Sources: Philadelphia Eagles are interested in New England Patriots upcoming free agent linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. 

Late Tuesday night, a source told The Liberty Line that the Philadelphia Eagles are interested in the New England Patriots soon-to-be unrestricted free agent linebacker Mack Wilson Sr.

NFL free agency is right around the corner and we’re now just days away from the beginning of the league’s legal tampering period. On Monday, March 11th, teams can agree to terms on contracts with free agents, but the agreements can’t become official until the beginning of the new NFL year on March 13th.
