NFC East Notes: Eagles, Giants, Redskins

Eagles

• According to Mike Kaye, the Eagles options for replacing DE Chris Long include Josh Sweat, Daeshon Hall and fourth-round rookie Shareef Miller and Joe Ostman. 
• While the Eagles like the potential of that group, none of them have much experience, which means they could look at signing or trading for a veteran, per Kaye. 
• Zack Rosenblatt writes the Eagles will likely stand pat at defensive end through OTA’s, but if they did add a free agent, some options they could consider include Derrick Morgan, William Hayes, Andre Branch, Kony Ealy, and Frostee Rucker. 
• If the Eagles wanted to trade for a defensive end, Rosenblatt lists Shaq Lawson, Vic Beasley, Arik Armstead, or Solomon Thomas as speculative options. 
• The Eagles will have $28 million in cap space following Long’s retirement. (Jimmy Kempski)
• Eliot Shorr-Parks says it’s hard to imagine S Malcolm Jenkins‘ absence from voluntary OTA’s isn’t related to his current contract, though the veteran hasn’t said anything publicly.
• Jenkins has led the NFL with 3003 defensive snaps the past three seasons, but his current salary and guarantees all rank between ninth and 11th for safeties. 

Giants

• The Boston Globe’s Ben Volin says to keep an eye on Giants CB Janoris Jenkins as a cap casualty later this year, as the Giants could save $10.15 million by releasing or trading him. 

Redskins

Redskins S Landon Collins thought Dwayne Haskins was the best quarterback in the draft even before he landed in Washington. 

“I thought he was going to the Giants, honestly,” Collins said via NFL Media’s Herbie Teope. “That’s who I thought they were going to get, that’s who I thought they needed, and they decided to go elsewhere. When I saw we picked him up, I was like, we just stole the best quarterback.”

• The Boston Globe’s Ben Volin mentions CB Josh Norman as a potential cap casualty, as the Redskins would save $11.5 million by releasing or trading him.
