As the Philadelphia Eagles continued to reshape their roster Wednesday, coach Chip Kelly tried to explain the ongoing housecleaning.

“I feel like we have a vision of what we want for football players here,” Kelly said. “I think we can articulate that and that’s what we’re trying to go out and get.”

The Eagles’ whirlwind week started with trading running back LeSean McCoy to Buffalo for linebacker Kiko Alonso and quarterback Nick Foles to the St. Louis Rams for Sam Bradford and seeing wide receiver Jeremy Maclin reunite with Andy Reid with his home-state Kansas City Chiefs.

It continued Wednesday with the arrivals of two former Seattle Seahawks cornerbacks, Byron Maxwell and Walter Thurmond, as well as running back Ryan Mathews.

Maxwell could make as much as $60 million on a six-year contract. Thurmond signed a one-year deal worth $3.25 million. Mathews left San Diego for a three-year, $12 million deal.

The team also announced quarterback Mark Sanchez’s new two-year contract, which reportedly will pay him $9 million and could be worth $16 million.

Even with Mathews signed, the Eagles reportedly are in the mix to add running back DeMarco Murray, who led the NFL in rushing in 2014 with the Dallas Cowboys. Murray, Bradford’s roommate at the University of Oklahoma, reportedly contacted Kelly on Wednesday morning to express his interest in playing for the Eagles.

Meanwhile, Kelly made a point to discredit any speculation that his ultimate vision at quarterback includes Oregon junior Marcus Mariota, NFLDraftScout.com’s second-ranked passer in the 2015 draft.

“Let’s dispel that right now. I think that stuff’s crazy,” he said. “I think Marcus is the best quarterback in this draft. We will never mortgage our future to go all the way up to get somebody like that because we have too many other holes that we’re going to take care of.”

Kelly said Bradford and Sanchez are his QBs.

—The Miami Dolphins officially made defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh the highest-paid defender in NFL history.

The sides came to agreement Sunday on a six-year deal that reportedly is worth $114 million and includes $60 million in guaranteed money. Suh arrived in Miami on Wednesday and signed the deal.

The Dolphins also released 31-year-old defensive tackle Randy Starks, saving the team a $5 million, and signed cornerback Brice McCain to a two-year contract reportedly worth up to $5.5 million.

To make the money work with Suh, the Dolphins have parted with Starks, defensive tackle Jared Odrick (free agent), cornerback Cortland Finnegan (released and retired), linebacker Philip Wheeler (released) and wide receivers Brandon Gibson and Brian Hartline (both released).

—The Indianapolis Colts signed wide receiver Andre Johnson.

Details of the contract were not released, but ESPN reported it is a three-year, $21 million deal.

It is the Colts’ second major move to shore up their offense and add some pieces around quarterback Andrew Luck. Free-agent running back Frank Gore signed a three-year, $12 million deal with the Colts on Wednesday morning.

Johnson and Gore, who played at the University of Miami together, flew to Indianapolis together for their signings.

—Quarterback Jay Cutler’s future is with the Chicago Bears.

“We’ve made that decision,” first-year general manager Ryan Pace said Wednesday at Halas Hall in Lake Forest, Ill. “We’re moving forward with Jay Cutler as our starting quarterback.”

Pace said he and coach John Fox spent time with Cutler and Fox was convinced of Cutler’s willingness to work, his intelligence and his ability to improve.

Pace denied the Bears offered Cutler to other teams via trade and said the coaching staff is excited to move forward. That includes new offensive coordinator Adam Gase, who had input in the process, Fox said.

Cutler’s contract includes $15 million guaranteed this season and $10 million for 2016.

—The Oakland Raiders reportedly agreed to contracts with defensive tackle Dan Williams and linebacker Curtis Lofton.

Full terms were not available for Williams, but Lofton will make $18 million over three years, with $10 million guaranteed, according to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun.

The team confirmed the Williams signing and also announced the signings of center Rodney Hudson, tight end Lee Smith and linebacker Malcolm Smith.

The team did not include terms, but Hudson reportedly agreed Monday to a five-year deal worth $44.5 million, and Smith reportedly is signing for three years and $9 million.

— Ryan Fitzpatrick has been reunited with Chan Gailey, who guided the quarterback’s best years with the Buffalo Bills.

Fitzpatrick was traded from the Houston Texans to the New York Jets for a conditional late-round pick on Wednesday, according ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Fitzpatrick, 32, is joining his fourth team in four seasons. He went from the Bills in 2012 to the Titans (2013) and Texans.

—The Texans concluded their game of musical quarterbacks, agreeing to a deal with Brian Hoyer that reportedly is worth $10.5 million over two years.

Hoyer had been expected to sign since Monday, when Ryan Mallett agreed to re-sign with a two-year, $7 million contract.

The Texans traded No. 4 quarterback Case Keenum to the St. Louis Rams on Tuesday and dealt Fitzpatrick to the Jets, whom Hoyer had been talking with as well.

Hoyer and Mallett, both coached by Bill O’Brien in New England in 2011, are expected to compete for the starting job for O’Brien’s Texans. Mallett beat out Hoyer for the Patriots’ backup job in 2012.

—The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced that they signed linebacker Bruce Carter and released defensive end Michael Johnson.

