Potential Eagles free-agent targets with connections to Jonathan Gannon

Al-Quadin Muhammad could be the elixir for the Eagles pass rush.

Regardless of how the game of football evolves, certain rules will always be true. The pass rush helps the guys in coverage and vice versa. The Eagles, knowing that, signed Ryan Kerrigan to a one-year deal in 2021, and that blew up in their faces almost immediately.

The former Washington star had nothing left. The Birds had buyer’s remorse all season, but hope springs eternal. This could all get turned around relatively quickly.

Kerrigan and Derek Barnett are expected to leave in free agency, but Josh Sweat is still on the team. As is a young star in Tarron Jackson.

Earlier this offseason, it was learned that Brandon Graham, despite coming off of a significant injury, is still in this team’s plans for 2022. If the Eagles draft a young EDGE star and add one via free agency, they could be in business.

Pay very close attention to Al-Quadin Muhammad if you aren’t already. In the right system, he could take a step towards stardom.

In 64 regular-season games as a member of the Colts, he’s started 25 games. 47 of those games and eight of those starts came with Gannon standing on the same sideline. The results have been good for someone playing in a rotational role.

He has 127 tackles and 11 sacks to show for his work. He’d look really good in an Eagles jersey, and at 26 years of age (he turns 27 in March), he has plenty of gas left in the tank.
