The beauty of being a Philadelphia Eagles fan is that we’re all part of a family whose members come from different backgrounds, locations, and belief systems. We have our differences.

There’s no guarantee of this statement’s accuracy, but it appears the Philadelphia Eagles are content to ride into the coming regular season with its wide receiver corps as currently constructed.
