As much as Philadelphia Eagles fans hate to hear about the possibility of adding former Cowboys to the roster, on the surface, Taco Charlton seems like a nice fit.
Well, here we go again. Another player with a recognizable name hits the open market, and immediately the questions about whether or not “so and so” is a nice fit for the Philadelphia Eagles begin. This time, it’s Taco Charlton.

In 37 career games (that includes 12 as a starter), Charlton has racked up 67 career tackles. 42 of those were solo and 11 resulted in a loss of yardage.
