5 players you forgot played for the Philadelphia Eagles
Frank Gore, the third-leading rusher in NFL history, nearly signed with the Philadelphia Eagles before the 2015 season.

What caused Gore to change his mind?
Gore would later say that he wanted the chance to play with a great quarterback, and Andrew Luck, however brief his career was, played at an extremely high level. At the time of Gore's decision, it was fairly clear that the Eagles didn't employ a quarterback at that level, which prompted them to trade for Sam Bradford just days later.
