Eagles reportedly agree to terms with Texans OG Brandon Brooks

The Eagles are the only team in the NFL not to have drafted an offensive lineman over the last two years, and they haven't drafted a guard since 2012. They also ignored the position in free agency during the entirety of the Chip Kelly era. Guard is as glaring a hole on the Eagles' roster as you'll find.

Eagles free agency primer: 15 players who could be of interest

The Eagles will head into free agency this offseason with $17.4 million under the cap and a need to lock up Fletcher Cox long-term, which is on the Eagles' minds.
