Eagles moves

The Birds continued their in-house moves trend, and not jump into a weak free agent class.  Probably a smart idea.  They locked up WR Jason Avant to a five year deal.  Good move.  He's so good out of the slot, and converting tough third down receptions.  This facilitated the trade of Reggie Brown to the Bucs for 2011 sixth rounder.  Brown had been a non-factor in the offense in the past couple of seasons, so it was probably best for both parties to go in different directions.  I liked the restructuring of Stacey Andrews deal, because he's a.) a talented lineman- can't have enough of them on the roster, and b.) his rough 2009 was most likely due to his recovery from his 2008 ACL tear.  It typically takes two full seasons to come back from that injury.  It's a good start to 2010, but the Birds still have to address their issues on the defensive side of the ball I mentioned in my "If I were the GM" series.
