On reading article on Eagles secondary i will be VERY DISTURBED! if we don't sign Sean Smith--in fact i say with MUST sign Sean Smith.
<<This isn't a hole the Eagles can easily spend their way out of, with at least three new starters -- LCB, FS and SS -- needed. They gave up a franchise-record 33 touchdown passes last season and their pass rush isn't what it was three years ago.

Defensive coordinator Bill Davis, leading the switch to a 3-4 scheme, might want to bring cornerback Dolphins unrestricted free agent Sean Smith on board, and if the Palm Beach Post report that he's seeking about $8 million per season over four years is accurate, it'd be a worthwhile investment. To contend with manchild Dez Bryant and Hakeem Nicks for 50-60 snaps a game, the Eagles need a big body with cover skills.

Smith is 25 years old and in 113 targets last season, gave up only 54.9 percent completions per Pro Football Focus.

When the free agency dust settles at the end of the March, Philadelphia can focus on a draft class deep at cornerback and solid at safety. Junior cornerback Dee Milliner of Alabama and Xavier Rhodes of Florida State are the most skilled, and NFL-ready, with the potential to be impact starters as rookies.>>
