After the Eagles signed Chance Warmack and Stefen Wisniewski and after it appeared that they were keeping Allen Barbre, it seemed Jason Kelce was on his way out.
Not so fast, said vice president of football operations Howie Roseman.
Do these moves mean the Eagles are moving on from Kelce?
"No," Roseman said at his Friday afternoon press conference. "In fact, the first thing we talked about this morning was the outstanding depth we have on the offensive line.
"When you look at it, you can say you're committed to the lines, but then the actions have to back that. As we look at our offensive line and the depth that we had ... we played five right tackles this year. We know we're going to need all those guys. It's a position around the league that people are looking for.
"We're really excited and our plan is to keep all of those guys."

Still, something doesn't quite add up.
The Eagles were about $6.1 million under the cap coming into Thursday. Then they cut Connor Barwin (saved $7.75M). But then they went out and signed Alshon Jeffery, Torrey Smith, Warmack and now Wisniewski.
Once these new players pass their physicals and sign their contracts, the Eagles will have to send the paperwork to the league and must be under the salary cap.
Here's what Roseman said when asked about corresponding moves:
"Yeah, you know, I think from our perspective, we're going to have to look at things as they come through. Obviously as the draft comes too, things are going to change. We're going through all that now," Roseman said. "I think that as we look past this moment, we're going to be OK. But it is a unique situation that we've had. And I think as you look out at the league, people have had it. We're looking at that. I'm trying to not be too specific because I don't want to get into strategy here."
It seems like the Eagles' work isn't done yet.
