Many questioned the moves of Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly after the Eagles traded pro bowl running back Lesean McCoy to the Buffalo Bills but it all is starting to make sense. After clearing up nearly 35 million dollars in cap space, the Philadelphia Eagles are prepared to improve in their secondary and add a veteran to rush in between the tackles.
According to ESPN reports, former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Byron Maxwell and former San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore are set to sign with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Cornerback Byron Maxwell told ESPN’s Josina Anderson that he will sign with the Philadelphia Eagles when free agency begins Tuesday.
“I’m going to Philly,” he told ESPN.
The Eagles had to fend off the Seahawks, who made a last-ditch effort to bring Maxwell back to Seattle rather than have him go to Philadelphia, sources told ESPN.
Free-agent running back Frank Gore has told people he will sign this week with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to league sources.
Barring a breakdown in talks, Gore is expected to sign a three-year deal in which $7.5 million in the first two years is guaranteed.
The Eagles are making a splash early and Chip Kelly could have many more tricks up his sleeves has the NFL offseason continues. NFL free agency beings on Tuesday March 10th so stay tuned to HHS1987 for all your sports news.
