Eagles' biggest concern is now the defense

Howie Roseman's first order of business is complete and somewhere in the North Dakota wilderness Carson Wentz must be paw-fiving his hunting dog after learning the Eagles will have an experienced and potentially explosive trio of wide receivers next season.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the football . . .

The Eagles' biggest defensive news on the first day of free agency was the release of Connor Barwin, a veteran pass rusher who looked like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole in defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz's system last season. The Barwin loss alone should not lead to the downfall of a defense that took a huge leap forward in 2016.
