"We got a lot of picks here and we're happy to use those picks in the draft, but I think for us, the early part of the season, September, we have to see what we have and if we need something, I'll do whatever I can to help this football team and be aggressive," said Roseman, who also acquired running back Tank Bigsby, corner Jakorian Bennett, QB Sam Howell, OT Fred Johnson and Metchie since making that statement."
"The first half of the season confirmed that they needed help, particularly at CB2 and on the edge. The additions of Carter II and Alexander don't guarantee the secondary will be fortified but they do give defensive coordinator Vic Fangio some options to play around with for a pass defense that ranks 17 th in opponent QBR (56.6) and 14 th in passing yards against (1,727)."
Howie Roseman executed multiple trades ahead of the NFL deadline to bolster the Eagles' defense, targeting cornerback depth and edge help. Philadelphia added multiple players, including Carter II and Alexander, to provide defensive coordinator Vic Fangio more personnel options. The team entered the moves after the first half of the season revealed needs at CB2 and on the edge, and after Roseman signaled a willingness to be aggressive with roster moves. The secondary and pass rush now have new options, while some additions bring limited recent playing time and unproven fit within the current scheme.
