The Philadelphia Eagles have several key contributors headed for free agency this offseason, and unfortunately, they likely won’t be able to retain them all. So, they’ll have to prioritize.
One guy who should be near the top of the list of players who the Eagles want to bring back is safety Reed Blankenship, who has been a key cog in Philadelphia’s secondary for the past several seasons.
Eagles predicted to retain safety Reed Blankenship in free agency
Given his age and skillset, Blankenship, 26, will certainly be a target for other teams around the league, but in a recent article for Bleacher Report, Alex Kay predicts that the Middle Tennessee product will remain in Philadelphia.
“Staying in the City of Brotherly Love would be a great move for both Blankenship and the Eagles. The franchise clearly understands the value he brings to the team, as he has been an instrumental part of the defense throughout his tenure,” Kay wrote.
“While he may not be the most athletic or dynamic player, the Middle Tennessee product has consistently come up with big tackles, interceptions and pass breakups that have won the Eagles several close games. He's a versatile talent who brings plenty to the table and won't break the bank to retain for several more years.”
More to come.
