Eagles Stay or Go 2024: Will Fletcher Cox be back for another season? originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Reuben Frank and Dave Zangaro bring back Stay or Go in 2024, trying to figure out the futures of every Eagles player on the roster.
We already looked at quarterback, running back, receiver, tight end, interior offensive line, offensive tackle and specialists.
Up today: Defensive tackle
Thomas Booker
Roob: I really want to see Booker in training camp because he’s a huge dude who the Texans liked enough to draft in the fifth round in 2022. Booker didn’t get to Philly until camp was over this past summer, so we never got to see him practice. Depending what happens with Fletcher Cox there could be a roster spot for a guy like Booker. He’s a longshot no doubt but an intriguing guy worth a good look in camp.
Verdict: Goes
Dave: The Eagles liked Booker enough to keep him on their practice squad all season after he was waived by the Texans at final cuts but we didn’t see him in any game action and he arrived after training camp so we don’t have a lot to go on here. As a rookie fifth-round pick out of Stanford, Booker played in 10 games and started one and had 15 tackles, half a sack and five pressures. Booker (6-3, 301) will have an opportunity in training camp but he’ll have to do an awful lot to earn a roster spot.
Verdict: Goes
Jalen Carter
Roob: Carter looked like an All-Pro the first half of the season and although he still played well the second half, he did fade significantly. He was still good enough to finish second in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting, but the talent is there for Carter to be a Pro Bowler and considering that Aaron Donald is 32 and Chris Jones is 29 the All-Pro team is within reach as well. He’s got the tools to be that good. Carter had the luxury of mentorship from Fletcher Cox this year and Cox was incredibly generous sharing his time and knowledge with all the young linemen. But it’s now up to Carter to do what it takes…
