Jamaal Charles

Jamaal Charles has spent his entire career with the Kansas City Chiefs since 2008. In fact, he played under Eagles head coach Doug Pederson for a few years in KC. When free agency started, Pederson praised Charles for his character and his play on the field. He told the media that he will consider taking a look at him as a possible addition for the 2017 season. Since then there has been no contact between the two parties, and Charles remains on the market.

This could be due to the fact that he only played eight games over the last two seasons after suffering major knee injuries. Maybe Charles has too many miles on him now. As good as it sounds to bring him on the Eagles, he just won’t look like the running back we saw in 2014.
