Positions That Need Addressed in Free Agency
The Eagles completed their epic collapse down in Tampa last Monday, and it is clear that they are going to need help if they want to compete for a Superbowl next season. Howie is going to have to work some magic this off-season, and the Birds are going to have to have somewhat of a transformation. Lets look at the positions that need addressed this upcoming free agency period.
The first and most obvious position is Linebacker. They were a joke this season. It didn’t help that NaKobe Dean and Zach Cunningham couldn’t stay healthy, but it was still unacceptable. Howie is going to have to mix it up and prioritize Linebacker for once, and now is a good time to do it. Frankie Luvu, Patrick Queen, Azeez Al-Shaair, Devin White, and many more talented Linebackers are available. The Eagles need to pick up someone to pair with NaKobe Dean, and it needs to be someone with experience due to Deans lack thereof.
The next position group is Cornerback. The Eagles showed they have some young corners that had flashes of talent, but it wasn’t nearly good enough. Avonte Maddox was hurt again all season, and James Bradberry looked like trash. The Eagles are going to have to upgrade that position if they want to remain competitive against the high-powered offenses of the NFL. There is a ton of good talent out there this off-season. Jaylon Johnson, L’Jarius Sneed, and Chidobe Awuzie are all available and can provide a big upgrade over Bradberry. The Birds are going to have to keep developing their young guys if they want them to be able to be a starting caliber group of Corners, but for now they aren’t, so the Eagles need an upgrade.
The Eagles will start free agency out with a cap space of around $28,954,811. This should be enough for Howie to get someone in here to address the major positions of need.
