I could see that..
They might feel a need to respond to the Rams.
Stay in the NFC East try to exact his revenge on Dallas twice a year.
Unless he's washed up of course.

Eagles are not unlike the Rams where they already have a solid 1&2 in Alshon and Agolor and signed Mike Wallace as a deep threat.
Mack Hollins is 2nd year guy they are high on

Report: Most teams wouldn’t even sign Dez Bryant at the league minimum

Posted by Michael David Smith on May 2, 2018, 2:08 PM EDT

Dez Bryant‘s reputation in the NFL appears to be preceding him.

Bryant has indicated that he cares more about playing for the right team than making the right money, even suggesting that he cares more about staying in the NFC East so he can play the Cowboys twice than anything else. But there may not be many teams willing to sign Bryant for any amount of money.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that there are “far more” teams unwilling to pay Bryant the league minimum salary than there are teams that would consider signing Bryant for any contract.

That makes it all the more surprising that Bryant turned down an offer from the Ravens, which was reportedly in the neighborhood of the three-year, $21 million contract Baltimore previously gave to receiver Michael Crabtree. If most teams aren’t even willing to pay Bryant $1 million, why turn down an offer of $7 million?

If Bryant is truly willing to play for anything to stay in the NFC East, and Washington, Philadelphia and the New York Giants are all unwilling to offer him even the league minimum, that says a lot about what teams think the 29-year-old Bryant has left at this point in his career.

Eddie Lacy, Greg Robinson among remaining NFL free agents
https://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/201 ... among.html

The St. Louis Rams selected Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson with the second choice in the 2014 NFL Draft, right after the Houston Texans tabbed South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney as the No. 1 pick and the Jacksonville Jaguars made Central Florida quarterback Blake Bortles the No. 3 choice.

The Texans exercised their fifth-year option on Clowney's contract, which will pay him $12,306,000 for the 2018 season. In February, the Jaguars signed Bortles to a three-year, $54 million contract.

Robinson doesn't have a team. He's one of the many unrestricted free agents who haven't been signed since the NFL's 2018 business year began at 3 p.m. CDT March 14.

Running back Eddie Lacy also is in that group.

Lacy's draft profile wasn't as high as Robinson's -- going from Alabama to the Green Bay Packers with the 61st pick in 2013 -- but he quickly established himself as one of the NFL's toughest runners.

Lacy had 1,178 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns to earn the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award in 2013. The next season, his rushing yards went down slightly (to 1,139 on 38 fewer carries), but he caught 42 passes for 427 yards and four TDs in 2014.

Lacy and Robinson are among the 12 players from Alabama high schools and colleges who played in the NFL last season but don't have a contract yet for the 2018 campaign.

Last offseason, the Rams traded Robinson to the Detroit Lions after he'd started 42 games in three seasons. Robinson started six games for Detroit before an ankle injury cut short his 2017 season.

I forgot, did Lacy get hurt? I know he got incredibly overweight. But still, dude averaged 1100 yards and 12 tds his first 2 seasons. Should have a job somewhere....
