Trade Deal: Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni signed his former WR coordinator for Aaron Moorehead replacement…..

During his end-of-season news conference in late January, Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni signaled his job responsibilities were shifting.

When speaking about the vacant offensive coordinator post, he said he was looking for someone that could be “in charge” of that side of the ball.
