That’s a strong group so far. I’ll add thoughts tonight when we know the whole group.
*****
The team lost a few players.
Cardinals claimed former Eagles’ OT Brett Toth, per source. Toth gets to continue to chase his dream in Arizona, which has the Fort Huachuca Army Base in Cochise, AZ. Toth can serve the Cardinals and the military.

And how about this: With Washington playing at Philadelphia on Sunday, the Redskins claimed former Eagles' RB Wendell Smallwood on waivers, per source.

For quarterback, Cowboys elected to add external option to practice squad. They are signing former Eagles QB Clayton Thorson, sources said. Rookie fifth-round pick from Northwestern.

Toth makes sense for the Cardinals. That is a bad team. They are building for the future. Toth has NFL ability, but needs work. They can give him a ton of practice reps and get him ready for the future.
Smallwood is a good role player so I knew some team would add him. Skins are also Eagles opponent next weeks so they get added bonus of picking his brain about the Eagles offense.
I don’t know what to say about Thorson. He struggled for most of the summer. He does have some ability, but needs a ton of work. I’m shocked another team wanted to sign him. Anyone who saw the preseason finale had to be discouraged.
One bit of good news.
Former #Eagles DT Treyvon Hester passed through waivers unclaimed.

Let’s hope the Eagles can add him to the PS.
