The Philadelphia Eagles officially have a log jam at the inside linebacker position, boasting some of the best depth in the NFL, but who deserves to start? The team suffered major injuries at the position last season and were left to play with below average backups. The team really put an emphasis on obtaining quality depth and to upgrade the position as a whole this offseason. Now that the dust has settled the team now has some serious competition for the two starting spots this summer.
The log jam began when head coach Chip Kelly made the controversial move to trade the franchise’s all time leading rusher in LeSean McCoy to the Buffalo Bills for linebacker Kiko Alonso.
