Before the start of the 2021 offseason plan that began on Friday at the rookie small training camp, the Eagles officially announced several rounds of roster changes, including the addition of free agent defensive guards.

Birds added former Vikings and Jaguars guard Nate Meadors (Nate Meadors), who initially signed with the Vikings as unsigned rookies in free agents in 2019. In more than a season with Minnesota, Midows rebounded between the practice team and the active lineup and ranked fourth. Participated in two games as a rookie (and recorded two tackles), then only had one in the second season before being released by the Vikings in September 2020.

A few weeks later, Meadows was signed by the Jaguars, but did not appear in any of their games. After the 2020 season, they signed him to a futures contract but was eventually abandoned and then cut Meadors earlier this month.

The Hawks’ guards are very thin. Sly is the only guaranteed perimeter starter, and Avent Maddox serves on the forward, but they only picked Zech McPhearson and Linked Free agent Steven Nelson (Steven Nelson). It seems that Meadors can climb famous places, but for this group, this is not entirely without problems. In this offseason, he only needs to prove to the birdies that he can provide depth for them in position (and it is always good to contribute to a special team).

In addition to the Meadors signing, the Eagles also announced their seven undrafted free agents, all of them Previous report Sign a contract with the bird.

The biggest names in this group are former Georgia and Wake Forest Quarterback jamie newman, As of now, he ranks third in the Eagles QB rankings, mainly because they only have two other people on the list (Jalen Hurts and Joe Flacco). In addition, the Hawks also hope that people like Florida WR Trevon Grimes and Nebraska near-end Jack Stoll can contribute to the offense, but like all of them, there are reasons not to be Draft.

Of course, every year it seems that a team finds a gem in their UDFA-the Eagles don’t have to look too far to find an example of this. The Hawks’ Super Bowl hero Corey Clement (Corey Clement) was UDFA as early as 2017. After the rookie season is full of hope, he may not have a long life or a career that many people hope for, but this is just a reminder that it is too early to leave these guys. Let’s at least see what they can do while practicing.
