The Eagles have acquired rookie cornerback Kary Vincent Jr. from the Broncos in exchange for a 2022 sixth-round pick (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero). The deal became official just before 3pm CT/4pm ET, beating the deadline by a matter of minutes.

The Broncos were getting calls on multiple defensive backs this week, including Kareem Jackson and Kyle Fuller. Instead, those veterans will be staying put while Vincent heads to Philly.
Vincent, a seventh-round pick of this year’s draft, played three seasons at LSU before opting out of the 2020 season. His best work came in 2019 — 48 tackles, four interceptions, and nine passes defensed. He’s yet to see the field as a pro, but he could have his first opportunity on Sunday when the Eagles host the Chargers.
Vincent had good upside I thought at LSU, especially as a press man corner. I would be interested to see how he does in Philly.
I’m thinking that pick could be a pick that the Eagles just got from the Jets for Joe Flacco. The Jets got it from someone else. I’m pretty certain that the pick will be a sixth rounder since Flacco might not even see the field. White’s starting Thursday and Wilson may be back the following week.
He was a 7th Round pick who hasn’t played a down in the regular season for a 6th Round Pick, another Howie is the ‘smartest guy in the room’ move. The Eagles are now free to fir him before he has a chance to screw up another draft.
Fire
My thoughts exactly. Plus to add him to the roster they need to dump a player…watch it be the CB he just got in the Ertz deal we were supposed to be so stoked about. His ability to weasel his way into things like juggling the cap is one thing, but his ability to actually evaluate talent is garbage.
They cut Toth. Seems like Howie falls in love with players at draft time and will trade for them ( those he didn’t draft for whatever reason)later no matter how little they have done.
Let’s see what young vincent has.
Yes, but he’s Kary Jr not Troy Jr…
Too bad eh ?
Nothing anywhere on this site about the Eagles cutting Wilson today
Guess he doesn’t move the needle enough to warrant such notice.
