In a move that’s both surprising and not at the same time, the Philadelphia Eagles appear to be on the cusp of signing free agent guard John Moffitt. Provided the signing goes through as expected, Moffitt will be fighting for a spot on an offensive line that is anything but deep, where backup spots are entirely up for grabs.
Trying to make complete sense of this move is a bit of a task. On the one hand, it’s pretty clear Chip Kelly wants to build up the competition for roster spots on the line.
