The Eagles have been behind the wall of scrutiny for the last several years as fans and media members alike have questioned the team’s stance on the linebacker position. They’ve gone from UDFA’s such as Alex Singleton to drafted players who they attempted to convert like Nate Gerry to even veterans that didn’t pan out like Eric Wilson and Duke Riley.
It’s been a very odd standpoint for them for quite some time. Howie Roseman constantly mentioned how the team’s defense either didn’t need to depend on a linebacker or how they “believed” in their group.
