The Eagles came into the season a little light at defensive end, but that noise has suddenly been silenced. Howie Roseman has pulled another ace out of the bag, bringing in former Lions’ pass-rusher Za’Darius Smith on a one-year deal.
What does Smith bring to the Eagles?
The immediate reaction by many to this will be just how much of a ‘Howie’ move this feels. Chris Long, Michael Bennett, the list goes on. The Eagles have been able to find a real sweet spot bringing in veteran pass-rushers in a pinch to bridge the gap until their younger players are ready.
