The biggest offseason needs for all 32 NFL teams and how teams can fill them - The Athletic
Philadelphia Eagles. Position of greatest need: Secondary. Sixty percent of the Eagles’ starting secondary is scheduled for free agency, including starting safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Marcus Epps plus cornerback James Bradberry. Both starting linebackers, both defensive tackles, at least one starting offensive lineman and a starting running back are also primed to depart, but the team has better in-house replacements at each of those spots. Undrafted rookie Reed Blankenship’s surprise season makes the safety picture a little less dire, but if Gardner-Johnson has priced himself out of the Eagles’ reach, they’ll have serious work to do for whoever is hired to replace Jonathan Gannon as defensive coordinator.
