NFL Trade Rumors
49ers DE Bryce Huff knew pretty quickly that he wasn’t a fit in Eagles DC Vic Fangio‘s system as an outside linebacker.
Eagles DC Vic Fangio mentioned several players he will count on as pass rushers this season, including Nolan Smith, Jalyx Hunt, Josh Uche and Azeez Ojulari.
“I feel good about Nolan,” Fangio said, via Pro Football Talk. “I think we’ll feel good about Jalyx now that he’s gonna get a lot of reps and develop. He played good for us down the stretch last year, and played a lot, as you saw, so I feel good about those two guys, and I think they’ll continue to improve. We’ve got Uche, we’ve got Azeez, we’ve got three other guys there. I think we’ll be fine.”
During a radio appearance, Steelers beat writer Mark Kaboly was asked whether he thinks the team will sign a safety over a wide receiver, given that they moved S Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Dolphins in their most recent trade and now have veteran S Juan Thornhill slated to start.
“Yeah, probably,” Kaboly said on 93.7 The Fan. “I mean, they love Calvin Austin, man. They think Roman Wilson can step up. They’re intrigued by Robert Woods. Now, at this point [in free agency], what are you going to get? Are you going to get a Keenan Allen that doesn’t want to play, or Amari Cooper? … I like Calvin Austin. I don’t know if he could take it to that next level that they need to take it to, but I think they’re very willing to be able to take that chance to see if he can do it.”
