The Eagles are interested in adding a veteran cornerback, head coach Doug Pederson told reporters, including Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com (Twitter link).
Philadelphia attempted to revamp its secondary this offseason, but the club is still fielding a relatively inexperienced group in the defensive backfield. As Frank notes, free agent signee Patrick Robinson is the only corner on the roster with more than eight career starts under his belt. Ron Brooks is also a veteran, but the rest of the depth chart includes young players such as Sidney Jones, Rasul Douglas, and Jalen Mills. Jones, notably, may not be ready for the start of the 2017 season as he recovers from a torn Achilles.
The best available free agent cornerbacks include Darrelle Revis, Brandon Flowers, Sam Shields, and Leon Hall. Other defensive backs of note who are still on the open market: Kyle Arrington, Chris Culliver, Dee Milliner, and Kyle Wilson. The Eagles currently possess ~$6.3MM in cap space, so any free agent signing would likely need to come in around the minimum.

They’ve been waiting for someone to get cut I believe. They have some kind of plan otherwise they would have done more during the offseason. At least I hope they have a plan.
