The Story in 60 Seconds

Inside the Iggles writer Michael Haney evaluated five offseason moves by Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman five weeks into the season. Haney argues that three additions have proven their worth: cornerback Riq Woolen, who signed a one-year deal; edge rusher Jonathan Greenard, acquired via trade; and wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks, who stepped up following an injury to DeVonta Smith.

Conversely, Haney views the additions of wide receivers Marquise Brown and rookie Makai Lemon as early disappointments. Brown signed for $5 million but has dealt with an ankle injury and limited snaps, while Lemon has recorded just 0.32 EPA per target during his limited opportunities.
