HOWIE ROSEMAN assured reporters several times that his eyes were "wide-open" Tuesday when he traded for the untapped, perplexing talent of Dorial Green-Beckham.
Roseman's eyes must have been similarly agape last Thursday night, when the Eagles' wide receivers caught all of 60 yards' worth of passes in the preseason opener, no catch accounting for more than 10 yards. Green-Beckham, questionable focus and consistency aside, averaged 17.2 yards per catch in 2015 as a Tennessee Titans rookie, 32 catches for 549 yards.
"Certainly, when we look at that position, we were actively working phones and trying to figure out fits for our football team," said Roseman, putting his plight as delicately as possible.
