The Facts: It's been an eventful year for the Eagles. Executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman called it a "challenging" process during Wednesday's press conference and it was one that kept going right up to the trade of Sam Bradford right before the start of this season. That trade pushed their first-round pick, Wentz, into the starting job and Roseman said that the silver lining of a 7-9 season is that they "couldn't be more excited" about what they saw during his rookie season.

Diehards Line: “It’s never satisfactory when we are sitting here having a press conference in January,” Roseman said. “But the reality is that when we made this decision to trade up for the quarterback, we’re going to build around him. When we re-signed [Fletcher Cox], we knew we had a 25-year-old we were going to build around. And we are going to stick to our plan. We are going to be disciplined with our process, and we are going to do the right things for this football team.” As PFT suggested, one of the areas they need to build up to help Wentz is wide receiver. Washington free-agent-to-be and former Eagle DeSean Jackson has been mentioned as possible candidate.
