Shrewd decisions in recent offseasons have the franchise back in the Super Bowl for the second time in three seasons.

There was a time before everything was automated, when general managers still mapped out their models and moves using physical materials, when Howie Roseman arranged the personnel of the NFL’s top-four teams inside his office in an obsessive collage.

There was Barkley's pricey addition, some low-cost, high-reward signings that hit, and a bonanza from recent drafts. It all added up to a return to the Super Bowl for Roseman and the Eagles.

Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has constructed three Super Bowl rosters in eight seasons, making it obvious he eats, sleeps, and breathes Eagles football.
