With a clear head and a strong hand, Howie Roseman on Saturday compiled a 53-man roster that gives his Eagles a modest chance to win some games in their mediocre division; that allows them to develop key positions; and, most importantly, protects the Eagles’ most valuable asset, quarterback Carson Wentz.
Winning now, of course, is the least urgent issue. For the first time since 1999, Roseman and owner Jeffery Lurie recognize this.
Remember what Lurie said at the owners’ meetings in March:
“We’re not one player away. We have lots of holes. And you’ve got to recognize that first.
