Eagles’ three-step team-building plan has continued to serve them well

New York Times  

“I don’t think I ever talked this long during questions,” Howie Roseman said. GO DEEPER Eagles great Fletcher Cox on retiring from NFL: 'I gave this game all I can give' “You have two options, right?” Roseman said. And we’re trying to do things that are best for this team long term that it makes sense for these guys to be around these great players.” It’s little wonder why Roseman’s reply was wordy. The central idea, Roseman said, has been to “get out in front of problems,” and, even when liberally applied, the idea explains the thinking behind every major decision he’s made this offseason. Mailata and left guard Landon Dickerson also signed lucrative extensions through 2028, collectively representing the second of the team’s apparent three-step team-building plan under Roseman: Build your roster through the draft.
