A.J. Bouye, CB
Bouye makes sense for the Eagles. Philadelphia needs to revamp its group of cornerbacks and Bouye is quickly becoming one of the NFL’s top up-and-comers at the position.
Bouye came out of nowhere in 2016, recording 63 tackles, a sack, 16 pass deflections and an interception. He also recorded another interception in the postseason. Pro Football Focus ranked Bouye as one of the league’s top cornerbacks this season, allowing a 61.0 quarterback rating when thrown to.

Bouye is just 25 years old and has yet to reach his full potential. At such a young age, Bouye is going to command a lot of money in free agency. While the Eagles may not be in the best financial situation, Bouye may just be the guy to help turn the team’s secondary around.
