NFC bottom-feeder named the best fit for Reed Blankenship in free agency
· Yahoo Sports
It hurts when Philadelphia Eagles fan favorites regress, but we know it happens. Sometimes, that's how we know the end is near. Sometimes, we know it's because they're due for a payday, and there isn't enough money to pay them. Birds fans saw that play out last season. Don't look now. We may be scheduled for a rerun.
Take Reed Blankenship, for instance. One-half of the 'Exciting Whites', Philadelphia has quite a dilemma. He's a team captain. He took a step back in 2025, but one can still argue that he remains an Eagles priority.

The same thing happens every offseason. Roster turnover is inevitable. Good players will travel elsewhere. Some will stay, but ESPN's Matt Bowen offers a prediction that won't go over well with those who are sentimental. Two Eagles starters are set to find new homes if Bowen's prediction proves true.
Reed Blankenship lands with the Arizona Cardinals in an ESPN free agency projection.
ESPN recently released its prediction of the best team fits for the NFL's top 50 impending free agents. Blankenship ranks 32nd. He's projected to land with the Arizona Cardinals in this theory. Here's the explanation for that.
"With safety Jalen Thompson entering free agency, the Cardinals might opt to sign Blankenship to play opposite Budda Baker. Blankenship was with current Cardinals defensive coordinator Nick Rallis in Philly during his rookie season, and he's a fit for Arizona's foundational two-high coverages. Blankenship also brings ball production (nine career interceptions with the Eagles)."
If you're interested, Jaelan Phillips stays with the Eagles, but Nakobe Dean travels north to sign with the Minnesota Vikings. Former Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell signs with the New Orleans Saints to rejoin Kellen Moore. Wouldn't that be interesting?
Here's our list of possible Blankenship replacements if he were to leave. Naturally, we're all having fun here, but once free agency begins on March 11, we'll be anything but bored. The NFL's unpredictable nature keeps us tuning in. Its entertainment value keeps us in conversation until there's something to discuss.
