Entering the spring, the Philadelphia Eagles should remain from complacent.
With the departure of Jeff Stoutland and the arrival of Sean Mannion as offensive coordinator, the Eagles are evolving.

With Dallas Goedert entering his age-31 season and heading toward free agency, along with Grant Calcaterra, the Eagles need a specific type of move-tight end -- the "F" receiver who can win in the seam.
