The Philadelphia Eagles are set to welcome Javon Hargrave to the nest, but believe it or not, this isn’t a move that’s void of questions.

At the time of this story being published, it will be sometime between breakfast and lunch for some of you, and it will be well after lunch for the rest of you. That all depends on what coast you live on and what time you wake up in the morning. If you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan, you’ve got a lot on your mind. On Monday, March 16th, your favorite team signed Javon Hargrave. That was after announcing that they wouldn’t place the restricted free-agent tender on Corey Clement and they had decided to extend Hassan Ridgeway for another year.

Yes, you are correct. Hassan Ridgeway is still on the injured reserve. Here’s what’s truly intriguing about all of this. Free agency and the new league year doesn’t even start until March 18th at 4 p.m. EST. Things figure to get even crazier.

While we all wait, here’s something you may have already figured out. Speaking with some of the Eagles fan base will reveal to you that ‘Birds’ fans are split on the news, just like they’re split on so many other things. Philly missed on the top two cornerbacks that were available in the pool that is free agency, Byron Jones and James Bradberry. Some see that as good news. Some say the opposite.

The signing of a nose tackle was, indeed, surprising, but no one questions Hargrave’s talent. If you’re scratching your head, don’t worry. So are some of the rest of us. Here are three huge questions following the news of Philly’s first major signing during the ‘Free Agency Frenzy’.
