Brown\u2019s close friend, college mentee to a 1-year contract"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Howie Roseman never rests, and after a short lull in free agency moves, the Eagles re-signed Fred Johnson on Tuesday, and agreed to a one-year deal with WR Elijah Moore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Heading into his sixth year in the league, Moore started his career with the Jets \u2014 a Joe Douglas draft pick\u2014 before spending time with the Browns and Bills. The Ole Miss alumnus is also good friends with Eagles WR1 A.J. Brown, with the latter being a mentor to the WR two years below him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Moore has played in 70 games through his five seasons, including 42 starts, and has recorded 2,274 receiving yards and nine touchdowns off 209 receptions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Notable about this move is what it means for A.J. Brown. The team bringing in one of Browns best friends could be used to placate the receiver and try to keep him happy in Philly instead of ultimately trading him at some point this offseason. Brown has often talked about how close he and Moore are, and credited his college teammate for helping him through his darkest moments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Moore will join a WR room that includes Brown, DeVonta Smith, newly signed Hollywood Brown, Johnny Wilson, Quez Watkins, Darius Cooper, and Danny Gray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Howie Roseman never rests, and after a short lull in free agency moves, the Eagles re-signed Fred Johnson&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":832367,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,6,5406,24295],"class_list":{"0":"post-832366","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-news","11":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-free-agency"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116288064810851298","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/832366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=832366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/832366\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/832367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=832366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=832366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=832366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
