Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly was asked about trading cornerback Brandon Boykin and how it affects the team's depth at the position.

Kelly said that the team has a lot of confidence in their defensive backs and that the depth at the spot is as deep as it could get.

"We have a lot of depth at that [cornerback] position," Kelly said, via Philly.com.

"[The trade] speaks more to our confidence in Maxwell and [Nolan] Carroll and [Eric] Rowe and [JaCorey] Shepherd and [E.J.] Biggers and [Jaylen] Watkins and [Denzel] Rice.

"We're going to have to make some tough decisions at corner, and we're not going to be able to keep them all.
