The Philadelphia Eagles already have improved the team this offseason but more work still could be done.

Philadelphia has some cap space to work with and still could use a boost on the defensive side of the football. ESPN's Matt Bowen put together a list of the top remaining free agents and the "best team fit" for each player.

One player who surprisingly still available and looking for his next opportunity is six-time Pro Bowler Calais Campbell. Bowen linked Campbell to the Eagles in a possible major move.

"A return to Atlanta is a possibility for Campbell if he decides to play another season at age 38," Bowen said. "He tied for the team lead in sacks last season with 6 1/2. But I'm instead looking at the Eagles. Campbell would fit in Vic Fangio's 30 front as a rotational end, building more depth. At 6-foot-8 and 282 pounds, he can hold the point against the run game when matched up with offensive tackles, and he was a productive player last season for the Falcons, registering 28 pressures. I see Campbell as a total pro who could help multiple NFL squads."

Campbell is a 16-year National Football League veteran and while he may not be as dominant as he once was, he still racked up 6 1/2 sacks last season with the Falcons. He certainly has an impressive resume but the one major thing he is missing is a Super Bowl title. If he signs with the Eagles, that could change in 2024.
