1. Vinny Curry, defensive end

After the 2015 season, Vinny Curry signed a pretty big contract with the Eagles. Were talking five years for 47 million dollars big, so naturally, you would expect a player who is making that kind of money to do it big the following season, right?

Unfortunately, Curry didn’t do anything of the sort. In 2016, he had 28 total tackles and a grand total of only 2.5 sacks. Now, with Connor Barwin gone, Curry has to find a way to bounce back in the 2017 season. The Eagles have signed veteran defensive end Chris Long to a two-year deal, and there has even been some rumors of the Eagles looking to draft a defensive end this year.

So with all of that money on the line, Vinny Curry will surely have all eyes on him this season as he looks to bounce back from a very disappointing 2016 season. Our fingers are crossed.
