Jordan Matthews Finds New Home With Philadelphia Eagles

Former Browns Wide Receiver Agrees to Terms With Eagles

Matthews Could Help Boost Eagles Offense

The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms with wide receiver Jordan Matthews, the team announced Tuesday.

Matthews, 26, was released by the Cleveland Browns on March 9 after four seasons with the team. He had 56 catches for 603 yards and three touchdowns in 2018.

The Eagles are hoping that Matthews can help boost their passing attack, which struggled at times last season. Matthews is a reliable receiver who can make tough catches and move the chains.

Matthews is expected to compete for a starting role alongside Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor. He could also help the Eagles in the slot, where they have been looking for a more consistent option.

The Eagles signed Matthews to a one-year contract worth up to $2 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Matthews is a welcome addition to the Eagles' offense, which is expected to be one of the most talented in the NFL next season. He gives quarterback Carson Wentz another reliable target to throw to.

The Eagles are hoping that Matthews can help them return to the Super Bowl after they lost to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII.
