Do The Philadelphia Eagles Have The Best Safeties In The NFC East?

Since signing Malcolm Jenkins, the Philadelphia Eagles have not had a dominate player to pair along side with him. However, that all changed this off-season when the team broke the bank to sign safety Rodney McLeod.

The Eagles signed McLeod to a five-year, $37 million deal this past March, making him one of the highest paid safeties in the league. The move to sign McLeod gives the Eagles an outstanding tandem in the defensive backfield, which is something fans have not seen in quite some time.

Last season, Jenkins and McLeod combined for 191 tackles, 6 forced fumbles, and 3 interceptions.
