The Philadelphia Eagles showed their commitment to defensive lineman Brandon Graham this NFL offseason, giving him a three-year, $40 million contract. But whether or not he deserves that deal is a legitimate question. Graham is coming off of a 2018 campaign in which he played all 16 games and registered 39 tackles, four sacks, a […]

On Monday, Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson made it clear he expected all players to be at mandatory minicamp, but it doesn’t look like he is going to get his wish. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported on Tuesday morning that the Eagles are looking to add safety help with Malcolm Jenkins holding out, and he […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are bringing in former Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans safety Johnathan Cyprien for a look, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Of course, that news takes a back seat to the part of Schefter’s tweet that claims there is “no end in sight” to Malcolm Jenkins’ absence from the team, which may very […]

The Philadelphia Eagles continued to get better over the course of the last several seasons before last season’s modest regression. Despite winning the Super Bowl just two seasons ago, the Eagles have continued to add veteran impact players on both sides of the football, with linebacker Zach Brown becoming one of the latest talents to […]

Jordan Howard caught 29 passes for 298 yards during his standout rookie season, when he established himself as one of the NFL’s premier young running backs. His production as both a runner and a pass-catcher decreased over the following two seasons, though, leading to his departure from the Chicago Bears in late March. The Philadelphia […]

As Carson Wentz continues to try and work himself back into football shape after a variety of injuries have slowed him down over the last two years, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson seems to think he’s been playing very good so far. Speaking to reporters on Monday, Pederson couldn’t help but heap praise onto […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have had less than perfect attendance at voluntary workouts this off-season, and coach Doug Pederson has made clear that it must change once mandatory minicamp kicks off. Left tackle Jason Peters, right tackle Lane Johnson, wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, and safety Malcolm Jenkins have all missed voluntary workouts, and that isn’t going […]

Their one full season together with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2004 yielded a Super Bowl berth, but the turmoil Terrell Owens and Donovan McNabb developed has lingered for years afterward. Owens was sent home by the Eagles in the middle of the 2005 season. McNabb recently caused a bit of a stir when he suggested […]

NFL defenses may be trying to find even more ways to try to slow down Zach Ertz in 2019.

According to Ertz himself, he feels the “best he’s ever had in his entire NFL career“. […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have made some notable changes in their receiving corps as of late. Regardless, wide receiver Nelson Agholor expects to maintain his integral role on offense. Agholor saw his target share fluctuate throughout last season. According to Zach Berman of the philly.com, he feels his versatility will keep him on the field no matter […]

The Philadelphia Eagles brought back an old friend this offseason, signing wide receiver DeSean Jackson. Jackson spent the first six seasons of his career with the Eagles from 2008 through 2013, making three Pro Bowl appearances and finishing with over 1,000 yards three times. Since then, Jackson has produced mostly disappointing results, spending five seasons […]

Early in the 2019 off-season, the Jacksonville Jaguars made the quarterback switch most, at that point, expected; swapping Blake Bortles for Nick Foles. By now, you know that story of Foles. But, if you don’t, let’s catch you up (if you do, skip to the third paragraph). In 2012, he was drafted by the Eagles […]

Joe Douglas was one of the first names to be linked to New York Jets general manager vacancy after the firing of Mike Maccagnan.

The Philadelphia Eagles weren’t exactly able to replicate their success this past season, winning just nine games and losing to the New Orleans Saints in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. The Eagles are just two years removed from a Super Bowl championship, but there are a lot of question marks up and down the […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have had a great run of success the past couple of years. They won the Super Bowl two years ago, and they won a playoff game this past season. They’ll mostly be running it back with the same group in 2019, but there have been a few notable subtractions and additions. Nick […]

It was just two seasons ago that Jordan Howard staked his claim as the NFL’s best young running back.

He wasn’t quite as effective as a […]

Rookie running back Miles Sanders has been noticeably absent from on-field workouts during Eagles organized team activities, but it seems he will be making his debut soon. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sanders, who has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, could be on the field as early as today. Sanders has received plenty of hype […]

Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins appears to be holding out for a new contract while not reporting to OTAs this time around.

The Philadelphia Eagles notably selected former Penn State Nittany Lions running back Miles Sanders in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. However, the Eagles have yet to see the soon-to-be rookie on the field atop the NFL level as Sanders continues to sit out of the team’s practices at OTAs. The Eagles have […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are adding to their receiving group. Philly is signing wideout Devin Ross, per Josh Alper of ProFootballTalk.com. To make room for him on the offseason 90-man roster, the team waived guard Johhny Gibson. These moves aren’t too significant and are just your typical early summer roster shuffling. Ross was waived by the […]

Jordan Howard became a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in March. Less than a month later, the franchise drafted Miles Sanders.

The Philadelphia Eagles were fortunate enough to keep their offensive line all intact heading into 2019. Both Jason Peters and Jason Kelce opted to return after flirting with retirement, so the unit should look more or less the same. Another player who will be back is guard Stefen Wisniewski. Wisniewski started at left guard during […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles traded for Jordan Howard it looked like he would be the lead back and going into a contract year that was good news for him.

As the New York Jets continue to look for a new general manager, the team has its fair share of enticing candidates. Not only is the team in disarray, but it is unknown how much power the GM will have. Joe Douglas naturally wants to know more about this part of the front-office situation. Adding […]

The Philadelphia Eagles already boasted one of the best defensive lines in the NFL, led by Fletcher Cox. This offseason, they went and added Malik Jackson and made their defense even scarier.

Nate Sudfeld spent the last two years as the Philadelphia Eagles’ third-string quarterback behind Carson Wentz and Nick Foles. Now, with Foles starting under center for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Sudfeld will take center stage as the Eagles’ primary backup, and if history is any indication, that is a very important role to take on. While […]

It wasn’t long ago when the Philadelphia Eagles’ receiving corps was a negative for the team. Back in Carson Wentz’s rookie season (2016), many viewed his pass-catchers as a catalyst to his mid-season regression. In ’16, his leading pass-catchers (WR’s, TE’s) were; Zach Ertz (816 yards, 4 TD’s, 73.6% catch rate), Jordan Mathews (804, 3, […]

When fully healthy, Alshon Jeffery is one of the most dynamic and talented wide receivers the NFL.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback is a competitor but after suffering injuries each of the last two seasons, he is learning to balance that competitiveness with staying healthy.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz had a standout season last year, catching 116 passes for 1,163 yards and eight touchdowns but even after the impressive year he has a chip on his shoulder.

After the Philadelphia Eagles boasted an underwhelming rushing offense in 2018, paced by undrafted free agent running back Josh Adams with a whopping 511 yards and 3 touchdowns on 120 carries (4.3 yards per carry), the team has experienced a massive remodel of the backfield this off season. With the departure of often injured Jay […]
