We mentioned before how Philly was one of the leading candidates to land the NFL Draft next year, despite not having a first-round pick (at this point) for that draft. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, that will become official tomorrow.
Look at that shit-eating grin on Joe Banner’s face as Schefter mentions the Eagles don’t have a first-round pick. I imagine Howie Roseman will somehow, someway get into the first-round next year. You know, if he’s still here.
The NFL may also announce tomorrow that the draft will take place in Philly in 2018. According to Dave Spadaro, the agreement could be for two years.
