  "account": "Marshall native Tahj Washington has found a new team as the Philadelphia Eagles signed the receiver. The Eagles waived WR Brandon Hayes and brought Washington on board. Washington had previously been waived by the Miami Dolphins. Washington was originally a seventh-round draft pick by the Miami Dolphins in 2024. Due to a torn ACL, he missed his rookie season but returned in 2025, recording three catches for 37 yards in six games. The Eagles now have a receiving corps featuring players such as DeVonta Smith, Makai Lemon, and Dontayvion Wicks. Washington, a standout high school receiver from Marshall, was named a freshman All-American at Memphis before transferring to USC. At USC, he finished his career with 163 catches and 2449 yards.",
