The Philadelphia Eagles want a new edge defender after dropping Jaelan Phillips, who they reportedly had curiosity in re-signing earlier than he left to hitch the Carolina Panthers.
The group reportedly made an offer to Trey Hendrickson earlier than he joined the Baltimore Ravens earlier on Wednesday. They’re additionally rumored to be in the mix for Maxx Crosby however that’s no certain factor.

There are a couple extra updates to the Eagles’ search for a pass rusher on Wednesday afternoon:
1) Bradley Chubb is not an choice.
Chubb seemed to make a lot of sense for the Eagles since he beforehand performed for Vic Fangio in each Denver and Miami. Signing him additionally wouldn’t have impacted Philly’s compensatory choose system since he was launched by the Dolphins.
Chubb is off the board, nevertheless, after reportedly signing a three-year, $43.5 million contract with the Buffalo Bills. So, there goes that.
2) The Eagles are involved with Jonathan Greenard’s agent.
ESPN was first to mention the Eagles’ potential curiosity in Greenard over the weekend. The Athletic additionally reported on the Eagles’ curiosity in him earlier on Wednesday.

Now Dianna Russini is including that the Eagles are in contact with Greenard’s representation about a potential contract extension ought to Philly and Minnesota make a deal. The Vikings must allow the Eagles to make contact with Greenard’s agent in such a state of affairs, so, it looks like a deal may get finished there … assuming the monetary implications might be labored out.
Greenard reportedly needs a new deal two years after signing a four-year, $76 million contract with the Vikings. His present $19 million annual worth ranks him twenty second amongst the highest-paid edge defenders. Moreover, Greenard at the moment has no extra assured wage remaining. One would assume the 28-year-old is wanting for extra safety in that regard.
It’s unclear what the Vikings are asking for to accumulate Greenard. The guess right here is the Eagles may be capable to get it finished with the third-round choose they acquired from the New York Jets in the Haason Reddick commerce two years in the past. It’s a excessive third-round choice and I can simply envision Howie Roseman mentioning to NFL insiders how he finally turned Reddick into Greenard. But that’s simply a guess on the worth. Maybe it’s extra, perhaps it’s much less.
Seems like we should always get some decision right here earlier than later.
