Ex-Eagles 1st-round pick trolls Pats on IG, promptly gets released image

Jalen Reagor, the former first-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020, is looking for a new home due to a hilarious Instagram post gone wrong. 

In a since deleted post, Reagor shared the famous meme of a $2 million Bugatti Veyron parked in a mobile home park. It did not take long for fans to screenshot and share the photo on social media, speculating that Reagor was referring to himself as the “Bugatti” of the New England Patriots’ “mobile home” practice squad. 

While that is an excellent use of social media right there, the Patriots did not find Reagor’s post as funny as the rest of us. They promptly released the former No. 21 overall draft pick off their practice squad on Tuesday afternoon.

The beat goes on for Reagor’s NFL career. The former TCU star lasted just two seasons in Philadelphia before he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings for conditional fifth- and seventh-round picks. New England signed Reagor to their practice squad last year, and he ended up playing in 11 games for them, catching seven passes for 138 yards and returning seven kicks for 221 yards and a touchdown.
