The Philadelphia Eagles have hit a lull now that their busy first week of free agency is over. The Eagles made a bunch of significant roster moves last week. Many took fans by surprise. The action was fast and furious and it was hard to keep up sometimes.
The Eagles' roster looks a lot different than it did when the offseason first began. There are plenty of new faces in and old faces out.
Here's a recap of all the moves made by the team.
Signed by Eagles
Free agents from other teams:
RB DeMarco Murray - (5 years, $42M)
CB Byron Maxwell - (6 years, $63M)
RB Ryan Mathews - (3 years, $11.5M)
CB Walter Thurmond III - (1 year, $3.25M)
ILB Brad Jones - (2 years, $2.85M)
Murray and Maxwell were obviously the biggest additions here.
Acquired via trade:
QB Sam Bradford - (Via St. Louis Rams)
ILB Kiko Alonso - (Via Buffalo Bills)
It appears Bradford will be the Eagles opening day starter. Adding Alonso creates a logjam at linebacker with Mychal Kendricks and DeMeco Ryans also expected to return.
Re-signed by Eagles
OLB Brandon Graham - (4 years, $26M)
QB Mark Sanchez - (2 years, $9M)
DE Cedric Thornton - (second round tender)
RB Chris Polk (lowest level tender)
WR Jeff Maehl (exclusive rights free agent) [?]
Keeping Graham was critical after being unable to negotiate a restructure/pay cut with Cole.
Cut by Eagles
TE James Casey
CB Cary Williams - (Signed with Seattle Seahawks)
OLB Trent Cole - (Signed with Indianapolis Colts)
OG Todd Herremans - (Signed with Indianapolis Colts)
Almost all of the players the Eagles cut have landed on their feet.
Relinquished via trade:
QB Nick Foles - (Traded to St. Louis Rams)
RB LeSean McCoy - (Traded to Buffalo Bills)
Chip Kelly didn't hesitate to move on from his starting quarterback and running back.
Eagles free agents
QB Mark Sanchez - (2 years, $9M)
OLB Brandon Graham - (4 years, $26M)
S Nate Allen - (Signed with Oakland Raiders at 4 years, $23M)

WR Jeremy Maclin - (Signed with Kansas City Chiefs at 5 years, $55M)
LB Casey Matthews
WR Brad Smith
DE Cedric Thornton - (second round tender)
