Philadelphia Eagles fans received some interesting and, by some accounts, unwanted news recently that the team is planning on aggressively pursuing a cornerback when the free agency period opens on March 18th. The Eagles desperately need reinforcements in the secondary this offseason, and despite the fact that this is seen as a deep crop of free agents at the cornerback position, fans can’t help but feel uneasy about going this route to find one.
You needn’t look any further than the last decade to understand the PTSD-like reaction in the Eagles’ fan base and media that simply comes from seeing this team make so many bad decisions about the cornerback position in free agency.
