Cornerback Dwayne Gratz signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles on December 12th of 2016. Little has been heard from him or about him since that happened, and even less has been discussed about the former third round draft choice being a part of what the Eagles are planning for the foreseeable future. With everything that’s gone on at the cornerback position within the Eagles organization, it’s easy to see how that might have happened.
There was the disappointment that was Leodis McKelvin. He’d be released at the beginning of this off-season following a brief one-year stint with the team, and prior to that, Philadelphia allowed their other starting cornerback, Nolan Carroll, to walk and eventually sign with the Dallas Cowboys.
