Roob’s Observations: Understanding Roseman’s unique approach to 2024 free agency originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Howie Roseman’s unique approach to the 2024 offseason, a ridiculous Parris Campbell stat, thoughts on Justin Simmons and the worst 2nd-round pick in Eagles history.
It’s all here in this week’s edition of Roob’s 10 Random Eagles Offseason Observations!
And next week? Ten more!
1A. Two weeks into free agency, Howie Roseman’s approach is clear. He’s been adding a bunch of players who don’t have a long history of elite production but have been very good at some point in their career and could benefit from a new team, a new culture, a new coaching staff. It’s an intriguing approach because it’s allowed Roseman to stock up on potential big-time talent without big-time price tags and without big-time risk or big-time cap figures. Bryce Huff has had one good season, 10 sacks last year, but if he becomes a consistent double-digit sack guy that $17 million annual average will be a huge bargain.

DeVonte Parker and Parris Campbell have both been huge disappointments considering where they were drafted – Parker fifth overall, Campbell a 2nd-round pick – but both have shown flashes.

But if he can be close to the player he was in 2022 that’s a bargain. The one exception is the Saquon Barkley contract, which makes him the 4th-highest running back in the league without anything close to the 4th-best production.
