Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman says that the team will be "very careful" when signing free agents during the off-season.

Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has insisted that the team will be "very careful" once free agency begins next month.

After a run of three years of reaching the playoffs without making the Super Bowl, the Eagles made a series of expensive signings in the off-season ahead of the 2011 season, but went on to miss the post-season for the following two campaigns.

Following the team's return to form in 2013, Roseman told CSN Philly: "I'd say if there was a player who was kind of in the right age group as a free agent, played an important position who we thought could be around for a long time, we would certainly be open to [a lucrative, long-term deal].

"But you see there are fewer and fewer of those players available in free agency, so what happens is good players get great player money, pretty good players get really good player money, and then it throws around the whole structure of your roster.

"The guys that you've drafted, they look around and they say, 'Well, this guy they brought from somewhere else, and they're paying him maybe more than he's worth'. So you have to be very careful in free agency, and I think what worked last year was based on the free-agent market."

The Eagles won the NFC East in 2013 before losing to the New Orleans Saint in the wildcard round of the playoffs.
