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.

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 […]

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. The Philadelphia Eagles tight end had a phenomenal 2018 season but is projected to have another impressive campaign this year. 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. This weekend, the Eagles vice president of personnel will get his chance to make an impression, according to Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports. He is currently one of five candidates the […]

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. As a rookie in 2016, the former fifth-round pick rushed for 1,313 yards and six touchdowns on 252 rushes, good for a league-leading average of 5.2 yards per carry. He wasn’t quite as effective as a […]

DeSean Jackson is back for his second run with the Philadelphia Eagles, and during his time he has two main goals, win football games and help the young guys. Earlier in his career, Jackson wanted to be a star on the team and cared a lot about his individual stats, and sometimes he made that […]

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. However, Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz knows that he can still count on the veteran defensive back when push ultimately comes to shove. “[He’s] one of our most experienced players and biggest leaders,” […]

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 […]

The former Philadelphia Eagles superstar has been eligible for Canton in each of the last three seasons, and is more adamant than ever he deserves to be enshrined among other football […]

Jordan Howard became a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in March. Less than a month later, the franchise drafted Miles Sanders. Howard is in the final year of his contract and now he now faces plenty of competition in Philly’s backfield with the standout rookie from Penn State, as well as a host of other […]

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.

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, […]

A large number of people have lofty expectations for the Philadelphia Eagles going into 2019. Wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is certainly part of the reason why. Jeffery is coming off one of the best seasons of his career in 2018, when he hauled in 65 receptions for 843 yards and six touchdowns while posting a […]

When fully healthy, Alshon Jeffery is one of the most dynamic and talented wide receivers the NFL. Unfortunately, a variety of injuries to both himself and the quarterbacks of the Philadelphia Eagles have kept him from ever truly breaking out. According to projections from ESPN’s fantasy football site, we can expect more of the same […]
