The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to show interest in free-agent wide receiver Kenny Britt, according to league sources.

Britt had a career year (68 catches, 1,002 yards, five TDs) for the Los Angeles Rams in 2016 while working with Mike Groh, who is now the Eagles’ receivers coach. The two grew tight during their year together in Los Angeles, so a reunion would likely be welcomed on both sides. Britt could also be drawn to the type of quarterback stability that Carson Wentz is expected to provide after being with one QB after the next during his eight-year career.

The Eagles are in the market for multiple wide receivers this offseason and are exploring all available avenues, including free agency, the trade market and the draft. ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported that they are potential trade suitors for New Orleans Saints wideout Brandin Cooks.

Ideally, the Eagles would like to pair a speedy receiver with a big target on the outside. Britt (6-foot-3, 223 pounds) fits that latter description. He scored four touchdowns on 11 red zone targets last season (and has 16 career red zone touchdowns in all). In theory, he would be able to help Wentz out when the field shrinks.

The Eagles have a pressing need but also parameters they would like to stick to. They want to be relatively conservative in free agency, spending wisely in the here and now so they’re not handcuffed down the line when the team is truly ready to contend. And they would prefer to invest in players who will still be in their prime as Wentz enters his. Britt is 28, young enough to think he may have a few seasons left before seeing a significant drop-off. He isn’t expected to command quite as much as some of the other top receivers on the market.

Alshon Jeffery, for instance, could get more than $10 million per year. Kenny Stills may end up in eight-figure territory as well, and might not get out of Miami to begin with. All things being equal, the Eagles would probably love to bring in the 24-year-old Stills given that he is the ideal age and also brings the type of speed that they’re dying to add to the outside, but it might not be feasible.

DeSean Jackson is a burner as well, but he’s 30 and could end up with a contract that is simply too rich for the Eagles’ blood. The Tampa Bay Bucs are a team to watch there.

When you consider age and cost, Britt is one of the few on the higher end of the market who fits.

That he is entering his ninth season and hasn’t been as productive overall as some other available receivers are reasons to challenge the potential move. Then again, those very factors will help keep his price down, relatively speaking. The more perfect the player, the higher the cost.

In Britt, the Eagles would get a potential short-term fix at a dollar amount they could live with, and a player who may have some untapped potential given the lack of quality quarterback play he has been surrounded with to date.

It is likely that multiple teams will be in play for Britt so it’s no sure thing that he will land in Philly, but the Eagles are expected to have an eye on him as free agency opens.
