In Chip Kelly’s first year with the Eagles, it looked like they could become the powerhouse of the NFC East. Since then the Eagles have made a less than gracious decline and find themselves on the cusp of a rebuilding mode after trading away players like DeMarco Murray and Kiko Alonso. It doesn’t appear that the Eagles did enough to rebuild this offseason and could be in for a rough 2016.
2015 record: 7-9
Key draft picks: QB Carson Wentz, OL Issac Seumalo, RB Wendell Smallwood
Key additions: WR Reuben Randle, CB Leodis McKelvin
Key departures: LB Kiko Alonso, CB Byron Maxwell, RB DeMarco Murray
The Philadelphia Eagles started two quarterbacks last season. Mark Sanchez and Sam Bradford. Bradford was the better option for the Eagles and passed for 3,725 yards last season with an uninspiring 19:14 touchdown-interception ratio. With the possibility of second overall pick Carson Wentz waiting in the wings to start, the pressure is on for the former first overall pick to succeed. Bradford will have a familiar group of receivers to throw to while adding former Giant Reuben Randle to the mix.
The running game gets an overhaul after last season’s big signing DeMarco Murray was shipped to Tennessee to move up to the second spot to take Wentz in the draft. The backfield will mostly be split between Ryan Matthews as the featured back and Sproles will be situational and used for his versatile skill set. Read more..
