NFC East Rumors: Eagles, Giants, Redskins

Eagles

Giants

  • According to Matt Lombardo, the Giants inquired about S Eric Weddle, but talks never progressed past initial conversations.  
  • The NY Daily News’ Pat Leonard thinks the Giants could be players for DE Dante Fowler.  
  • Leonard also believes a defensive player is a strong option for the Giants at No. 6 overall if the team doesn’t like any of the quarterbacks available. 
  • Free safety is more of a priority for the Giants than strong safety, even after letting S Landon Collins leave.  
  • Leonard doesn’t expect the Giants to ask QB Eli Manning to take a pay cut, though he says they could add a dummy year to the end of his contract to reduce his cap hit in 2019.  
  • One NFL executive also told Leonard the Giants could pay Manning his $5 million roster bonus due March 17 as a parting gift, then decide to mutually part ways.  
  • Leonard thinks QB Nick Foles is still an option for the Giants until the moment he signs a contract for the Jaguars.  
  • The Giants weren’t high on Cardinals QB Josh Rosen during the draft process last year, so Leonard doubts they’re candidates to trade for Rosen. 

Redskins

  • ESPN’s John Keim doesn’t expect Washington to bring back WR Jamison Crowder unless he lowers his asking price.  
  • Keim says an interesting, though possible unrealistic, replacement to watch would be WR Cole Beasley
