The intention couldn't have been more clear on March 6, when the Eagles released veteran linebacker Takeo Spikes. But that doesn't mean Stewart Bradley performed cartwheels.
It's not what the Eagles have done to upgrade in the offseason but what they still must accomplish which is of paramount concern to fans accustomed to making the playoffs six out of every seven years, not one out of every three.
After their initial trade offer of a seventh-round draft pick for Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones was declined, the Dallas Cowboys have added a player to their proposal, according to a report on SI.com Thursday.

The Eagles signed somebody yesterday who already has a statue in town named after him.
Rocky Boiman.
"There's definitely some irony there," this Rocky said. "It should be a fun thing."

Kevin Jones says he wouldn't mind playing next season for the Eagles, the team he was a fan of during his youth in Chester.
If the Eagles were looking for a coach to help quarterback Donovan McNabb get back on track, and at the same time tutor the future in Kevin Kolb, they may have found their man.
Dan Klecko may not be Randy Moss, but he can help the Eagles in the red zone, and that's one of the reasons they offered him a one-year contract pending the successful completion of a physical.
