It was just three years ago when the Philadelphia Eagles were coming off their last division title and decided the best way to make a run at the Super Bowl was to spend freely in free agency. Don't expect these Eagles to throw tons of money at big-name players when the NFL's free agency period opens Tuesday, even though they have about $24 million available under the salary cap. ''When we look at the free agent market and how it is, we try and find the right fits,'' general manager Howie Roseman said in an interview with The Associated Press. ''We don't go into the draft saying: 'We have to.' We say: 'We'd like to but we don't have to.' That's how we view free agency and as we get developed as a program, it gets less and less and you pick your spots.'' The Eagles were the talk of the NFL in the 2011 offseason when they signed former All-Pro cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha to a $60 million contract, and added defensive end Jason Babin, defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins, quarterback Vince Young and running back Ronnie Brown in the wildest spending spree in team history.
