The season of endless trade speculation, free agency predictions, and mock drafts is finally upon us!

With the Super Bowl being the last meaningful game to be played (the Pro Bowl doesn’t count), it’s time to focus in on the upcoming NFL free agency period and the draft. The Eagles will need to make serious moves if they’re to be contenders status in 2017.
