They always say the NFL is a “copycat league”, regardless of who it works out for.
Teams always try to find a way to latch on to the newest innovation, coaching tree, or any type of product that has an impact on how the game is managed and/or played.
In this latest case, the Philadelphia Eagles went against conventional wisdom and signed quarterback Carson Wentz - who still had two years left on his rookie deal - to a 4yr/$128 million extension that included $107 million guaranteed and could be worth up to $144 million, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