No details of Carter’s deal were announced, but multiple outlets reported he agreed to a four-year contract.

—The Kansas City Chiefs signed Jeremy Maclin, bringing the wide receiver back to his home state of Missouri and reuniting him with coach Andy Reid.

Maclin’s deal has been reported as worth $55 million over five years, with $22.5 million guaranteed.

Maclin, formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles, will again play under Reid, the Chiefs coach who was formerly the Eagles’ boss.

“This is an awesome opportunity,” Maclin said. “I’m reunited with coach Reid and some of the guys that were on staff in Philadelphia, which is something I never dreamed that could have happened. The fact that I’m in the situation is pretty awesome.”

—Torrey Smith signed a five-year, $40 million deal with the San Francisco 49ers.

Felton will get a four-year deal worth $9.2 million, including $4 million guaranteed, according to Vic Carucci of the Buffalo News.

The release of Chandler opens the door for the Bills to possibly add Miami Dolphins tight end Charles Clay, a transition free agent who has visited Buffalo and could sign an offer sheet.

Chandler, 29, caught 47 passes for 497 yards and three touchdowns last season. He was to make $1.95 million in 2015.

—The Baltimore Ravens reportedly have re-signed backup cornerback Anthony Levine.

Levine, a former undrafted free agent, had been a restricted free agent, but the Ravens chose not to tender him and instead gave him the two-year deal.

— The New York Giants agreed to terms on two-year deals to keep linebacker Mark Herzlich and fullback Henry Hynoski.

Herzlich was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma — a form of bone cancer — and missed the entire 2009 season while at Boston College. He returned to play in 2010 but went undrafted in 2011 and signed with the Giants as a free agent after the draft.

Hynoski’s contract is worth $2 million, according to agent Drew Rosenhaus.

—The Tennessee Titans and wide receiver Harry Douglas have agreed to a contract.

The deal is for three years, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

—The Chicago Bears signed linebacker Pernell McPhee.

The Bears and McPhee, formerly of Baltimore, previously had agreed to a five-year, $40 million deal, including $16 million guaranteed.

McPhee was one of the top outside linebackers available and the Bears, under the direction of first-year coordinator Vic Fangio, plan to transition to a 3-4 scheme as coach John Fox makes over a porous defense.

McPhee, 26, was used as a versatile chess piece in Baltimore. The Ravens used him at outside linebacker and defensive end and even inside at tackle on occasion.

—Right tackle Bryan Bulaga signed his new five-year deal with the Green Bay Packers that is worth at least $6.5 million per season.

The Packers were able to retain their top two free agents — Bulaga and wide receiver Randall Cobb — before free agency officially began on Tuesday.

Cobb’s contract calls for $10 million per season and Bulaga will be paid on par with other top tackles on the market. The Chargers re-signed King Dunlap (four year, $28 million) and the Jacksonville Jaguars gave Jermey Parnell $32.5 million on a five-year deal to leave the Dallas Cowboys.

—Potential No. 1 overall draft pick Jameis Winston reportedly met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell last week.

Peter King of TheMMQB.com reported that Winston requested to see Goodell, flying to New York for the meeting, which lasted five to six hours. According to the report, Winston also met with NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent, and got a primer from league officials about the resources he could use on and off the field once he’s drafted.

“He went out of his way to make a good impression, and to show that he understood what was going to be expected of him in the NFL,” one league executive who participated in one of the series of meetings told King.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who own the No. 1 draft pick on April 30, met with Winston last week.

—Cornerback Cortland Finnegan, perhaps best known for an on-field fight with wide receiver Andre Johnson, announced his retirement Wednesday — and referred to that 2010 altercation in his parting words.

Finnegan, 31, was cut by the Miami Dolphins last week and wrote on Instagram that he has decided to end his NFL career after nine seasons.

His statement (edited): “Spent nine years doing something I loved and it has paid off in so many ways. To say I have been blessed is an understatement. I am forever thankful. I have made my share of mistakes and had moments of glory. I even got into a fight in an NFL game (he hits like a bish). I’m thankful for the friends I made on and off the field love y’all. Time to move on and enjoy new people new places and new ideas. I forgot to thank all the haters. I love y’all to.”

—Tim Tebow won’t be there, but former first-round draft picks Jamaal Anderson, Adam Carriker and Felix Jones will be among those joining Michael Sam at the first NFL Veteran Combine on March 22.

The list of 107 players released by the NFL on Wednesday also includes veteran street free agents such as Michael Bush, Mikel LeShoure and Darron Thomas.

During the Combine at the Arizona Cardinals Practice Facility in Tempe, Ariz., players will be tested and evaluated by NFL scouting personnel. Measurements, results and videos of the workouts will be shared with all 32 NFL teams.

Tebow had been considered a possible participant because he reportedly has been working with independent quarterbacks coach Tom House, who tutors New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, and had shown improved accuracy. But Tebow was not on the list of participants released by the league.

Tebow, a first-round pick by the Denver Broncos in 2010, hasn’t played in the NFL since 2012.

Sam, the first openly gay NFL prospect, was drafted in the seventh round last year by the St. Louis Rams but failed to make their roster. He spent seven weeks on the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad before being released in October.
