Under NFL Players Association rules, the first day coaches can contact players is April 20. That gives Sean Mannion exactly 137 days to build, install, and execute a playbook he's never created — with a roster that may not fit his scheme.
Rams GM Les Snead confirmed at the NFL owners meetings that the Eagles were actively shopping AJ Brown. The trade fell through because the Rams refused to surrender their first-round pick — the only reason Brown isn't already gone.
The Eagles signed Chandler Martin to a two-year deal. Most fans shrugged. That's exactly the point — Howie Roseman's draft-proofing strategy gives the Eagles a massive advantage that 31 other teams ignore.
