The fingerprints of Joe Douglas were all over the Eagles' roster the last couple of seasons. That's why we saw so many former Bears and Ravens players land in Philly.
Now, we're probably going to see a lot of former Eagles end up with the Jets now that Douglas is the GM.
And because the Eagles are generally considered to have a deep roster - and the Jets perhaps not so much - there's a good chance the Jets will be interested in players who either won't make the Eagles' roster or who won't have a big role.
With that in mind, here are 10 Eagles who might intrigue Douglas:
CB Cre'Von LeBlanc
The Eagles brought LeBlanc in off waivers last November and he quickly established himself as the team's nickel cornerback and solidified a secondary that had been decimated by injuries. But this spring, LeBlanc had been relegated to second team nickel CB and appears to be sixth overall on the cornerback depth chart. LeBlanc ended up in Chicago a few months after Douglas was gone, but Douglas would have been involved in scouting him out of Florida Atlantic. I think LeBlanc is going to make the Eagles' roster, but maybe Douglas could get him with a late-round pick.
CB Josh Hawkins

I started this list with two cornerbacks because that's a position the Jets could clearly use some help. If LeBlanc is sixth on the CB depth chart, then Hawkins is seventh and the Eagles aren't going to keep seven corners. Douglas was a part of the front office that brought Hawkins in mid-season last year and kept him around for this offseason. Once Hawkins is cut free, he could be a depth player for the Jets.
S Deiondre' Hall
Hall is another player that overlapped with Douglas in Chicago. The Bears took Hall in the fourth round of the 2016 draft just before Douglas left town. Then, the Eagles thought enough of Hall to trade for him despite a suspension in Week 1 of the 2018 season. But even with injuries to the secondary, Hall played just six defensive snaps last year with a more significant role on special teams. Is this a case of the front office liking a player more than the coaching staff? If so, maybe Douglas tries to bring him in again.
C Anthony Fabiano
Maybe this one is a bit of a stretch, but as I understand it, the Jets are light at center. Fabiano is the top Eagles center who will likely be cut free. Undrafted out of Harvard in 2016, Fabiano has been with a bunch of teams and has played in nine career games with two starts. He joined the Eagles' practice squad in November.
EDGE Daeshon Hall
A former third-round pick, Hall joined the Eagles last season and actually played in three games. He has a shot to make the roster this year, but if he doesn't, he could be intriguing to Douglas and the Jets, who could use some extra pass-rush talent.
DT Treyvon Hester
The guy who tipped the double-doink is likely competing for a roster spot with Hassan Ridgeway, whom the Eagles brought in via trade at the draft. If Hester gets cut, he could provide a little interior depth for the Jets.
RB Donnel Pumphrey
When the Eagles traded up to draft Pump in the fourth round a couple years ago, Douglas praised him, saying Pump was a little dog who plays like a big dog. Pumphrey has never been on an active roster, but having Douglas in another city could possibly give the undersized back one more landing spot, perhaps as a practice squad player.
ILB T.J. Edwards
Edwards still has a chance to make the Eagles' roster or perhaps stick around on the practice squad, but he's a productive college player who many thought was going to be drafted. Douglas loves players who were productive in college and Edwards certainly fits that requirement.
WR Greg Ward Jr.
The Eagles brought in the former Houston quarterback as a project in 2017 and he has yet to make the roster, but is making another push this offseason. There are a few guys fighting for those last couple of receiver roster spots and if Ward is cut loose, he could be a deep roster addition for the Jets.
EDGE Joe Ostman
The Eagles seem to love Ostman, but I'm not sure there's room for him on their roster. Howie Roseman seems to be a huge Ostman fan, but Douglas likes hardworking players and Ostman is definitely one.
