I think he is here to compete for a spot and nothing is guaranteed. Heck Elliss may even take his spot (kinda hoping he does).

His replacement is Dean. Morrow is the replacement for White … if Elliss doesn’t beat him out for that starting position. As the Kung Fu Master often said …

You see it with players all the time especially with DB's... Not only is Chicago a different system/situation. They also had Morrow playing out of position. He isn’t a MLB. His skills and size are much better suited to WIL. I too hope that Elliss wins the starting WIL job. Dean and Elliss starting VanSumeren and Morrow backing up It would be nice if Davion Taylor finally got it together Bradley is gone The two Johnsons are part of the depth mix as well.

Dean will play MLB and wear the green dot. Morrow is being asked to replace White at WLB.
July 8, 20232 yr when I say "replacement ' I meant in the starting lineup.....it was always going to be Dean and somebody and I really wish it was TJ...but he was "replaced" with Morrow....I really wished Howie would have taken that $14 mill and kept TJ and CGJ...if CGJ takes the $8 he was offered and give TJ the other $6 and lets roll...I would feel much better about the D

You have to be kidding! That would be a mismatch of his skills and athleticism with the requirements of the WIL position. That would be like asking Trotter to play WIL instead of Willie T. Really, really, really bad idea. White was "replaced” by Morrow.

I'm hoping the injuries around the combine hampered him a lot, but he's a MLB or bust at this point I think. He needs that beef in front of him.

Which one ? Well we got 2 more now! Cunningham and Myles Jack. Definitely needed some veteran depth there.

Which one ? We got Cunningham and Jack, but with Shaun Bradley now out with a torn Achilles and the limited depth we have as is, I wouldn't be opposed to getting another one of these vets.

I think they're all gone and it's a bit too late. If we do, we'll have to wait for the final cuts.

Looks like most of the players in that list have signed with a team have signed but looks like Kyle Van Noy and Anthony Barr are still free agents after visiting teams and walking away without a deal. The Falcons also just cut one of their starting LBs from last season, Mykal Walker, and he's only 25, if they wanted to take a chance on a younger player?

Walker makes sense to me - with Bradley's injury we'll need a guy who will/can play special teams.

Looks like the Bears just picked him off waivers 😅 I guess we'll be waiting closer to final cuts before we see any other LB signing of note from the Eagles.
