5 free agents for Eagles to consider from Conference Championships
By Dan Parzych
1. Blake Martinez
Philadelphia enters the offseason with top needs at numerous positions, and while cornerback will be one of the most important, linebacker isn’t far down the list either since the Eagles clearly need all of the extra depth possible.
Over the last couple of years, it seems like the Eagles always enter the offseason with the need of adding linebackers to add depth to the defensive side of the football, and this will be the case once again for 2020.
During the Conference Championships, there will be plenty of linebackers expected to hit free agency for Philadelphia to keep an eye on, but when it comes to the top individual, Blake Martinez arguably is the best option.
Looking back at the last three seasons, Martinez has made quite the name for himself on defense for the Packers by starting every game, and came up big for the team in the Divisional Round to help take down the Seattle Seahawks.
Martinez will certainly play a big role in keeping Jimmy Garoppolo in check this weekend during the NFC Championship, and if the linebacker stands out again to help Green Bay punch a ticket to Miami, it’s only going to help his stock even more for free agency.
