Howie Roseman explains last-second restructuring of Eagles' offensive line

The dust has settled in Philadelphia, but it wasn't without a lot of work needing to be done by Eagles general manager Howie Roseman beforehand.

One of the big topics at the close of the preseason was the concerns surrounding the depth of the offensive linemen. A lot of the veterans players they signed or traded for during the offseason did not work out the way they had hoped.

That's why Roseman felt the need for the team to make a trade over the weekend to improve the offensive line. It led to the return of Fred Johnson, who was traded from the Jacksonville Jaguars to Philly in exchange for a Day 3 draft pick.
