The Eagles' flurry of recent trades included making a move for veteran cornerback Jaire Alexander, for a late-round 6,7 pick swap.

The Eagles' trade deadline moves weren't a new chapter. They were a continuation of Roseman's team-building strategy.

It was all about flexibility and depth when it came to the cornerback double-dip scooped by Eagles general manager Howie Roseman in a span of 72 hours last week

LeSean McCoy plays a ukulele, and that's just one of the highlights as shock and awe about Howie Roseman's brilliance continues.

Howie Roseman made three trades in the last week, but the Eagles remained quiet as the trade deadline expired.

Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman didn't mince words when asked about trying to acquire Myles Garrett and Micah Parsons.

Then, Dean returned. Campbell's versatility led to an expected decision. The Eagles could make a simple switch by moving him to edge rusher, but that's when Howie Roseman dialed up an old friend, his first-ever draft choice made as Eagles GM. Brandon Graham was invited out of retirement, and he accepted that invitation.

Look, it's not lost on me what kind of comments this story will get. There will be plenty of "but they won a Super Bowl" type stuff, and that's fine. For the Eagles fans who found their way here, this isn't a "Lions are better than the Eagles" article.
