The Philadelphia Eagles have been one of the bigger spenders in free agency over the past three years, ranking tied for 16th in the NFL in total signings but seventh in total contract value. Here’s a look at how those decisions have panned out on the field:

Total signings: 28* (tied for 16th in the NFL)

Total contract value: $276,890,000 (seventh in the NFL)

Three-year W-L: 24-24

Biggest hit: Safety Malcolm Jenkins. Jairus Byrd was the big-name free-agent safety in 2014, but the Eagles valued Jenkins higher and made him their top priority. Good decision. Not only has Jenkins outperformed Byrd, who is expected to be released by the Saints in the coming days, but he has established himself as one of the top safeties in the game while becoming a key leader in the Eagles’ locker room.

Biggest miss: DeMarco Murray. When Frank Gore changed his mind and decided to sign with the Indianapolis Colts over the Eagles in 2015, Chip Kelly took a big swing and inked Murray to a five-year, $40 million contract with $21 million guaranteed. Talk about oil and water. Murray never felt comfortable in Philadelphia and withdrew further when it became clear that Kelly would not design the offense to fit his skill set. The Byron Maxwell signing (six years, $63 million) was no prize, but at least he had his moments during his one year in Philly. Murray (3.6 yards per carry) essentially had a lost season before regaining his form in Tennessee.

Sneaky-good move: Kelly was a big proponent of special teams and invested in the area by signing Chris Maragos (three years, $4 million) and Bryan Braman (two years, $2.7 million) to free-agent contracts in 2014. Guided by coach Dave Fipp, the special teams units have consistently been near the top of the league in the years since.

Verdict: The Eagles did well to shore up the safety position by signing Jenkins and Rodney McLeod, and have a few other decent hits as well, including guard Brandon Brooks and linebacker Nigel Bradham (minus his brushes with the law). Attempts to improve the cornerback, receiver and running back positions through free agency have largely fallen flat, however. No coincidence, that happens to be three of the Eagles’ biggest needs at the moment. Overall, there have been more misses than hits, and the team has no playoff appearances to show for all the money spent.
