Three Eagles Who Can Not Be Back In 2022
Following a 31-15 beat down last Sunday in Tampa the Eagles have some very tough personnel choices to make. The Eagles showed a lot of growth this past year, but some Eagles can not return to the team in 2022. You can pick out a handful of options, but here are three of the biggest.
1. Jalen Reagor
The first one is the most obvious. A part of me is starting to feel bad for Jalen. He can not get anything to go right when he’s on the field. The coaches try different ways to get him the ball but nothing works. Philly fans will never get over Howie taking Reagor over Justin Jefferson, and rightfully so. It would be best for Jalen to move on from Philadelphia and go to a place he can try to revive his career while the Eagles look to find a legitimate wide receiver to pair with DeVonta Smith. The Eagles will probably keep Reagor and try to develop him, but for his sake and the city’s sake, he should move on.
2. Brandon Brooks
Remember him? Brooks last game played was week two and no updates were given on his status. While Brooks is a superior talent on the line, his injury history, and financial status are major influences to why he should be cut or moved on from. The Eagles had one of the best offensive lines play this season without him, there is no reason to pay him the amount he is owed when there are other alternatives. Brooks is one of the top interior linemen in the league and will likely have a vast market. What the Eagles could get for him, if anything, I do not know. I just know the Eagles should move on from Brandon Brooks this offseason. There have been rumors swirling around about a potential retirement from Brooks. While nothing is official if Brooks doesn’t decide to retire the Eagles still need to move on from him.
3. Derek Barnett
Last but certainly not least is defensive end, Derek Barnett. Barnett’s contract has officially run out, and I don’t see any way he returns in 2022. Barnett is just another player on the list of failed first-rounders for the Eagles. While Barnett flashed early in his career he never seemed to put it all together. Add in the boneheaded penalties he commits every week and his fate has been sealed with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles will look to upgrade at the defensive end position this spring, but Barnett is not part of the solution. Maybe another team takes a shot on him, but he should be done with the Eagles.
