Our long national nightmare is over: Quez Watkins is leaving the Philadelphia Eagles.
The free agent wide receiver is headed to the other side of Pennsylvania to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to NFL insider Jeremy Fowler.
Once upon a time, Watkins seemed like a relatively nice find for the Eagles after they selected him with a sixth-round pick (No. 200 overall) in the 2020 NFL Draft. The speedster logged 62 targets for 43 receptions, 647 yards (15.0 average), and one touchdown in 2021.
But Watkins’ numbers have only worsened since his second season.
