Traded with a 7th round pick for Marcus Johnson and a fifth round pick.

Under contract for three more years, with a 2018 salary of 7.4M

Considering this move puts the Eagles even further over the cap, Howie must have some other shtein lined up.

Again, who was Marcus Johnson and did he ever actually play on the field?

Quick, small stature WR, showed promise, but didn't do much with his few opportunities.  Mack Hollins won more playing time than Johnson for the WR4 spot.

Nice thing about getting a player in a trade is that it usually wipes out most or all guaranteed money so he can be cut/traded at any time without a cap hit. This in turn gives a lot of leverage in negotiating Graham's next contract but also decrease the likelihood he'll be able to stay.

Wow!  for a 5th and Marcus Johnson?  WTF?

QB Eagles

Eagles becoming the all-activist team.

This is a major add for the Eagles to an already-scary roster.

I wouldn't have been surprised to see Eagles go DE in the draft, I like that this frees them up for another position. I've never been a believer in the BPA myth, at least how most people understand it, but they have that luxury if they can secure a decent LB.

Diomedes

You're not kidding, QB.  Bennett isn't as tactful as Jenkins, but he should fit right in with the spirit of the team regarding social justice and the like.

On the field...Bennet can move inside, too.  Schwarz has to be elated to get another versatile talent on the front 4.

I hope he doesn't bring that petty Seattle bullshtein with him.

The man. The myth. The legend.
