Eagles Strengthen Secondary with Smart Offseason Moves

NFL stories making news on March 21st, the Philadelphia Eagles have made smart moves to fix their

secondary this off season. Their biggest need was at the number two outside cornerback spot,

so they signed former pro-Bola Ric Wullen right away. They also kept slot corner Michael Carter

the second and added veteran Jonathan Jones, a two-time Super Bowl winner. Safety turned into

another priority after Reed Blankenship left in free agency. The team quickly signed Marcus Epps,

who played well here from 2019 to 2022 and JT. Gray, both on one-year deals, fans and analysts

love these picks for adding experience and depth. Epps knows the defense inside out,

while Gray shines on special teams with three all-pronods, even if he is not a heavy defensive

snap guy. On top of that, the Eagles traded safety Sydney Brown to the Atlanta Falcons. They

sent along fourth and sixth round picks, but moved up in both rounds, turning a depth player

into better draft ammo. Overall, these steps shore up the back end and give Howie Roseman

solid flexibility heading into training camp.
