Eagles fall just short of a top-10 finish in free agency class ranking
A calculated offseason earns praise, but one concern keeps Philadelphia just outside the top tier in a recent free-agency ranking.
The Philadelphia Eagles didn't dominate headlines this offseason for the most part, other than a nice add here or there, but their approach hasn't gone unnoticed. According to ESPN analyst Ben Solak , their work in piecing together a respectable free-agency class was strong. It just wasn't quite strong enough to crack the top 10.
That may come as a surprise given how active general manager Howie Roseman has been behind the scenes. Solak specifically praised the way Roseman handled trade discussions involving A. J.
Brown. Rather than rushing into a deal, Philadelphia kept its asking price high while maintaining cap flexibility. "I loved how general manager Howie Roseman walked the line of an A.
J. Brown trade. He kept his asking price high and kept the cap open by delaying Goedert's void date, which centralized Brown in the WR trade market.
