Linebacker

The Eagles have a couple of top-tier linebackers in Jordan Hicks and the underrated Nigel Bradham, but depth is a major area of concern. Mychal Kendricks only played 26.8 percent of the Eagles’ defensive snaps in 2016 and continues to look like the weak link in Philadelphia’s linebacker corps. Backups Stephen Tulloch and Najee Goode are both set to hit the free agent market in March and Kamu Grugier-Hill is nothing more than a special teams contributor. The Eagles will definitely look to add a linebacker or two during the offseason.
