This offseason, the Philadelphia Eagles have already parted ways with an aging cornerback on their roster.
Darius Slay, after a five-year tenure that included winning a Super Bowl, has moved to the Pittsburgh Steelers as a free agent following his release from Philly due to salary cap considerations. The Eagles might still consider acquiring a seasoned cornerback to bolster their youthful secondary, even after signing former first-round pick Adoree Jackson.
With Chauncey Gardner-Johnson’s trade topping their list of offseason transactions, Philadelphia could benefit from additional support in the secondary. A player like former All-Pro Stephon Gilmore could be an ideal acquisition.
Gilmore, a two-time First-Team All-Pro and former Defensive Player of the Year, is best known for his outstanding performances as a shutdown cornerback with the New England Patriots.
He is currently seeking a new team after recent stints with the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings. However, he will be 35 years old at the start of the 2025 season and is not quite the player he was a few years back. So, what should the Eagles consider doing?
