E.J. Biggers once tried to decapitate a Cowboys player, which is good. Unfortunately, Biggers isn't a very good player, which is bad.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, former Buccaneers and Redskins defensive back E.J. Biggers is headed to Philadelphia today to visit with the Eagles.

Biggers played safety for the Redskins in 2013, and moved to slot corner in 2014. In that sense, he fits the Eagles' mold of safeties they prefer that can drop down into the box and cover slot receivers.
However, going by Redskin fan reactions on Twitter, they would be more than happy to see Biggers sign with the Eagles:
@JimmyKempski Perfect Bradley Fletcher replacement
— Hunter Jennings (@HunterLoganX) April 7, 2015
@JimmyKempski and the 2nd and 3rd...and pretty much every game he played in Washington.
— Chris (@ChrisToTheHess) April 7, 2015
@JimmyKempski And about 12 other games

@JimmyKempski They look for safeties that get burned in Philly? I can recommend you some others in that case...

@JimmyKempski a Darrell Green/Champ Bailey/Lester Hayes clone. So good.

@JimmyKempski max contract worthy

@JimmyKempski He'll do a great job of building Bradford's confidence in practice

@JimmyKempski If Biggers fits your profile at safety, the profile is broken.

As noted a couple weeks ago here, the Eagles are kinda screwed at safety, and it's never a good sign when Redskins fans are making fun of your team for potentially signing a defensive back.
