The Eagles have a need at the linebacker position and with a new coaching staff taking over, that spot could finally become a priority for Howie Roseman.

Alex Singleton is coming off a fantastic season, but the Eagles are young in the depth department and Nate Gerry is set to become a free agent.

ESPN’s Insiders broke down the best scheme fits for some of the leagues top free agents and Philadelphia made the cut for Bills linebacker, Matt Milano.

Matt Milano, LB
Best scheme fit: Eagles | 2020 team: Bills | Age: 27

Milano would be an upgrade at linebacker in Philadelphia, and the traits are there to play a three-down role for the Eagles. He can be schemed as a rusher off pressures (3.5 sacks last season), and he will play off-contact to find the ball in the run game, too.

Plus, with the ability to drop in coverage, and move in space, Milano can match in zone coverage or close windows as an underneath hook defender in sub packages.

Milano would present a definite upgrade at the position and he’s only 27-years-old, presenting the perfect building block at the position.
