    Free Agency; Fletcher Fired

    This journey, Chip and Ryan discuss the storm that has been NFL Free Agency. The Eagles were able to re-sign James Bradberry in a surprising move where he took less money to remain an Eagle. The Eagles also re-signed Jason Kelce, Boston Scott, and added RB Rashaad Penny from Free Agency. With the moves to sign these two backs, it appears Miles Sanders' time in Philly is over... Thank you for everything, we wish you all the best in your future! CJ Gardner-Johnson has yet to be signed by anyone, and if the Eagles are able to re-sign him, that would be huge. The Sixers have been playing at a great level, Joel Embiid has been consistently at an MVP level this year, and the top of the East is a very tight race. Will the Sixers be able to maintain this level of play during the upcoming west coast trip? The Flyers finally fired Chuck Fletcher, Danny Briere takes over as Interim GM. The first domino has fallen, now it's time to get the rest of the front office in line.
