Howie Roseman says the Eagles are in the quarterback investment business, and that’s why they decided to make the blockbuster trade with the Cleveland Browns Wednesday for the second pick in the draft.
But a part of me, a big part of me, thinks the deal – which will result in the Eagles selecting the quarterback the Los Angeles Rams don’t want – either Jared Goff or more likely Carson Wentz -- also is about ridding themselves of one more memory of the Chip Kelly era.
They traded away Kelly’s $63 million cornerback mistake, Byron Maxwell. They got rid of his $40 million running back blunder, DeMarco Murray.
