3. Howie acknowledges his biggest weakness.

We’ve known this for a while. Many of us have said this. Finally, Roseman made the statement on his own. Sometimes, Howie gets too attached to some of the guys who have been around for a while.

There are many things to admire about Bill Belichick. One of the big things is this. He typically moves on from guys sooner rather than later. The Eagles used to do that. They never emotionally overpaid for players. Now, they seemingly do so every two months.

Jason Peters has to go. Nelson Agholor and Ronald Darby have to go. If the Eagles aren’t going to move Rasul Douglas to safety, his time may need to come to a close. The Eagles have done a good job with player development. They haven’t done a great job, but they’ve been good. The Eagles may also have ten selections in the 2020 NFL Draft.

If this team is going to have an ‘infusion of youth’ as Howie put it, they need to start by shedding a few guys that we all love but are clearly past their primes. That frees up money. That allows you to add talent. That has Philly right back in the thick of things in 2020. We’ll have to wait and see how things go.
