Eagles Make Their $255 Million Man Jalen Hurts’ Job Easier With Two Shots in Arm

It was inevitable that the Philadelphia Eagles would make a bold move in the linebacker position. With the addition of two experienced free agents to the lineup, Jalen Hurts, now a $255 million player, not only claims the title of the highest-paid NFL player but also solidifies his status as one of the most formidable QBs this season.

Furthermore, the Eagles’ overhang linebacker, Patrick Johnson, suffered a concerning lower-body injury and was carted off the practice field at the NovaCare Complex on Friday. However, with the strategic roster adjustments on Sunday, the team is poised to address a few gaps in their lineup effectively.

The Eagles squad is doubling down on their LBs!

The Philadelphia Eagles have kept the momentum going, making strategic roster moves at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday. Notably, NFL reporter Ian Rapoport shared the news via Twitter, stating, “The #Eagles have agreed to terms with former #Steelers LB Myles Jack and former #Titans LB Zach Cunningham, giving both one-year deals.” Both players showcased their skills during workouts with the Eagles, and it seems that their performances impressed enough to secure offers from the team.

Adding to the mix, the Eagles welcomed offensive lineman Josh Andrews, who began his career as an undrafted free agent in 2014 from Oregon State. His return to Philadelphia marks the continuation of his journey. To accommodate these additions, the Eagles made room by releasing linebacker Davion Taylor and waiving-injured receiver Charleston Rambo.

Myles Jack, who will celebrate his 28th birthday in September, showcased his skills in 15 games last year for Pittsburgh, claiming 13 starts. Throughout those games, he amassed an impressive 104 tackles, three tackles for loss, and effectively defended three passes, all within 692 defensive snaps. Since being selected by the Jaguars in the second round of the 2016 draft, Jack has established a formidable presence on the field, participating in 103 games and boasting 95 starts.

Meanwhile, at 28 years old, Zach Cunningham made a mark last year despite starting only six games for the Titans due to an injury-related stint on the reserve list. Launching his NFL journey as a 2017 second-round pick by the Texans, he gained extensive experience across 72 games before his mid-2021 departure from the franchise. In his career of 82 games, Cunningham’s contributions include 6.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, 19 passes defended, and an interception, showcasing his undeniable impact.

With their remarkable records, only time will reveal if this Eagles’ roster move leads to a Super Bowl win this time and vital support for QB Jalen Hurts.
