Grade Philadelphia Eagles release WR Brandon Hayes
Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
Eagles' quick waiver of Hayes suggests the UDFA signing didn't pan out as hoped. Media comparisons to Adam Thielen overstated potential; Hayes couldn't compete internally. The one-week timeline reveals insufficient performance in practice or preseason competitions. Fans questioned why the hype preceded actual evidence of NFL-caliber production. Philadelphia's pivot to other roster depth moves indicates Hayes remains a fringe prospect.
