Buckhalter is an unrestricted free agent, do you think they might let him go considering his injury history? Didn't he miss two of the last three years with a knee injury?

I would let him go.

Even if they keep him I'm not sure how much they can rely on him at least early in the season. It normally take a player a year to fully recover from a knee injury.

The Eagles love Westbrook so assuming they get him re-signed the chances of them bringing in someone like Alexander is probably slim.

I still think they would greatly benefit from having someone who can gain the tough yards late in games, but hey, I won't complain if they don't bring in someone like Alexander, that's for sure.
