Nick Foles. Alshon Jeffery. Torrey Smith. Chris Long. Stefan Wisniewski. LeGarrette Blount. Patrick Robinson. Chance Warmack.
What do these guys have in common, apart from being Philadelphia Eagles?
Every one of them is a veteran player who came to Philly as a free agent in the 2017 offseason. That’s not even accounting for Jay Ajayi, who came to the team in a trade from the Miami Dolphins.
There are plenty of examples in recent years of teams that made notable free agent acquisitions that put them over the top. But outside of Alshon Jeffery and maybe Chris Long, who is on the back end of his career, none of these guys made any headlines when they signed with the team.
