Dorial Green-Beckham traded to the Eagles

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Desperate for receivers, the Philadelphia Eagles acquired Dorial Green-Beckham from Tennessee.

The Eagles traded versatile offensive lineman Dennis Kelly to the Titans on Tuesday to get Green-Beckham, a talented player who has struggled with consistency and has been sidetracked by off-field issues.

"Obviously, he's made mistakes," Eagles personnel boss Howie Roseman said. "He's a kind-hearted kid and he has the right intentions. And that if you get a chance to really spend some time with him, you'll see that. He's not a locker room cancer at all."

Green-Beckham wrote on Twitter: "Philly here I come! Much love to all my teammates, coaches and fans in Nashville. Thanks for everything."

Tennessee has lost two tackles to injuries since the offseason program started, so Kelly gives them depth behind left tackle Taylor Lewan and rookie right tackle Jack Conklin.

Green-Beckham was a second-round pick last year after he was dismissed from the team at Missouri and transferred to Oklahoma, where he didn't play a down. He caught 32 passes for 549 yards with four touchdowns and immediately becomes one of Philadelphia's most accomplished receivers.

"He comes in with an opportunity, no promises have been made," Roseman said. "We felt comfortable to bring him in here to compete. He's physically gifted. He's 6-5, he's 240, he runs a 4.4. He's got a rare skill set. Now, there's a reason that he's available at this time. He's got to get more consistent. But for us and where we are in development, we thought it was a risk worth taking."
