Officially released
The Eagles released Jeffery on Wednesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Jeffery's release had been set in stone for quite some time, given that he carried a $14 million salary cap hit for 2021. The 31-year-old is coming off the worst season of his career, having logged just six catches for 115 yards and a touchdown across seven games, all while battling injuries and suboptimal quarterback play. He'll now have to contend with a strong receiver class in free agency, perhaps foreshadowing a situation wherein Jeffery is forced to settle for a prove-it deal at his next landing spot.

Someone has to line up outside and catch passes for the Eagles. Last year, no wide receiver cracked 500 yards for the team that attempted the eighth most passes. Jeffery came the closest with 490 in 10 games, but per usual, injuries did him in, this time a Lisfranc fracture that required surgery in December. While Jeffery is expected to heal prior to training camp, it's a difficult injury, especially for a player of his size. Moreover, there have been offseason rumors of a rift between Jeffery and QB Carson Wentz, creating the possibility of a trade. Should he return to health, Jeffery will be playing somewhere. At 6-3, 218, he's massive, and his 80-inch wingspan is akin to that of an NBA shooting guard. At his peak, Jeffery ran a 4.48 40, but at 30 years old and with his history of injuries, those days likely are gone. Last year, Jeffery managed only 11.4 YPC and 6.7 YPT, both career lows, and had only six catches of 20-plus yards. While TE Zach Ertz has long been Wentz's favorite target, the rest of the Eagles' receiving corps is thin even with 33-year old deep threat DeSean Jackson presumably returning to health and first-round pick Jalen Reagor joining the team. Jeffery could still be a starter if he ends up staying.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
An option for New England
Jeffery could be on the Patriots' radar, Ryan Hannable of WEEI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jeffery was limited to just six catches in seven games with the Eagles last season, but if the 31-year-old can demonstrate that he's past the injury issues that slowed him last season, he's a player the Patriots could consider bringing in for a look. Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Jakobi Meyers look like roster locks at this point, but beyond that trio, there's potentially room for a player like Jeffery to carve out a depth role with New England if he's amenable to a team-friendly "prove it" deal.
