SOME VERY IMPORTANT THOUGHTS

• I put a * next to the 13 teams the Eagles will play in 2019.
• I count 73 former Eagles still in the NFL.
• Another year, another first place finish for the AFC East. That division loves former Eagles.
• The AFC North is a division that does not love former Eagles. The Bengals, Browns, and Ravens are the only teams in the NFL without at least one former Philly player on their roster. Alejandro Villanueva is likely going to be the only former Eagles player on a 53-man roster in the AFC North this season. Kind of weird to me the AFC North doesn’t like former Eagles given their proximity to Philly. I’d think they might have some local-ish familiarity.
• Please do not disrespect Frank Gore’s legacy by pointing out he was technically never an Eagle.
• Cedric Thorton and DRC both un-retired after previously announcing their retirements.
• 2013 Eagles undrafted free agent signing Damion Square has carved out a solid career for himself as far as UDFA standards go. He’s logged 19 starts in 59 games played and he’s still in the league in 2019.
• 2015 Eagles seventh-round pick Brian Mihalik is still hanging around the league. The Eagles took him as a defensive end but he’s since been converted into an offensive tackle. Teams are still gambling on his elite athletic profile.
• Reggie Davis, Duke Thomas, and Harold Jones-Quartey have to be among the least recognizable former Eagles on this list.
• It always amazes me that A.Q. Shipley is still around. He was last on the Eagles in 2011, which feels like forever ago.
• The Eagles traded UDFA running back David Fluellen to the Colts in exchange for Cody Parkey back in August 2014. Fluellen signed with the Titans in July 2015 and has remained with Tennessee ever since.
• Who’s the one former Eagles player you’d most want back on the team? Nick Foles isn’t realistic due to his contract. Having Michael Bennett back would make the Eagles’ pass rush rotation look better than it does right now. LeSean McCoy?
• Ruling out the big names (Foles, Bennett, McCoy), who’s one lesser known player you’d like to have back? I’d go with Raheem Mostert. He’d be a nice third or fourth running back to have on the team. I love me some Steven Means; it’s too bad he’s already out for the season.
