NFL free agency starts around one month from today at 4:00 PM EST on March 11th, 2014. Unrestricted free agents will be set to sign with any team they can strike a deal with. The Eagles have 10 players of their own who are scheduled to be free agents. Given the high anticipation, I thought it would be interesting to see who the fans want to see the Eagles sign the most. So I asked on Twitter...
In seriousness, who's the one guy the Eagles absolutely must sign in free agency?

...and they responded. Some serious, some not so serious. Or maybe they were being serious, who knows. Anyway, I've tallied the responses and here they are. Needless to say, the results were... interesting.
