Eagles Lose Cornerback Isaiah Rodgers to Vikings

Cornerback Isaiah Rodgers has signed a two-year, $15 million contract with the Minnesota Vikings, leaving the Philadelphia Eagles after a successful season as their third cornerback. Rodgers, who made $1.055 million during his year with the Eagles, played a crucial role in their Super Bowl run but faced challenges due to a prior gambling suspension. His departure follows that of veteran Darius Slay, which has left the Eagles' cornerback position in need of depth, currently relying on young players like Kelee Ringo and Quinyon Mitchell. The Eagles may consider moving Cooper DeJean from the slot to bolster their outside cornerback situation. While the team has some promising rookies, the loss of Rodgers and Slay raises concerns about their secondary ahead of the upcoming season. The Vikings' interest in Rodgers was fueled by his potential as a starter and his value on special teams.
