The Philadelphia Eagles have a bevy of different positions to address this offseason, but the one consensus among experts and analysts is that changes need to come in the secondary, and in a huge way.
In a survey from the guys at ESPN NFL Nation, Eagles writer Tim McManus predicts Howie Roseman and the Eagles will make a huge splash at the cornerback position.
Both starting corners from 2019, Jalen Mills and Ronald Darby are free agents. While it wouldn’t be a surprise if Mills were brought back into the fold, Philadelphia will want to import a proven difference-maker to hold down one side of the field. The Cowboys’ Byron Jones and the Broncos’ Chris Harris Jr. are among the top projected free-agent corners. Whether it be via free agency or a trade, Philly will make some waves. — Tim McManus
Guys like Logan Ryan, Darius Slay, Bradley Roby, and others could be in play as well. The Eagles don’t need to break the bank for a cornerback, but they indeed need an upgrade at cornerback and a guy on the roster that sparks fear in the opposing quarterback.
