The Philadelphia Eagles made an effort to sign top free agent safety Marcus Williams before he joined the Baltimore Ravens, according to a report from Geoff Mosher.
The Eagles were said to be “competitive in discussions” and “were close” to the five-year, $70 million contract terms he ultimately agreed to.
The ‘[team] almost acquired a really good player!’ reports aren’t really fun for anyone except Danny Ainge. And this is already the second one we’ve seen considering Philly was also reportedly seriously targeting Christian Kirk.
