The curious case of C.J. Gardner-Johnson

You can debate the reasons all you want but the market has spoken for Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, or at least the calendar foreshadows it has. There aren’t too many reasons to surmise Gardner-Johnson is sitting on dueling offers for significant money in free agency. That’s just not how the modern NFL works. Budgets are allocated and

Day 1 doldrums were expected by the Eagles

PHILADELPHIA – The doom and gloomers were out on the first day of the legal negotiation period, the time of year when the NFL gets turned upside down. That was best highlighted in the NFC when the conference’s worst team – the Chicago Bears – were the all-important winners of March 13 and the Eagles

Darius Slay contract wrangling is business as usual in NFL

The year-to-year Jason Kelce retirement talk first started after the 2018 season but the sense of urgency wasn’t nearly as serious as the All-Pro center’s current sentiments when it comes to extending his career each offseason. What was really going on back then was business as usual when it comes to successful veterans in the

PHILADELPHIA – You have to make difficult decisions when you’re an NFL head coach and Nick Sirianni did exactly that when he went outside the organization to name Sean Desai as his new defensive coordinator to replace Jonathan Gannon.

Known for targeting players early when it comes to contract extensions, Howie Roseman was quiet through the 2022-23 season and the Eagles GM explained the reason at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday.
