We all know that Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman loves to add big-name talent to his roster. Whenever trade speculation arises — like this year with Myles Garrett, T.J. Watt and Micah Parsons — every prognosticator seems to tab Philly as a suitor by default.

He’s spent the past few seasons locking up superstar talent on offense while building on defense through the draft, but plans change when a potential game-changing pass rusher in his prime suddenly becomes available.
