CHICAGO - The Eagles further narrowed the list of things they have to do in the NFL draft, which gets under way here Thursday, when they signed reserve free agent defensive tackle Mike Martin, who was a Titans third-round pick in 2012.
Crafting a 2016 roster that isn't dependent on the draft has been de facto general manager Howie Roseman's quest ever since he was restored to power, and it became even more important after last week's tradeup with the Browns. The Eagles would like for their presumed first-round selection, quarterback Carson Wentz, to never take the field in a regular-season game in 2016.
