unCovering the Birds: The last ride?
The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane and Mike Sielski examine general manager Howie Roseman’s pragmatic, somewhat predictable approach, and whether or not they expect it to stay the same as the offseason barrels towards the annual NFL owners meeting and draft.
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has stuck to a steady, mostly predictable formula this offseason: add depth to appropriate places via pragmatic, sensible signings. Whether his strategy stays the same moving forward remains unclear. Just last week, Roseman dipped his toes into a growing NFL trade market, and with the draft weeks away, along with the flurry of transactions that typically comes with it, perhaps he’ll find opportunities to mix up his approach. This storyline is one of several The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane plans to follow during the league’s annual meeting at the end of the month. He and colleague Mike Sielski look ahead to the questions and issues Roseman, head coach Nick Sirianni, and owner Jeffrey Lurie might face in Phoenix, AZ.
