Wide receiver waived today by Eagles

Now that wide receiver Hank Baskett has been placed on waivers by the Philadelphia Eagles, he's liable to draw heavy interest on waivers.

Before he was let go by Philadelphia, several teams contacted the Eagles about prospective trades for Baskett.

That included the Tennessee Titans, Chicago Bears, St. Louis Rams, Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns,Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a league source.
Baskett caught one pass for six yards Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. For his career, he has registered 72 receptions for 1,052 yards and six touchdowns.

Baskett received the second-round restricted tender of $1.545 million this year, so any team that claims him would assume that salary.

In 2006, Baskett became the second rookie in NFL history to post two touchdown receptions of 85 yards or more in a single season since the Green Bay Packers' Billy Howton did so in 1952
