Howie Roseman, the Philadelphia Eagles’ chief roster architect, said last week at the NFL scouting combine that his goal for this offseason is to improve the team that just won the Super Bowl title even without its league-MVP-candidate of a young quarterback, Carson Wentz.
Roseman is wasting no time trying to bring that about.
The Eagles agreed Wednesday to a trade for Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett, bolstering a Philadelphia defense that struggled in the Super Bowl against quarterback Tom Brady and the New England Patriots but was good for most of last season.
