Let’s get it back to the Eagles.

The Birds have one good cornerback on the roster. Darius Slay. CB 2 is a massive concern as we head into the season.

They’ve been linked to Steven Nelson, and here comes Slay tweeting at him:

Nelson was released by the Steelers in March. Mutual thing after they couldn’t work a trade. You probably remember the game where he picked off Carson Wentz twice. Just absolutely brutal. He’s 28 years old and entering his 7th NFL season.

I believe Adam Caplan was the first to report Eagle interest in Nelson. Not sure what the money would look like, but the Birds should seriously consider bringing him in, because they’ve got no guarantees beyond Slay. We’re talking about a group of Avonte Maddox, Zech McPhearson, Craig James, and that’s about it. They need a CB 2 like Ben Simmons needs a new team.

Also, I like Nelson’s response. I hope it’s a reference to the Wu Tang song.
