With the start of organized team activities for the Philadelphia Eagles, all eyes will be on whether Chip Kelly’s intensive offseason plan has actually paid off for the team.
His unorthodox routine is by now well-known, as he cut ties with a handful of Pro Bowl players and paid top dollar for veterans DeMarco Murray and Byron Maxwell, as well as trading Nick Foles and a 2016 second-round draft pick for oft-injured quarterback Sam Bradford.
It’s refreshing that Kelly has been so unsatisfied with last year’s 10-6 record that still included a franchise-record 474 points scored.
