The question that every Eagles fan (I am) should have is, "Will #5 sign his contract extension??" Let's remember that he said he'd sign once he saw what the Eagles would do. Was this enough?? I sure hope so...

Yes, this was a very good off-season.

Except for the fact that last December the Birds were gearing up for a playoff run to the NFC Championship game. Not bad for a team everyone wrote-off after that Cincy game.

Was it a good off-season? I like McCoy, but Macklin is the same type of WR as Jackson small and fast. The birds still don't have a big physical receiver that is a legitimate No. 1. They could have had one in Boldin if they were willing to part with a 2nd round pick. The guy wants out and was on the trading block. Rookie WR rarely pan out immediately. Jackson was the exception to the rule. Not only could they have improved their situation with Boldin, but they could have taken some firepower away from the Arizona offense that dropped 32 points on them in the NFC championship game.
