The Eagles started the offseason with an aging roster and more than a handful of needs. Among the team’s most pressing needs was safety. Rodney McLeod was set to hit free agency and a big question mark loomed over Malcolm Jenkins. The Eagles filled their safety spots by resigning Rodney McLeod and moving Jalen Mills to the other safety spot once he re-signed. Following those moves, the team signed North Philadelphia native, Will Parks.
The common theme running through all three of those deals is that they are all one-year contracts. If it doesn’t pan out for all three veterans here in Philly, then the Eagles can move on, which leads to what Howie Roseman did during and after this year’s draft.
