Eagles made the right choice in signing Alshon Jeffery over Terrelle Pryor

The level of interest the Eagles had in wide receiver Terrelle Pryor last March isn’t clear.

They definitely kicked the tires and talked to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. But ultimately, they decided to take what was behind Door No. 2 – Alshon Jeffery.

Through the first six weeks of the season, neither Jeffery nor Pryor has set the world on fire. At least not yet.

Jeffery, who signed a one-year, $9.5 million deal with the Eagles with another $4.5 million in attainable incentives, has put up respectable numbers in his first six games in midnight green – 24 catches (17 for first downs), 13.
