It's going to be a camp battle for the eighth spot. Vaitai and Seumalo will be on the team. Vaitai is the top tackle reserve and Seumalo is the top interior reserve. Then Warmack is a possibility for the eighth, but they have both draft picks and also UDFAs. Plus, they re-signed Taylor Hart. I think they keep Mailata if they don't believe can pass him through to practice squad.

Worse case scenario for next years draft- Eagles lose two DE and DT. They may lose a DT this year due to health.That leaves a holei in the D. Additionally if you consider losing Peters next year and having to pay Wentz it should be very interesting watching birds trying to resolve multiple major problems.

The Eagles spent two years developing Destiny Vaeao and a year developing Elijah Qualls. They'll give those guys a chance. They can add a veteran, but the reality is that player would be a No. 4 DT when Jernigan gets back. So I can't envision that being a huge priority, especially when their DEs can bounce inside.

I don't know if I'd phrase it as a mass exodus. But that is a byproduct of success. I think the Eagles thought they'd lose one or the other this year -- not both. But I thought all season Mike Groh would get a promotion. I just thought it would be to QB coach, not necessarily offensive coordinator.

Why do reporters--including for this paper--go through the (largely pointless) exercise of predicting wins and losses in the spring when the NFL schedule is released? Is it an editorial decision or something you and fellow reporters genuinely feel adds value to your reporting?
