Eagles Tight End Need

TAKEAWAY: Roseman has never been shy about wheeling and dealing, especially on draft night, but his comments here shed a light on how the team operates inside the war room during the draft.

"We're trying to keep as many good players as possible", he said, "and you're talking about a Super Bowl MVP". The good news is their departure should yield more draft picks, which is exactly what Roseman and the Eagles need. "Our intention is to keep all of our good players".

Longtime NFL punter Donnie Jones has announced his retirement from the league after 14 seasons.

Of course, he'll need to maneuver to comply with the cap, so there will be some hard goodbyes... but perhaps not as many as previously thought.

"It is something that we have thought about for a little while now", Jones said. "So we're going to have to make tough choices".

He's better than a third tight end and will be able to get starter money elsewhere. We've got to find creative ways to get better. "We were just coming off the high, and so, we haven't really discussed it".

It comes as no surprise that those countries could be the ones to sink the North American bid. Soccer, Sunil Gulati said, "We've never taken anything for granted in this process".

That game turned out to be the last of his career.

The Eagles went 7-2 with Halapoulivaati Vatai at left tackle after Peters underwent season-ending surgery to fix a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Preparations for next season are underway and one of the biggest orders of offseason business for the team's brain trust is deciding what to do with Nick Foles, the reigning Super Bowl MVP who is slated to return to backup status when franchise quarterback Carson Wentz returns from his knee injury. He was part of the Tigers 2003 National Championship team. It's not like we can just bring the band back together and expect the same results. "So we're just going to make sure that we take care of him and do the right things by him".

Three of those teams haven't appeared in the postseason in quite some time.

"From our perspective, you look at teams that have young quarterbacks and there are two phases - the rookie contract then what they have to do when you pay (the second contract)", said Roseman when he met with reporters on Wednesday in Indy. The Packers, Patriots, Seahawks, Falcons, Ravens, Steelers and Chiefs are all near the bottom of the league in available cap space. Roseman did not expand upon Ajayi's long-term future with the organization.

Because of the franchise tag and a cap that rises almost every season, free agency isn't as rife with superstar talent as it once was.

This is an offseason in which a team feasibly could be signing Kirk Cousins to a contract that pays him around $30 million per year, so the Eagles being at close to half of that is a shocking steal. If Wentz stays healthy, there's no reason they shouldn't be contenders for years to come.
