Alshon Jeffery (WR), Philadelphia Eagles

As well as a cornerback problem, the New Orleans Saints have also had a wide receiver problem. Last year, Michael Thomas caught almost 50% of passes completed by quarterback Drew Brees which is astronomical.

The franchise made a move and brought in the free agent and former 49er Emmanuel Sanders to add to the roster. He brings plenty of excitement and playmaking ability to Drew Brees’ arsenal but is he all that they need.

In the last three years in Philadelphia, Jeffery caught 165 receptions, 2,430 yards, and 19 touchdowns. Those numbers are even better than what Sanders did last year with the San Francisco 49ers and the seasons before.

If the Saints could add Jeffery as a No. 3 receiver, the team would have the best wide receiver core in the NFL. Tre’Quan Smith is just not cut out to be a wide receiver in the NFL, and this trade would fix offensive problems left by him.

The Saints have a capable offense. They have one of the better units in the league, but Jeffrey would take them to a new level.
