We've been so snake bitten by prior trades that even the suggestion will bring criticism...but if you actually had competence in the front office it can be a different story.

Yeah every move that Roseman made has worked out. It's frustrating to see theirs all pan out and ours all blow up in our face.
That said, the Eagles have a bit of a mortgaged future, when you really look at it. This year they have a 1st rounder, 2 4ths, 2 5ths, and a 6th. That's it. Only 6 picks, and only one in the first 3 rounds. So their ability to draft players to replace some aging vets or guys that leave in free agency is diminished.
So I'm hoping that as Jason Peters and Jason Kelce age they'll struggle to replace them cheaply. They'll hopefully find themselves needing to get a center and a tackle in free agency, thus really putting them in a cap bind once Wentz reaches the point where he needs to be resigned. And his contract will blow the doors off.
We just have to keep them from winning the SB over the next three years, somehow someway, and then I think they'll find themselves in the same position as the Seahawks are right now. Still in good shape because of the QB, but life is still a struggle at other positions.
