A look at how 50 former Eagles around the league are playing this year

As the Eagles get ready to return to work, we thought it would be fun to catch up with a bunch of Eagles alumni and see how they’re doing.

We put together a list of 50 (or so) former Eagles, now with other teams, ranging from former 1^st-round picks to training camp phenoms to Super Bowl champs to forgotten practice squadders.

Some of these guys will always be revered in Philadelphia. Some of these guys you won’t remember. Some of these guys you won’t want to remember.
