This year's crop of unrestricted free agents is less than awesome, however, you can be certain that the Eagles will look to add to their roster this offseason in the open market, as they do seemingly every year.

Eagles fire wide receiver coach Greg Lewis

Lewis was hired as a positional coach in the NFL for the first time in his career for the Eagles in 2016, tasked with leading a lackluster group of talent at wide receiver.

Should the Eagles try to extend Jordan Matthews' contract?

During the 2016 offseason, the first opportunity they got, the Eagles proactively signed two players from their 2013 draft class -- OT Lane Johnson and TE Zach Ertz -- to long-term contract extensions in January. The Ertz and Johnson deals kicked off Howie Roseman's eventful first offseason after returning from "Storage B" of the NovaCare Complex.
