The rich always get richer, and the Philadelphia Eagles are absolutely wealthy.
That’s why they want to keep adding even more firepower to their already-stacked roster.
According to a report by NFL insider Jordan Schultz, they hosted veteran CB Mike Hilton for a visit.

The former Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers standout will work out for the defending Super Bowl champions on Monday.
The Eagles have a solid defense, but there’s still a big opening at cornerback.
Vic Fangio rolled with Quinyon Mitchell, as expected, yet there are still doubts about who should start opposite him.
Jakorian Bennett and Adoree’ Jackson both struggled, and Kelee Ringo only played on special teams.
Jackson allowed five receptions on seven targets for 103 yards, and while CeeDee Lamb is an elite pass-catcher, he clearly won’t be able to hold his own against him twice a year.
Other than that, the Eagles’ secondary looked solid with Cooper DeJean, Reed Blankenship, and Andrew Mukuba alongside Mitchell, so they just need to add that missing piece to be even scarier.
Hilton is a proven ball-hawk with a great nose for the football.
He’s good in coverage and excels in the slot as well.
The Eagles will square off with the Kansas City Chiefs for a Super Bowl rematch in Week 2.
And while they shouldn’t find that much trouble against a decimated receivers corps that will be missing Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice, revamping that cornerback position should be at the top of their priority list right now.
