SI.com’s Don Banks has always been one our favorites, and today we like him that much more. He lists the top 10 free agents in the NFL and predicts where they will sign and says where the players should sign.
Among the free agents is Darren Sproles. While Banks thinks the diminutive speedster will ultimately land in Washington, he says Philly is the right fit for him and his skill set. Your DailyPhiladelphia said as much earlier this week.
Should Darren Sproles go to Washington, or join the upper level of the NFC East?
Sproles has the perfect make up to explode in the Eagles offense, and would be the ideal change-of-pace back to compliment LeSean McCoy. Sproles is too small to be a true featured back, but would run the screen pass exceptionally well, and gain big time yards when in the open field.
Banks also indicated the Eagles could be suitors foe free agent safety Antrel Rolle. While he is likely headed back to Arizona, Rolle is an up-and-coming young safety. He’s the type of guy the Eagles usually target in free agency.
If the Birds can land both of these guys for the price it would take to get Julius Peppers, we’re all for having the former North Carolina Tar Heel head elsewhere.
