eglz1 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Posted by Josh Alper on March 14, 2022, 7:47 PM EDT Linebacker Alex Singleton wasn’t set to become an unrestricted free agent this week, but it looks like that’s where things are heading. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Eagles will not issue a restricted free agent tender to Singleton. If he doesn’t re-sign before Wednesday afternoon, he’ll hit the open market. Singleton was undrafted out of Montana State in the NFL, but he was a first-round pick in the CFL and spent three seasons with Calgary before joining the Eagles in 2019. He played exclusively on special teams in 10 games that year before taking on a defensive role in the last two seasons. Singleton recorded 257 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions that were both returned for touchdowns, a forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries in 32 appearances over the last two years. Of course this was posted in the rumor mill so take it however you wish. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwieagle Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Excluding Reddick who’s a bit of a hybrid, the sense I have is he is seen as #3 on the pecking order at LB behind Edwards and Taylor. And they will add this off-season so I can see them being cost conscious on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EazyEaglez Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Well is it that much of a loss if another team actually signed him. 10 tackles in a game is fine, but not when you’re being dragged five yards down the field for half of them and none of them are tackles for losses. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesteakitis Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 knew they wouldn’t just like a few others not worth what it cost to tender them if they can bring them back cheaper might happen and if not oh well good luck in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road to Victory Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 His coverage skills are atrocious. Like his attitude but we can do better. Ideally, he’s a backup/ST player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 This is logical. Why would they bring him back at the tender salary? He's a back up player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdsFanBill Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Fun guy to root for but was clearly overmatched most of this year. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsdarkstar Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I like Alex. He has a non stop motor. Is always around the ball if not making the tackle himself. He can only get better, but we shouldn't pay him big money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2rock Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 99% of the folks here continually criticized the LB group here for being really bad (rightfully so). So even if they don't bring him back cheaper than the lowest tender amount, no one should lose any sleep over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochis_Calhoun Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I've been sick of watching Singleton tackle players over the line to gain for pretty much his entire career to date, he's at best the third linebacker on our roster which means even if NFL.com did a 100 best players of the year composed entirely of linebackers, Singleton probably doesn't make it in.

Who gets run over, takes crap angles and tackles guys 8 yards downfield. He’s a special teamer, plain and simple. He’s such a baller that they let his ass walk. Moron.

NOTW Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 The bar is so low at LB that someone actually hustling and making tackles -- after the receiver has already got the 1st down -- is celebrated. They prioritize D line and corner which is fine, but they don't invest high picks or more adequate free agents at LB. And it shows. Then they go from hot garbage to a couple guys who seem ok, and they think they're fine there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
