Summary:
The Philadelphia Eagles are considering signing former All-Pro defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. The Eagles are in need of defensive line depth after losing linebacker Nakobe Dean to a Lisfranc sprain and having to rely heavily on Josh Sweat and Haason Reddick in their Week 9 win over the Cowboys.
Pierre-Paul is no longer the player he once was, but he could still provide a valuable boost to the Eagles’ pass rush. He has 94.5 career sacks and has played in two Super Bowls.
The Eagles’ defensive line is currently led by Sweat and Reddick, but they could use another player who can put pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Pierre-Paul could fit that role, and he would also give the Eagles more depth in case of further injuries.
**Analysis:**
The Eagles’ decision to sign Pierre-Paul will likely depend on his willingness to take a role player job. He has been a starter in the past, but he may need to be willing to accept a smaller role in order to sign with the Eagles.
If Pierre-Paul is willing to sign with the Eagles, it would be a good move for both sides. The Eagles would get a veteran pass rusher with a proven track record, and Pierre-Paul would get a chance to join a playoff contender.
