Roseman says Eagles understand the risks in Green-Beckham trade

Howie Roseman knows that when something looks too good to be true, it probably is, but the Eagles face a critical talent shortage at wide receiver, so Roseman decided to swing for the fences.

For the low price of reserve offensive lineman Dennis Kelly, Roseman Tuesday acquired second-year wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, the 40th overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft, from the Tennessee Titans.

Green-Beckham is 6-5, 240 and exceptionally talented. He also comes with a tangled background of off-field issues, and he clearly exasperated the Titans with what has been described as a lack of focus.
