The most interesting aspect of the Eagles part in this story is that Howie Roseman is still employed by the Eagles and Andy Reid is not.
Did Reid want Kaepernick but Roseman overruled him?
Did Reid want Wilson and was willing to gamble he'd be there in the third and Roseman obliged?
There are so many possibilities but this report, IMO, shows that teams operate much different than the general public imagines they operate.
