Eagles to Reportedly Target Chiefs WR Demarcus Robinson in Free Agency
By Sean Facey
The Philadelphia Eagles are already looking toward next season despite the fact that one of their targets still has one game left to play.
As Demarcus Robinson tries to bring the Chiefs their first Super Bowl title since 1969, the Eagles are reportedly zeroing in on him as a possible offseason acquisition.

He'd make quite a fantastic add. Despite being on of the less targeted options on a stacked Kansas City offense, Robinson managed to haul in 32 catches for 449 yards and four touchdowns.
And it's no secret that the Eagles are in sore need of help in the receiving corps.
In 2019, they ranked just 20th in net yards per attempt at 5.9, and they didn't have a single wide receiver crack 500 yards. They simply didn't have the play-making, breakaway speed they needed.

That's what makes Robinson such an intriguing option for the Eagles. He could add an extra dimension to the passing game, taking them from a relatively bland offense to one of the more exciting units in the NFL.
