 1,000 yards with the Ravens
Philadelphia currently has six receivers on its roster, but Alshon Jeffery is expected to be sidelined for several more weeks. Nelson Agholor, Mike Wallace, and DeAndre Carter saw most of the work in the Eagles’ season opener, while Shelton Gibson and Markus Wheaton are also on the club’s roster.
155 receptions isn’t too shabby.
Dang, you beat me to it. I went to login and post a comment but now I don’t have to. Lol
Less than a yard per catch, tho, is why he was out of a job.
Solid point. Obviously, YAC isn’t a priority.
I’m impressed. That means he just stands at the line while the QBs deciding where to throw and somehow never gets coverage on him. But apparently he also just stands at the line after catching the ball as well.
This is literally deju vu of the last time the Eagles signed him and they had the same typo in the article.
