Eagles GM: Heckert Interview Thoughts
Feb 16, 2009 Eagles Draft, Eagles Rumors
It’s important to remember that anything you hear from personnel people this time of year has some hint of posturing and mind games. But a couple of the non-”GO GET BOLDIN NOW!!!” points from Heckert’s interview I found interesting:
- Reggie Brown will be back with the team next year. From a cap perspective, it never made sense to cut him this season. However, you have to wonder what this guy’s role is going to be. I’m sure the Eagles are hoping he works his tail off over the next few months and comes into camp with a chip on his shoulder. We’ll see.
- Apparently defensive end is not a priority. And Heckert said “we’re pretty much set” for linebackers. The linebacker thing is a no-brainer, but there were at least some questions about DE. Apparently the Abiamiri/Thomas tandem opposite Cole is satisfying Johnson and his group.
