Now that the 2017 regular season is over, the conditions of the Eric Rowe have finally been finalized.
The Eagles traded Rowe to the New England Patriots prior to the 2016 season in exchange for a conditional 2018 draft pick. If Rowe played more than 50% of the Patriots’ defensive snaps in either 2016 or 2017, Philadelphia would receive a third-round pick. If Rowe played fewer than 50% of the Patriots’ snaps in both seasons, Philadelphia would receive a fourth-round pick.
In 2016, Rowe only played 43.3% of New England’s defensive snaps.
