It happened. The Philadelphia Eagles get their answer opposite of Darius Slay. After what felt like an eternity, the Steven Nelson acquisition that we anticipated is complete. It is reportedly a one-year deal worth over four million. Philadelphia needed another true outside corner to pair with Big Play, and this move also allows Avonte Maddox to move into the slot where he is much more equipped to play at his size.

For a team that has struggled with injuries over the past few seasons, Nelson will not be much of a concern in that regard.
