By now
Cameron Johnston Jerseys 2019 , it’s been reported approximately a billion times that Nick Foles is going to sign a contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars
when NFL free agency starts. Now that the legal tampering window is open, we
have an update on Foles’ status. Mike Silver had the following to say on NFL
Network:Foles getting $22 million per year would put him just outside the top 10
NFL quarterback contracts in terms of annual value. That’s a whole lotta
dough.Assuming this report is true and the contract materializes, it’s very good
news for the Philadelphia Eagles. The more lucrative the contract Foles
receives
Black DeAndre Carter Jerseys , the better chance the Eagles have of netting a third-round compensatory pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. That’s the highest
compensation Philly can receive for their Super Bowl MVP since Foles is a free
agent. It goes without saying that Foles performed admirably for the Eagles over
the past two seasons. He deserves a big pay day and a starting role. It
continues to look like the Jags will be the team that gives it to him. Corey
Graham is ready to fill a starting role.The Philadelphia Eagles won't have
safety Rodney McLeod for Sunday's game against Tennessee and a report says he's
going to miss the rest of the season following knee surgery on Thursday. Coach
Doug Pederson is expected to update McLeod's status on Friday.Graham has played
55 percent of the defensive snaps, so the 33-year-old is already a key part of
the defense. He has started 66 games in his 12-year career."I'm prepared and I'm
ready to go," Graham said after practice. "It really doesn't change much. I'll
probably just play double the amount of plays now. But the way we do
things
DeAndre Carter Jerseys 2019 , I'll be in the same role."McLeod missed only two games in his previous five seasons. Graham called him the "fix-it guy" in the
secondary."If something went wrong, he was back there to fix it," Graham said.
"It's a tough loss. He's one of our core guys. It's hard to replace a guy like
Rodney."The Eagles rely on three safeties quite a bit in their defense. That's
why Graham has played more than half the snaps. It allows defensive coordinator
Jim Schwartz to use Malcolm Jenkins in a variety of ways
Black Malik Jackson Jerseys , include nickel cornerback and linebacker, along with his usual safety spot.Deiondre' Hall is the only other safety on the active
roster and Tre Sullivan is on the practice squad. Backup cornerback Rasul
Douglas has safety skills."We cross-train a lot of guys," Jenkins said. "We're
versatile. We have guys who can come in and play a role. I don't know if we'll
hand over Rodney's entire package to one guy. It might be sliced up."NOTES: RB
Jay Ajayi returned to practice after missing one game with a back injury and
revealed he had suffered a small fracture. "It's a pain tolerance

Malik Jackson Jerseys 2019 ," Ajayi said. ... WR Alshon Jeffery (illness) and RB Darren Sproles (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.
