It’s an age-old adage in the NFL. Veterans who approach free agency are looking for one of two things. They want to be somewhere they can compete for a championship (especially if it’s eluded them), or they’ve won and are looking to line their pockets prior to retiring. At other times, it can be a combination of both. Just look at what the Philadelphia Eagles did a season ago, and look at the part Carson Wentz played in that.
Philly, who didn’t even appear to be a championship contender, was obviously in the hunt for skill players to surround their young signal caller with.
