NFC East 2023 free agency grades: Dallas Cowboys edition

by Jimmy Kempski

Heading into the 2022 playoffs, it felt lot like the NFC representative in the Super Bowl would be either the Philadelphia Eagles, the San Francisco 49ers, or the Dallas Cowboys, with the other four teams having little to no chance of advancing. The Cowboys were eliminated by the 49ers in a close game for the second consecutive season, but they no doubt believe that they remain close to contention heading into 2023. Here we'll review what they did in free agency.

Eagles agree to terms with LB Nicholas Morrow

by Jimmy Kempski

The Raiders had success converting Morrow from a safety into a linebacker after signing him as an undrafted free agent in 2017, and he has since had a successful NFL career. The Eagles have a history of attempting to convert safeties into linebackers, like Kamu Grugier-Hill, Nate Gerry, and (sort of) Davion Taylor. That track record isn't exactly awesome, obviously. They did find a competent safety-turned-linebacker in Kyzir White last offseason in free agency, and are seemingly replicating that approach in 2023.

Ranking the Eagles' positional needs, prior to the 2023 NFL Draft

by Jimmy Kempski

When Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles have tried to fill needs in the NFL draft, the results have often been disappointing. To avoid drafting for need, the team typically does a good job of at least finding reasonably competent starters at each positional group so that they have the flexibility to select the best players available instead of reaching for needs. Here we'll take a look at the positions the Eagles could look to fill before the draft so they won't be tempted to draft for short-term needs.
