The Philadelphia Eagles need a new edge defender after losing Jaelan Phillips, who they reportedly had interest in re-signing before he left to join the Carolina Panthers.<\/p>\n
There are a couple more updates to the Eagles\u2019 search for a pass rusher on Wednesday afternoon:<\/p>\n
1) Bradley Chubb is no longer an option.<\/p>\n
2) The Eagles are in contact with Jonathan Greenard\u2019s agent.<\/p>\n
Greenard reportedly desires a new deal two years after signing a four-year, $76 million contract with the Vikings. His current $19 million annual value ranks him 22nd among the highest-paid edge defenders. Moreover, Greenard currently has no more guaranteed salary remaining. One would think the 28-year-old is looking for more security in that regard.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear what the Vikings are asking for to acquire Greenard. The guess here is the Eagles might be able to get it done with the third-round pick they acquired from the New York Jets in the Haason Reddick trade two years ago. It\u2019s a high third-round selection and I can just envision Howie Roseman pointing out to NFL insiders how he ultimately turned Reddick into Greenard. But that\u2019s just a guess on the value. Maybe it\u2019s more, maybe it\u2019s less.<\/p>\n
Seems like we should get some resolution here sooner than later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Eagles need a new edge defender after losing Jaelan Phillips, who they reportedly had interest in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":808009,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,6,5406],"class_list":{"0":"post-808008","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116215805059710929","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=808008"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808008\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/808009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=808008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=808008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=808008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
