The Philadelphia Eagles made several key moves this offseason, none more important than the additions to the secondary.
Darius Slay is the big name, but Nickell Robey-Coleman and Will Parks bring swagger, versatility, and confidence to the Eagles on bargain salaries.
It is that cheap cost that allowed ESPN’s Field Yates to label the addition of the two defensive backs as the most underrated move of the offseason.
The Philadelphia Eagles added two players to their secondary — slot cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman and safety Will Parks — for less than $3 million combined for this year. Even though neither projects to start, the Eagles know the importance of depth in the secondary after theirs was tested so severely last season, and each player adds pedigree to this position group.
Both players figure to see a lot of time early on and depending on how training camp shapes out, Parks and Robey-Coleman could very well indeed be starting because of the toughness they bring to the lineup.
