A low-risk practice squad depth move with minimal immediate impact for Philadelphia. Headlines across multiple outlets confirm this is a practice squad signing, not a roster elevation. Castro-Fields' Penn State pedigree offers some developmental upside, but he's been waived multiple times already. Eagles fans see this as routine roster management rather than any meaningful upgrade at cornerback. He'll need a standout camp performance to ever crack the active 53-man roster.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Philadelphia Eagles — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Tariq's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL DBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the DB market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Tariq is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
