#Eagles are signing WR Jordan Matthews, per league source. Matthews is still just 26 and has an excellent relationship w/Carson Wentz. He caught 225 passes for 2,673 yards/19 TDs in 3 seasons as an Eagle. Matthews had his physical yesterday and should be playing Week 3 vs #Colts.

Jordan Matthews -- with the #Eagles from 2014-16 -- is one of only five receivers ever to amass 65 catches and 800 yards each of their first three seasons. And it's quite an accomplished list to be on: Randy Moss, A.J. Green, Odell Beckham Jr. and Mike Evans.
Eagles signed WR Jordan Matthews.
Matthews is still just 26 and was a 2014 second-round pick of the Eagles. He spent his first three years with the team but saw his career take a downturn after multiple injuries and was then shipped to the Bills in the trade for CB Ronald Darby. Matthews has a close relationship with Carson Wentz and knows the offense. He's expected to step in immediately as the slot receiver after the Eagles were forced to use TE Josh Perkins there last week against the Bucs. However, Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) could return this week.
Getting Wentz back, and at the same time signing his best friend Jordan Matthews to catch his passes
