Plus, the Eagles signed Marquise "Hollywood" Brown on Tuesday. Is this a sign of AJ Brown’s eventual departure?

Sheil is joined by Brandon Lee Gowton of Bleeding Green Nation to discuss the Eagles' free agency so far. Tight end Dallas Goedert will return to the Eagles on a one-year deal, but why wasn't the market more robust for Goedert, who tied Trey McBride for the most touchdowns at the TE position? Of course, the dreaded A.J. Brown conversation continues. Will he ever be traded? Plus, what positions will the Eagles be looking to utilize their top picks on in this upcoming draft?

Sheil is joined by Zach Berman of The Athletic to discuss Day 2 of the NFL’s legal tampering period and the moves the Eagles have made. The Eagles landed Super Bowl LX champion and former Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen on a reported one-year deal. What’s his expected role in the secondary? The Eagles also signed veteran tight end Johnny Mundt and re-signed tight end Grant Calcaterra, but they still need to add an elite-level pass-catching tight end. With the Patriots signing Rome Doubs, what is the likelihood that A.J. Brown could become a Patriot? Plus, did Zach let his son get the Cooper DeJean haircut?
