Eagles should think about extending Jalen Mills before the season ends

It’s been a topsy-turvy season for the Eagles defense, especially the secondary. Even before the opening kickoff of the 2019 season took place, things were unstable. Both starting cornerbacks, Ronald Darby and Jalen Mills, missed the majority of offseason activities with the exception of mental reps and film study due to overhanging injuries from last year. Rasul Douglas and Sidney Jones would initially be the team’s starting tandem and after some impressive highs and deeply concerning lows, Darby and Mills were ready to return to action just before the mid-point of the season. Since then, the secondary has been playing at an exceptional level.
