Trey Wingo appeared to call out NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport🐼 on Thursday in a post on X.
It started when Rapoport reported on a relatively mundane signing by the Eagles, who announced the ad༺dition of former Giants and Bengals receiver John Ross on a one-year contract.
That then led to Rapoport quotiꦓng the post by the Eagles about the signing and “An intriguing signing…”
That led to a rather snippy reply from Wingo — though its unclear if his post was meant in jest — about Rapoport’s thought.&n🍌bsp;
“Why? Name one꧒ thing abo♌ut it that’s intriguing,” .
Ross is a former first-round p🙈ick by the Bengals back in 2017, but his time in the NFL has been marred♋ by injuries.
He had signed a futures contract with the Chiefs in January 2023 but informed the team he 🅺was retiring seven months later.
Ross had accepted an invite to Eagles rookie minicamp as a tryout player and was signed following the retirement of DeVante Parker, w✃hich opened up a roster spot.
While Rapoport found the addition “intriguing,” users on social media seemed to be in Wingo’s camp about the signing.
“Yeah, Ian. While I’m happy to see John get another opportunity how is a guy who hasn’t played in a NFL game in 3 years & whose෴ best season saw him haul in 500 yards an intriguing signing?” .
“We are all Trey Wingo,” .
Ross’ two best seasons came during his time in Cincy, first in 2018 when he had a career-best seven touchdown catches beforꦰe a 2019 in which heဣ had a career-high 506 yards.
During his 🅷lone season with the Giants in 2021, Ross appeared in 10 games and made one starඣt, recording 11 catches for 224 yards and one touchdown.
