Doug Pederson said Wednesday that the Eagles are not trying to trade for a wide receiver, contrary to some reports.
Pederson says no legitimacy to wide receiver trade rumors.

It makes sense that they would be, though, as the team could use a deep threat to help quarterback Carson Wentz. Reports had linked them to this player, and he would have made a lot of sense. Perhaps he still might and Pederson is throwing up smokescreens. With the NFL trade deadline less than a week away, we will soon find out.
