Vinny Curry named the Eagles most improved player by PFF

Vinny Curry returned to Philadelphia during the 2019 NFL offseason after a disappointing stint in Tampa Bay with the Buccaneers.

Curry turned a Super Bowl appearance with the Eagles into a big-time three-year, $27 million free-agent deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Curry was eventually cut and released by the Bucs, allowing him to return to the Eagles on a one-year deal. After having a solid 2019 season, Curry isn’t prepared to chase the big bucks in free agency, stating that he’d like to return to the Eagles next season.

Curry’s consistent play last season didn’t go un-noticed, and Pro Football Focus recently named him the Eagles most improved player last season.

Curry registered four of his five sacks on the season after Week 12 and he could provide the Eagles with a talented presence on the defensive line capable of playing end or defensive tackle.

Curry ranked tied for fifth in pressure rate (16.8%) with one of the NFL’s premier edge rushers, Steelers star T.J. Watt.

That stat was out of 99 NFL defensive ends/edge-rushers who rushed the passer 200+ times or more.

Curry is hoping to turn his solid season into a new contract in Philadelphia.
