The supposedly rebuilding Eagles aren’t tanking for 2022 and after another solid free agent signing, the Birds could be a sleeper playoff team.
After adding Ryan Kerrigan to the roster, Philadelphia has won the Steven Nelson sweepstakes.
The 28-year-old Nelson has 68 career starts under his belt and offers the Eagles a talented cornerback opposite Darius Slay. The move will allow Zech McPhearson to get acclimated as a rookie, while Avonte Maddox the chance to slide back inside to the slot cornerback position.
