King Likes Keeping Lito

Peter King for one, applauds the Eagles for trading their first round pick in the deal they got, but more importantly praises the Eagles for keeping Lito Sheppard.

 

3rd corners play 57% of defensive snaps, researched King, and that means even if he doesn’t start, Lito will be getting plenty of playing time. Interestingly, that contract he’s not happy about would still be a sizeable payout for a CB that doesn’t start. (though we recognize that given playing time and health, Lito is a pro bowl caliber corner.) I’m just saying.
