Philadelphia, PA – June 3, 2025
It’s not every day that a top-five pick hits the market after years of underwhelming stats — but when it happens, savvy teams don’t hesitate. The Philadelphia Eagles are circling, and what they see isn’t a bust. They see a misused star, a rare physical specimen buried beneath bad play-calling and worse quarterbacking. What Atlanta wasted, Philly is ready to weaponize.
The player in question is a tight end unlike any other — towering frame, wide receiver speed, elite hands — but his career in Atlanta has been marred by confusion. Despite flashes of brilliance, he was never deployed as a true focal point. Instead, he was slotted awkwardly into schemes that treated him like a standard-issue blocker or possession outlet.
“If you’re drafting a unicorn, don’t cage it in a box,” one NFC assistant coach anonymously said, clearly throwing shade at Atlanta's offense. “Philly knows what to do with weapons like that.”
And the Eagles? They’ve quietly built one of the NFL’s most dangerous offenses by embracing positionless football. With a dominant offensive line, a mobile QB in Jalen Hurts, and a coordinator who thrives on mismatches, adding another chess piece isn’t just a luxury — it’s a nightmare for opponents.
Insiders suggest the Eagles have made exploratory calls, intrigued by what this star could become in midnight green. With Dallas Goedert approaching 30 and the depth chart thin behind him, the timing couldn’t be better.
Analytics back it up. According to PFF, this player still posted a top-five separation rate among TEs last year — despite subpar QB play. And red-zone efficiency? Criminally low targets considering his size and vertical ability. In Philly’s high-octane system, he wouldn’t be ignored.
“It’s not that he failed,” one league source noted. “He was failed.”
Atlanta may soon regret letting go. But for Eagles fans, the prospect of rescuing a fallen star and unleashing him in a system built to maximize chaos? That’s a dream come true.
And if the deal goes through, one thing’s certain — what Atlanta wasted, Philly will unleash.
