The start of free agency is on the horizon and the Philadelphia Eagles have some tricky decisions to make. Perhaps the most difficult of all will be coming to a conclusion on the future of D’Andre Swift, who razzled and dazzled his way to his first ever Pro Bowl nomination in 2023.
Historically, the Eagles don’t pay running backs. Ever since the DeMarco Murray implosion of 2015, Howie Roseman has veered away from pinning his hopes on one man, instead opting for committee efforts. It’s hard to really go against that logic, either.
