Assuming Bradberry is gone, Rodgers is in the mix with Kelee Ringo, Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean to start opposite Darius Slay.
And Rodgers says he’s a better player now than before he had to sit out the 2023 season.
“I’d say I’m faster,” he said. “I think that’s the one thing I can say. I worked on my speed (during the) offseason. I worked on my hands. I think just making plays on the ball is one thing that I definitely played a factor in throughout this offseason, just building up my speed.”
Interestingly, Rodgers said the Eagles were the only team that contacted him after the Colts released him in late June of last year.
And even though he wasn’t allowed in the NovaCare Complex and couldn’t talk to his coaches, it helped to know he was an Eagle. Even though he really wasn’t yet.
“Just knowing that they were a team that wanted me despite the whole entire suspension, just knowing that I had a place that I’ll continue to work there an offseason?” he said. “(It motivated me) to come back and be a better player.”
