The Dallas Cowboys parted ways with a few veterans in 2024 and one former starter could become a late pickup for the Philadelphia Eagles. While Jayron Kearse carved out a role as the Cowboys’ starting safety, he has been a free agent since the end of last season.
SI.com writer Patrick McAvoy believes that he and the Eagles would make for a beneficial partnership. On July 16, McAvoy explained why Kearse would make sense as a free agency signing in Philly.
“Kearse wouldn’t be an expensive option and the Eagles certainly could afford him. The Eagles may not want to make a major splash as they have made it known that they want to try out James Bradberry at safety,” McAvoy wrote. “The Eagles have plenty of cap space and still should look for ways to add depth and Kearse could fit that description well.”
It’s an interesting idea, and certainly a move that would affect Dallas significantly. The Cowboys are moving on from Kearse for a reason, but seeing him twice a year would not be ideal.Despite the Cowboys having a new defensive coordinator in Mike Zimmer, Kearse has plenty of knowledge about the Cowboys and the NFC East.
Kearse Spends Three Years in Dallas
After five years and just 12 career starts with the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions, Kearse joined the Cowboys in a pivotal point of his career. The former Clemson Tiger had never established himself as a regular starter, but Dallas provided that opportunity.
