Now that the Super Bowl is over, cap casualty season has begun. That means “Should the Eagles sign [literally any player I’ve remotely heard of before]?!” has also kicked into gear.
Of note, the Chicago Bears decided to shed some salary on Thursday by officially releasing veteran safety Eddie Jackson and offensive lineman Cody Whitehair.
Jackson, who turned 30 in December, actually seems like a realistic possibility for the Birds. The 2017 fourth-round pick was drafted when new Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio was still the Bears’ DC. They spent two seasons in Chicago together before Fangio became the Denver Broncos’ head coach.
