Digging into the Eagles trade with the Bills that sent a draft pick and Jordan Matthews packing brought the Eagles help at corner in the form of Ronald Darby, but there’s more to the story.

That’s a direct quote from NewYorkUpstate.com‘s Ryan Talbot.

The Philadelphia Eagles executive vice president of football operations, Howie Roseman, has a habit of blockbuster trades. In a league where this typically doesn’t happen, not a year goes by where the Eagles don’t find their way into the NFL spotlight for making another one.

Their latest involves the Buffalo Bills, and it continues the wild second era of Roseman’s as stint as General Manager.

First, just in case you missed it, here are the details of the trade:

Philadelphia Eagles acquire: 

Cornerback Ronald Darby 

Buffalo Bills acquire: 

WR Jordan Matthews & 2017 3rd Round Pick

Let’s dig in.
