INDIANAPOLIS - Most of the discussion about the Eagles' offseason needs includes calls for a No. 1 receiver and some semblance of starting cornerbacks. But one of the Eagles' under-the-radar needs is defensive end, where the team must bolster a pass rush that underperformed last season.
The position could undergo changes in coming weeks. Connor Barwin is a candidate to be traded or released while the team tries to create salary-cap flexibility. The most probable solution is giving more time to Vinny Curry, who had only 21/2 sacks last season and could not secure a starting job even after signing a five-year, $46.
