Philadelphia Eagles: Looking back at what happened to Jordan Matthews

From 2014-16, Jordan Matthews was a consistent and productive piece for the Philadelphia Eagles‘ offense, but unfortunately the front office decided to address the pressing need for a cornerback prior to the 2017 season.

As fans remember, Matthews was traded along with a third-round pick to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for cornerback Ronald Darby that year to help the defense improve at the cornerback position.

Darby was an upgrade from the current options at corner and played better earlier in his career than he does now. However, it was still tough to see such a consistent performer and great locker room presence like Matthews have to pack his bags.
