According to ‘QB Factory mastermind’ Jimmy Kempski of the Philly Voice, the Eagles are intending to pick up Derek Barnett’s fifth-year option.

This was an expected move after the team failed to really invest heavily at the DE position through the offseason. A seventh-round pick on Casey Toohill is all well and good, but what was once an elite spot of both depth and talent has now become a pool of questions to swim in. It at least implies a level of trust and confidence in their former first-round pick.
