The Philadelphia Eagles are the team most suited for a $92 million, game-changing safety
Just recently, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed a franchise tag on Antoine Winfield Jr., locking him up to the team for the foreseeable future. But before that happened, the Philadelphia Eagles were projected to have the best fit for the safety.
The Eagles finished last season with an impressive 11-6 record, which placed them second in the NFC East division. Although they failed to take the top spot from the Dallas Cowboys, the team still managed to grab a spot in the playoffs.
Unfortunately, the Eagles were thoroughly destroyed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild card round with a score of 32-9. This massive collapse led the front office to terminate defensive coordinator Sean Desai and offensive coordinator Brian Johnson shortly after Philadelphia was eliminated.
Meanwhile, Winfield was projected to make $92 million for his next contract after playing well for Tampa Bay last season. It remains to be seen how the franchise tag will end up for the safety and whether it will lead to a longer contract for Winfield.
