If you needed more evidence that Howie Roseman listens to BGN Radio, look no further than him making a trade for a running back shortly prior to our regular Thursday night recording time.

EAGLES TRADE FOR JORDAN HOWARD

Looking at the pros and cons of this move

Cons include: Declining efficiency, doesn’t help in the passing game, RB is still a need to some extent

The Eagles aren’t suddenly going to abandon their committee approach
