During a period of time when moving players is historically not active, the Eagles have been wheeling and dealing. They sent offensive lineman Allen Barbre to Denver for a conditional 2018 draft pick as Training Camp opened. They dealt wide receiver Jordan Matthews and a 2018 third-round draft pick for cornerback Ronald Darby on August 11. On Monday, the Eagles traded offensive lineman Matt Tobin and a 2018 seventh-round pick to Seattle for a 2018 fifth-round pick.
What do all the deals mean?
They mean that the Eagles are keeping an eye on the present roster and showing faith in some of their young players.
