So your telling me this guy is a starting MLB in the NFL? And he's good too?
There really are some good football players available at the Linebacker position in the 2009 Free Agent market. However, as it stands the Eagles are pretty much set at the position in ‘09. Young starters Stewart Bradley, Chris Gocong, and Akeem Jordan all will improve over the offseason and be back hungry for redemption. Omar Gaither will be anxious to prove he can be a starter in the NFL, and special teams stud Tank Daniels signed a 2nd round RFA tender with the Eagles earlier this afternoon. To round the group out, last year’s 5th round draft pick Joe Mays looked like a promising player in last year’s pre-season, and will look to crack the active roster in ‘09.
With all of that young talent, the Eagles may look to add some veteran leadership to the bunch. That said, the Birds thought the young LB corps could fly on their own last year, and with another year of experience under their collective belts there is no reason to think they won’t be flying solo again in ‘09. Additonally, signing another LB doesn’t make a lot of sense from a roster perspective; if one gets signed, another has to get cut (Gaither?)
