Eagles Might Need Two New Cornerbacks

Eagles Might Need Two New Cornerbacks

9 months ago

The Philadelphia Eagles defense allowed the fifth-most explosive plays last year due to the instability of their secondary. Cornerback James Bradberry was burned frequently in critical man-to-man situations. Even if the 30-year-old is able to rebound in 2024, the Eagles need to consider the age of No. 1 corner Darius Slay (32 years old), who missed five games in 2023 with a knee injury. The Athletic's Brooks Kubena writes that general manager Howie Roseman needs to find a reliable and durable heir at cornerback, possibly on both sides of the field, through either free agency or the NFL draft this offseason. If the Eagles want to have another shot at returning to the Super Bowl, their defense under new coordinator Vic Fangio is going to need to improve over last season.
