Eagles Reload Linebacker Group with Jihaad Campbell

0:00On March 23rd, the Philadelphia Eagles are reloading their linebacker group once again. Nicobie Dean is heading to the Las Vegas Raiders after stepping up in recent years. His spot goes to first round pick, Jihad Campbell, the team's first true linebacker drab choice since 1979. This follows a pattern under coach Nick Seriani, where players like TJ Edwards and Zach Bond filled gaps before moving on. Now the depth includes second year man, Smale Mundon, and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in his third season, ready to contribute. Fans might need patience with Campbell, who's recovering from his second shoulder surgery. He'll miss most of the offseason, according to defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Still, the team sees big potential in him. Early signs show the Eagles fully backing their young talent through development and depth. They expect these players to grow into key roles without getting overwhelmed. As responsibilities shift, the standards stay high, turning this into a smart reload that could strengthen the linebacker position for years to come.
