PHILADELPHIA -- Was it a lack of faith in backup Isaac Seumalo? Was it the Super Bowl experience? Was it a move showing they are going for it all this year?
Speaking for the first time since the team signed offensive tackle Will Beatty, Eagles head coach Doug Pederson insisted on Wednesday it was none of the above.
"It's about adding talent to our roster," Pederson said. "That's what we do every time we make a signing or a trade."
Beatty, the 32-year old former Giants tackle, signed with the Eagles earlier this week in a somewhat surprising move, considering he has played just six games over the last two seasons, and hasn't played at all this year.
