Curious as to your thoughts vis a vis Kerryon joining the Eagles.

Anyway, this is fun to look back on:

They had high priority, wonder if the Giants put in a claim also.
Kerryon and Gainwell

Ideally, he would be on the KANSAS City Chiefs with Kevin Mawae, Derrick Ward and Kurt Sohn.

Anyway, Johnson is worth the $1.3MM if he can stay on the field. The risk in claiming him is that he lands on IR before doing much of anything.
Fascinating

That the Eagles who have Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Jordan Howard and a steal in fifth rounder Kenneth Gainwell saw fit to add a running back for needed depth... But this is the team that is "trash" according to many on this site so no need to worry.
I know he had a knee injury...

Was it just an ACL tear?

Wait, so adding a fifth RB to the roster is proof positive that they aren’t trash, in your mind? Is that your thinking with this post?

I was just commenting that many posters won't care about this signing since they believe the Eagles are trash. My view is that the Eagles will surprise many people on offense given Andre Dillard is back at OT and Landon Dickerson will slot in between Dillard and Kelce in what will be one of the best OL's in football. And their starting WRs and RBs are now as strong as any team in the league. I think their defense is suspect, but Cox, Graham and Slay are still some of the best defensive players in the league.

But what do I know.
Worth a shot for them

Looked good as a rookie. He's only 23: I was surprised by that.
He was beaten out by a number of Lions backs  
PatersonPlank : 5/8/2021 2:23 pm : link
He barely saw the field. Likely won't even make the Eagles.
Kerryon?

Too much baggage.

Dickerson is a serious risk.

They do have a good OL. But they don't have a good WR group outside of DeVonta.

Slay seriously regressed last season and is on the wrong side of 30. They have a QB that lost his job at Alabama.

They have some talent, but they are far from a good team.
