Ladies and gentlemen, the calendar has finally turned to March 14th. The NFL Network and much of the media has dubbed this time as the ‘Free Agency Frenzy’. The expectation by most of the Philadelphia Eagles‘ fan base was this time would be used, primarily, to clear cap space. After that, if there were a few dollars available, they’d make a move or two. Everyone thought if they did so, they’d add a linebacker. No one thought that linebacker would be Corey Nelson.
After Nelson’s signing, most Eagles fans were in the same spot, needing to pull up a search engine to figure out who this mystery man was.
