The Philadelphia Eagles have several needs on their retooled roster, none more urgent than an upgrade at the safety position. - PFF recently looked at the perfect free agent match for all 32 NFL teams, and Jets talented safety Marcus Maye made the list for Philadelphia. - PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: S MARCUS MAYE - Maye is one of several free agents entering free agency off a significant, season-ending injury. Add that Maye wasn’t playing all that well before his injury and it’s reasonable to expect a suppressed market. PFF currently projects Maye to sign a one-year, $6 million contract this offseason. That could present an opportunity for a team like Philadelphia in need of safety help. - Maye is a versatile free safety who has graded out well in zone coverage throughout his career, particularly in 2020 when he earned an 85.8 PFF coverage grade. Philadelphia’s 2021 starters — Anthony Harris and Rodney McLeod — are both free agents. - An impact player when he’s been available, Maye was limited to six games in 2021 after he suffered a torn Achilles tendon. - A versatile safety, Maye recorded 312 tackles and six interceptions in 60 games played with the Jets. - - List - - 15 Biggest salary cap hits for the Eagles in 2022 as free agency approaches - - - - - - - - List - - Potential trade targets that could be available to the Eagles in a buyers market - - - - - - - - RelatedEagles agree to 1-year, $14M deal with Jason Kelce for 2022NFL trade news: Eagles getting calls about Fletcher Cox as free agency approachesBroncos acquire QB Russell Wilson from Seahawks for multiple 1st-round picksAaron Rodgers agrees to a massive 4-year, $200M deal with Packers2022 NFL free agency: Potential Eagles target Mike Williams agrees to 3-year, $60M deal with Chargers - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Eagles Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Eagles Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
