...and much more. Read on @theathletic.com:

Jalen Hurts' biggest fan in the building is the most important voice in the building.

The Eagles surveyed fans last summer about new stadium possibilities.
The explanatory phase now includes studying new stadiums around the NFL and renovated stadiums abroad.
The Eagles' lease runs through 2032. The latest on the stadium for @theathletic.com: www.nytimes.com/athletic/716...
Howie Roseman on adding Andy Dalton: "Independent of Tanner. We've talked about how much we like Tanner. I thought it was a good opportunity for us to bring in Andy ...You're one injury away from being one injury away. We take that seriously."
Howie Roseman on Riq Woolen: "Supremely talented player. Does he have to be more consistent to hit that at times? For sure. There's a reason that a supremely talented player was available. He knows that. I think we have some insight to who the person is."
The Eagles wanted to keep Jaelan Phillips, but Howie Roseman understood the risk of Phillips hitting the market: "At some point you've got to have parameters of what you would do, what you wouldn't do, so you're doing it in calm times. ... Understood why he's in Carolina."
Howie Roseman on the offseason: "Incomplete, and I think it's hard to really judge how the offseason's gone until you have a draft, until you see what other opportunities are out there. So I would say right now, the upgrade is incomplete, for sure."
Howie Roseman when asked about constructing the roster at WR: "Roster construction, from a macro perspective, is going to be based on a vision. That vision doesn't change by one particular player."
"A.J. Brown is a member of the Eagles."
That was as much as Howie Roseman would say on the topic.
The first of many stories from the league meetings:
www.nytimes.com/athletic/715...
PHOENIX — Howie Roseman returned to the same message whenever the Philadelphia Eagles general manager was asked a question about star wide receiver A.J. Brown: “A.J. Brown is a member of the Eagles.”

Eagles Thoughts on @TheAthleticNFL include:
- Howie Roseman's first week-plus of free agency
- Dallas Goedert's value
- The signing that deserves more attention
- Hollywood Brown doesn't indicate anything with A.J. Brown
- What's next?
www.nytimes.com/athletic/713...
This allows the Eagles to continue negotiating with Goedert. The Eagles would need to release him if no agreement is reached and incur a cap hit of $20M+.
(The salary cap picture also has ramifications on a potential A.J. Brown trade.)
The Eagles and Dallas Goedert have pushed the void date on his contract back to Monday, league sources told @theathletic.com They had previously set a deadline for this afternoon.
Jalen Hurts led a different huddle. He read to students in Camden, interacting between pages.
Remember at the Super Bowl when he was asked if he would smile? All Hurts did was smile.
Inside the classroom with a different side of Hurts, for @theathletic.com: www.nytimes.com/athletic/711...
Friday on @theathletic.com: I spent time this afternoon with Jalen Hurts while he visited Camden kindergarten students and read his new children's book.
Learn about a side of Hurts he doesn't often reveal publicly. Story to come in the morning.
- Dallas Goedert pushes contract deadline to Friday
- Jordan Davis puts pen to paper on new deal
- Eagles looking at edge rushers
- Ben VanSumeren hits the market

Four thoughts on the Jordan Davis extension, including:
- Why the Eagles made this move
- What the compensation says
- Will Davis have more of a role on passing downs?
- Does this mean anything for Jalen Carter?

A 25-step blueprint for the Eagles' offseason, now on @theathletic.com:

The Eagles should have left Indianapolis with a better sense of A.J. Brown's market.
But regardless of what happens with Brown, Philadelphia is preparing for a breakout year for DeVonta Smith.
