I've been waiting for the Eagles to make a big move this off season and this morning they did. The dirty birds traded a fifth round pick to the New Orleans Saints RB Darren Sproles. The fifth round pick was one of two which was acquired when the birds traded Isaac Sopoaga to the New England Patriots last season. So basically, the Eagles traded Sproles for Sopoaga. I'll take it.
LOVE this move. LOVE Darren Sproles. The Eagles offense is STUPID good on paper. GM Howie Rossman is supplying Chip Kelly with more toys to play with. So many options now: Jackson, Cooper, Maclin, Celek, Ertz, McCoy and now Sproles. Jesus. The Eagles offensive success all comes down to how Nick Foles plays. He's got all the weapons he needs. Hard to believe he can duplicate last season, but if he can play nearly that well the Eagles could easily put up 50+ points against the NFC East's sorry defenses. Who can match up with them? No one in the NFC East.The Seahawks for certain, maybe the 49ers? but thats it. Luckily for us fans we will be able to watch both of those matchups this season.
The Eagles also picked up S Malcolm Jenkins and CB Nolan Carroll who will certainly help their pass defense which ranked last in the NFL last season. Rossman appears to be trying to keep pace with John Elway and he is succeeding.
