Philadelphia Eagles —  Cameron Wake

Stay with me on this. Philly went all in on pass rushers in the spring but Brandon Graham will be a free agent, Michael Bennett may not have much left in the tank, and the Eagles will have to scrape the bargain bin if they hope to add anyone next offseason.

As it stands, Howie Roseman has Philadelphia more than $49 million over the cap for 2019. Even Dan Snyder is blushing at that figure.

Can they convince Cameron Wake to come play for cheap and chase a ring? Wake still has some juice in those legs and can get after the pass rusher, particularly on a team like the Eagles where he’d only have to be a rotational player.

This team may have to undergo a major transformation over the next year and likely won’t have the money to make any kind of splash signing short of getting an aging veteran like Wake to take a discount for play for a Super Bowl title.
