Former Chiefs executives could be worthwhile option for Eagles at $3 million

The Philadelphia Eagles may be on the market in the near future, but that doesn’t mean a big move is necessary.

Philadelphia is built to win now and doesn’t have huge holes like some other contenders. The Eagles mostly just need to work on adding depth on the edges. It might make sense to bolster the offensive line due to injuries.

One player the Eagles could acquire without giving up draft capital is former Chiefs starter Donovan Smith. He is a two-time Super Bowl champion with $3 million in 2023 earnings.

He may not be a big name, but he played a crucial role for the Chiefs last year. Before that, he played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Smith is still available on the open market and could be an easy option to bring more veteran depth to Philadelphia at a low cost.

Philadelphia could take him to the practice squad or active roster and know they have a reliable option. He played 12 games for the Chiefs last year. Kansas City eventually won the Super Bowl. The Eagles want to be in a similar position this year.

If Smith was good enough for the Chiefs, he should be good enough for another team. The fact that it is available is surprising. Perhaps a team will give him a chance soon, and if they want to improve, it will be the Eagles.
