Philadelphia Eagles: 6 potential free agents from Super Bowl 54 to target
By Dan Parzych
4. Darron Lee
Last May, Kansas City knew they had nothing to lose by acquiring Darron Lee from the Jets since they only needed to give up a sixth-round pick in 2020, meaning if they decide to move on, this really wouldn’t be viewed as that big of a deal.
At the time of the trade, Lee was coming off an impressive 2018 campaign in which he started 12 games, and found a way to record three interceptions, one of which happened to go for a touchdown.
Even though Lee appeared in every game for Kansas City during the regular season, the linebacker only started two of those contests without any sacks or interceptions.
With all this in mind, there’s a good chance the Chiefs decide to let Lee test the free agency market this offseason since the linebacker only seems to be around for depth purposes, and the defense could easily find a replacement.
If this turns out to be the case, this could work out great for Philadelphia since the team seems to have spent the last few years looking for all sorts of help at linebacker.
Plus, with Lee only being 25, the great factor about a player like Lee is there still seems to be plenty of great football left in him.
