The Eagles are frantically placing collectively the ultimate items for his or her 53-man roster. After a formidable offseason, it appears that evidently Howie Roseman could wish to choose up that thought once more earlier than Tuesday afternoon.

Whereas the group may make strikes utilizing OT Andre Dillard as commerce bait, which I imagine can be a nasty thought, they might perhaps even ship out Jalen Reagor with a choose to bolster their roster. Let’s first deal with who the group ought to goal to place the icing on the cake of what was a profitable offseason.

S Eddie Jackson

Let’s be sincere for a second. The Bears are going nowhere quick they usually may benefit from extra draft capital to assist construct round Fields and firm. Whereas Roquan Smith is a really engaging asset, the Eagles don’t want a LB. However, they do want a security. Eddie Jackson can be an ideal veteran presence for that group and will come low cost, particularly if Reagor was included.

The Bears want extra wideouts to assist Mooney and Fields whereas the Eagles want a security that they’ll really depend on. Jackson for Reagor and a Fifth-round choose sounds truthful to me.

S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson

CGJ is a really intriguing possibility. He offers you the Malcolm Jenkins function that’s mandatory for Gannon’s scheme. Gardner-Johnson has been reserving himself with out holding out as a result of being in a contract yr. At age 24, it’s odd that the Saints haven’t prolonged him but, however that is the place Philly may are available.

The Saints want offensive line assist and whereas I’m towards buying and selling away Dillard, a participant like CGJ goes to have a a lot greater impression at this level. You commerce for him and prolong him and now swiftly your Security group is properly established. 

Dillard and a sixth or seventh ought to do the trick however the Saints must also ship a choose again.

RB D’Ernest Johnson

This makes an excessive amount of sense for Philly. Johnson doesn’t have a lot tread on him and everybody has seen what he can do behind the Browns’ offensive line. Johnson rushed for 534 yards final season whereas averaging 5.9 yards per carry. 

He’s on an affordable contract and might be a free agent after this season, so if he doesn’t work out then no hurt no foul. I believe Philly trades Reagor for Johnson and a mid-round draft choose. 

RB Jamaal Williams

I nonetheless imagine that that is the transfer to make. Williams is a big-bodied again that may are available and help this offense. The one subject is that he’s additionally rooted himself deeply inside the Lions. It will be robust to get him out of Detroit. He ran for 601 yards final season however solely averaged 3.9 yards per carry. Behind this offensive line, these numbers can be vastly inflated. I believe it will take a third or 4th spherical choose however something larger or added to this deal is an excessive amount of.

DE Robert Quinn

Let’s head again to the Midwest and verify in on Robert Quinn. The Eagles are a bit mild on depth on the edge and Quinn could possibly be addition to this defensive position. Quinn is 32-years-old and doesn’t wish to be part of the rebuilding that’s occurring in Chicago. The one subject is that he has three years left in his 5-year, $70 million deal. That could possibly be a turn-off for the Eagles. If it’s doable although, I’d assume a 4th or Fifth may do it however the wage could possibly be a problem nonetheless.
