The Philadelphia Eagles have the task of replacing one of most, if not the most, explosive receiver in the NFL. Last month the Eagles infamously cut DeSean Jackson due to — well, we don’t really know — and that has now left a void in the offense that can’t be filled by a single player.

So, according to Bart Hubbuch from the New York Post, the Eagles are planning on replacing Jackson not with one player but rather a committee of them in 2014.

The Eagles went out and traded for Darren Sproles, already have weapons like Zach Ertz and LeSean McCoy on their roster and re-signed both Jeremy Maclin and Riley Cooper to decent contracts this offseason.

Jackson will be missed, and he’s a valuable players given how many are replacing him, but it’s clear the Eagles are moving on from releasing him and are spoiling themselves with the weapons they have.
