One of the biggest questions the Eagles faced at the beginning of the offseason was a simple one that carried a lot of weight. ‘What happens to Rodney McLeod?’ After suffering a season-ending knee injury in 2018, the Safety was set to make a whopping $9.9M in 2019. For a team already battling a tidal wave of salary cap problems, this had to change.
The Eagles restructured his deal, leaving the 29-year old with a fraction of what he was originally set to make. But would he be able to rekindle the scintillating form he flashed in 2018, or would the team need to find help elsewhere?
