Avonte Maddox, CB - age 29* (undisclosed contract)

Concern level 4/10: Last season he was extremely reliable playing in all 21 games with the Eagles, but he has been banged up a lot over his career with pec surgery, toe surgery, severe concussion, hamstring, ankle, and knee. He will be valuable veteran depth at CB.

Khalil Dorsey, CB - age 27* (2 years / $300,000 guaranteed, up to $3.3 million)

Mitchell Agude, LB - age 26 (1yr / undisclosed)

Concern level 5/10: While he has been healthy during his college and NFL career, a life-threatening head and brain injury at age nine does carry some concerns if he has any future concussions. As a rookie last year, he played four of the last five games and hopes to build upon that going into year two.

Al-Quadin Muhammad, DE - age 30* (undisclosed contract)

Concern level 2/10: His age of 30 is the ...
