Free agency turned around quite quickly for the Eagles. They went from potentially losing James Bradberry, Darius Slay, and CJ Gardner Johnson, to keeping Bradberry and Slay, and still being in on CJ. Quite a change from expectations before the off-season started. And there could still be more on the way. So how did Howie Roseman pull it off? To discuss that, James Palmer from The NFL Network joined The Best Show Ever.

Here is what James Palmer had to say about if Eagles could still bring CJ Gardner Johnson back…

"I think the effort is still there. I don’t think the door has been closed. There are teams that have safety needs that haven’t been filled… If (Howie) finds a way to bring CJ too, it is pretty remarkable. But at the same time, you have to start turning that roster over. And they have a lot of picks. It’s great they brought back these pro bowlers. But they are all 30 or older. You have to make sure you start restocking.

James Palmer also discussed how they pulled off bringing Darius Slay back, the non existent market for running backs, and more.

Tracking All The Eagles Free Agency News

The Eagles have a lot of free agents this off-season. Many of which are on their defense. A defense that was near the top of the league in every stat last season, could be looking very different in the next one. James Bradberry, Fletcher Cox, CJ Gardner Johnson, Brandon Graham, Kyzir White, TJ Edwards, Ndamukong Suh, Linval Joseph, Miles Sanders, and Isaac Seumalo, among other names. Then there is the news that Darius Slay was given permission to seek a trade. Not to mention we are awaiting to see whether Jason Kelce will retire or not. Meaning it could be a very busy free agency period for the Eagles. Even if the business is us watching all of the Eagles players go elsewhere.

The rumors have not been good for the Eagles. Multiple NFL insiders have suggested that nearly all of them could be heading elsewhere. So where will these Free agents land? Will any of them return to Philly? Or will the Eagles roster be left with more holes than a Shia Lebeauf movie? Legal Tampering has begun. Meaning we are starting to learn the news for the big names connected to the Eagles. Follow along here to see all the Eagles’ free agency news.

It was assumed from the start that Mile Sanders would not be returning. That became more clear when the Eagles added Rashaad Penny and brought back Boston Scott. Now it become official. Miles Sanders is heading out to Carolina to join another former Eagle, Frank Reich.

Kyzir White Reunites With Jonathan Gannon In Arizona

And now we know both starting linebackers are gone. Kyzir White is heading to Arizona to reunite with Gannon. Nakobe Dean will fill one of the linebacker spots. The question now becomes who fills the second one.

Marcus Epps Heading To Las Vegas

And the hits keep coming. Marcus Epps is heading to Las Vegas to play for the Raiders. Making the Eagles’ need to hold onto CJ Gardner Johnson even greater. Because if not, they will be down both Safeties, with undrafted Rookie Reed Blankenship as the best Safety on the roster. Not ideal. This now makes 3 defensive starters they have lost, and they still could lose CJ, James Bradberry, Fletcher Cox, and Kyzir White.

Andre Dillard To The Titans

No one thought Dillard would be returning. but now we get confirmation. The former 1st round pick heads to the Titans, and will finally get a chance to start. And the Eagles’ depth at Tackle takes a hit.

We know the Eagles do not value Linebackers. TJ Edwards played very well last year. But with a QB to pay and several other important holes to fill, TJ Edwards was a cap casualty. He heads to the Bears with a 3-year deal.
