Sheil Kapadia of Birds 24/7 just put up a post in which he says the Eagles will be aggressive in free agency. Interesting take.
As always, Sheil presents a sound, smart argument. He also has some quotes from Howie Roseman to back up his thoughts.
Dave Spadaro from PE.com has said the opposite, but you never know exactly where he is coming from. Sometimes Dave has an agenda (but not in a bad way). He might simply be trying to keep fans from getting their hopes up. Years ago Joe Banner went on WIP and talked about an exciting offseason. The Eagles then did very little and it royally pissed off a lot of fans.
I’ve gone back and forth on the wisdom of what to do. The Eagles do need to add multiple starters in FA, but I hope they don’t go for high end talent. Take chances on mid-level guys or ascending players. Paying mega-bucks for Pro Bowl talent is very risky. Right Nnamdi?

I think that was 2003.
Totally agree that they must be aggressive in FA and target younger players on the rise at reasonable dollars. A CB & S are a must.
