University of Texas running back Bijan Robinson is taking a pre-draft visit to the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday, according to a source. Robinson to the Eagles in this year's draft makes plenty of sense, although general manager Howie Roseman has never taken a running back in the first round of a draft. The 21-year-old is easily the No. 1 RB prospect in this year's class, and he's fully expected to come off the board in the first round. If the Eagles like him that much, Roseman will have to take his first RB in the first round. Philly let Miles Sanders walk in free agency, but they re-signed Boston Scott and also added Rashaad Penny. However, given Penny's extensive injury history, it would make sense for the Eagles to add some more insurance at the position.
Free-agent linebacker Nicholas Morrow agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday, according to a source. In his lone season with the Chicago Bears in 2022, Morrow had a career-best 116 tackles (83 solo), 11 tackles for loss and an interception in 17 starts. The 27-year-old is a nice addition to the middle of the Eagles defense after they already lost some key defenders in free agency last week. While Morrow won't be a popular player in IDP fantasy drafts, he should at least be worth looking at as a streaming option again in 2023. In his five NFL seasons with the Bears and Las Vegas Raiders, Morrow has 370 tackles (268 solo), four sacks, 31 tackles for loss, 15 QB hits, three interceptions, 22 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 79 games (46 starts).
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed free-agent quarterback Marcus Mariota. The two sides agree to a one-year, $5 million contract for the upcoming season. It's worth noting that Mariota can earn up to $8 million with incentives. The former first rounder will replace Gardner Minshew as the backup to Jalen Hurts. Last season, Mariota threw for 2,219 yards with 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 13 games with the Atlanta Falcons. This move gives the Eagles one of the better backups in the league and added insurance in case Hurts does suffer an injury at some point. Mariota is not expected to have fantasy value unless Hurts goes down.
According to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, free-agent cornerback Greedy Williams has agreed to join the Eagles. The 2019 second-round pick totaled 99 tackles and two interceptions during the last four seasons in Cleveland. However, he's battled countless injuries over the years, including missing the entire 2020-21 campaign because of a shoulder injury. With that said, Philadelphia is retaining Darius Slay and James Bradberry, so Williams will have a tough time finding consistent work, even if he stays healthy.
Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay will remain with the team for a few more seasons, agreeing to a two-year, $42 million extension ($23 million guaranteed). There were talks the veteran would be on the way out of Philly. However, he is now committed to the franchise for the next three seasons. Slay finished the 2022-23 campaign with 55 total tackles and three interceptions, contributing to a potent Eagles defense. With James Bradberry also staying put, the Eagles defense should remain a top fantasy option in 2023-24.
