Coming off of yet another tragically disappointing season, the Eagles’ secondary was finally reinvented this offseason. Howie Roseman had witnessed enough and had decided to go all-in on a lockdown corner – something the team had been missing the entire Doug Pederson era. That man is 3x pro bowler Darius Slay and for the next few years, he’ll be the one tasked with keeping opposing WR1’s silenced each game. More importantly, he’ll be expected to do that against divisional opponents.
The Eagles have been battered and bruised by NFC East receivers over the last few year. From Odell Beckham’s stint with the Giants, to the breakout of Terry McLaurin, there has been no sign of the bleeding stopping when it comes to the secondary.
