The Philadelphia Eagles, like many other contenders, could use a boost.
A competitor can never have too many skilled passers. Philadelphia has had some question marks on the defensive end, although things have started to improve over the past couple of weeks. However, the Eagles should still look for ways to add more depth.
As the trade deadline approaches and is expected to pass on November 5, there have already been rumors about who the Eagles could target. Superstars like Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby are two names discussed among others.
It would be amazing if the Eagles could land someone like Garrett and Crosby, but a trade of this nature should be considered unlikely at this point in the season. If the Eagles want to increase their advantage, there are other ways to do it without a big trade.
There is still some competent players available in free agency this could be achieved at a fraction of the cost while still providing more depth. One player who could make sense is former Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers defensive end Randy Gregory.
He is now 31 years old and available on the open market. He had 2.5 sacks last season with the 49ers, along with 11 total tackles in 12 games. These numbers may not jump out at you, but he could be a deep option. Gregory enjoyed his greatest success as a member of the Cowboys and had six sacks in 2018 and 2021.
Gregory wouldn’t cost much at the moment. It certainly makes sense to at least give it a try.
