Really, there weren’t that many guys on that defense that I liked a whole lot.
Hargrave was good, but he’s getting up in age and will be more expensive than he’s probably worth… although I do think he would help the Dallas D-line this season if he were in Dallas.
Bradbury played pretty decently, I thought, for CB2. He isn’t great, but he is definitely a competent player who can help a team. I wouldn’t mind him in Dallas because it would free up an early draft pick for another position. It would have to be at the right price though. He’s not a CB1 but Dallas already has a CB1, and Bradbury could be the CB2 with Excellent rookie Bland in the slot.
I do think that Gardner-Johnson is a pretty decent player… but he’s not nearly as good as he thinks he is. He is going to want too much money for what he brings to the table. Plus, he is a bit of a knucklehead and difficult for team mates and coaches to deal with. I wouldn’t mind him in Dallas at a reasonable price… but getting him at a reasonable price is just about 0% probability, IMO.
The one guy that I really liked on their defense (besides Slay) was Reddick. He is a really good player but he needs to have others taking attention. He can’t be the primary pass rusher but he could really be a good complimentary piece of a good pass rush, like he was this season.
I actually was saying that I wanted Dallas to get him when he was leaving Arizona. Then when he was leaving Carolina, I thought he would be a good value, though I didn’t really campaign for him in Dallas.
However, I don’t think that Reddick is a free agent this season, so that isn’t an option. But he is the only guy that I’d really want to get from their D.
Frankly, that defense was over rated IMO. The offense was very good though, and the defense had so much success because that offense put so much pressure on the other team to keep up. Offenses playing the Eagles took chances they normally wouldn’t because the Philly offense was scoring so much.
The offense was not over rated, IMO. It was very good and the main reason for the good season that they had.
However, on that side of the ball there aren’t a lot of free agents that I’d want in Dallas. Really just Hargrave and Bradbury.
OG Issac Seumalo is one, and he is a good player I think, and I wouldn’t mind him replacing McGovern at the right price. However, I think that he was somewhat a product of playing between Lane Johnson and Kelsey though. That is two probable hall of fame players, one on each side, giving Seumalo every possible advantage. I think his price will be higher than his worth.
Overall, there aren’t many Eagle free agents that I’d want here.
