After having unexpectedly sent CJ Gardner-Johnson to Houston TexansTHE Eagles Now have an immediate safety need in front of Reed Blankenship.
Justin Simmons, who remains unsigned, has obvious links with the defensive coordinator of Eagles, Vic Fangio, but his price requested is probably more than Philadelphia is willing to spend.
