Eagles strike deal with top pick Reagor
Safety concerns answered or not, Eagles rookies are scheduled to begin reporting to the NovaCare Complex Tuesday.
That’s when first-round draft pick Jalen Reagor, the 21st overall selection in the draft, will undergo a physical and COVID-19 test after agreeing to terms on a fouryear contract Monday.
Scheduled is the operative word as the NFL and the NFL Players Association negotiate a safety plan.
Reagor agreed to a fully guaranteed four-year, $13.3 million pact with a $7.2 million signing bonus. The Eagles have a fifth-year option.
Previously the Eagles agreed to terms with offensive tackle Prince Tega Wanogho (6-5, 308), their sixth-round pick out of Auburn, and wide receiver Quez Watkins, a sixth-round selection out of Southern Mississippi. They approved four-year contracts worth $3.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
The Eagles still must agree to terms with secondround quarterback Jalen Hurts (Oklahoma), thirdround linebacker Davion Taylor (Colorado), fourthround offensive lineman Jack Driscoll (Auburn) and safety K’Von Wallace (Clemson), fifth-round receiver John Hightower (Boise State), sixth-round linebacker Shaun Bradley (Temple) and Casey Toohill (Stanford), the seventh-round defensive end.
Reagor caught 43 passes for 611 yards (14.2-yard average) and five touchdowns last season with TCU. He also averaged 20.8 yards on punt returns, taking two to the house.
Reagor clocked 4.47 in the 40-yard dash at the scouting combine, considered slow for a speed receiver. The Eagles are confident he won’t get caught from behind.
