In the end, it was one productive season for C.J. Gardner-Johnson and the Eagles. The brash defensive back agreed to terms with Detroit on Sunday night in the form of a one-year deal that could reach as high as $8 million, a far cry from the franchise tag of $14.46M many speculated the Eagles could
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
The Eagles got ‘Greedy’ on Thursday night/early Friday morning and got the deal done. In fact, they got multiple ones completed, starting with the official stop-and-start agreement with Darius Slay that gave the veteran Pro Bowl cornerback $23 million in guarantees in return for some significant 2023 cap relief. The details of Slay’s new deal

Jalen Hurts’ former backup is signing a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Colts, according to an NFL source.

The Philadelphia core four is officially back with the final domino falling Wednesday when veteran defensive tackle Fletcher Cox re-signed a one-year deal with the Eagles for $10 million, the second straight season the four-time All-Pro has taken a bit of a financial haircut to stay with the only professional organization he’s ever known.

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
TUESDAY: 5:30 p.m. For months now the thought was that the Eagles would be unable to keep All-Pro CB James Bradberry and the opposite turned out to be true as the veteran cashed in big off a career-best season with a three-year deal worth $38 million with $20M of that guaranteed. The deal could reach
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.

The Eagles will not use the franchise tag for the 15th consecutive year. Tuesday’s NFL deadline for placing the franchise or transition tags on pending free agents passed without Philadelphia using either designation despite having a host of marquee free agents like safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, and cornerback James Bradberry. The Eagles
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. When he did so Sirianni understood he would be bypassing well-regarded secondary coach Dennard Wilson, who
Eagles receiver Zach Pascal was robbed at gunpoint early Friday morning outside his home in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

The
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. Philadelphia was simply too good and the leverage wasn’t there for the organization with so many players having career years. “Obviously we
The worst-kept secret in Philadelphia was unveiled Tuesday when Brian Johnson was elevated to offensive coordinator by the Eagles. Johnson, the team’s quarterbacks coach for the past two years, replaces Shane Steichen, who left to become the head coach in Indianapolis. The news was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Eagles are promoting their QB

The organization has narrowed things down to the finalists — believed to be Seattle associate head coach Sean Desai and in-house candidate Dennard Wilson — and will presumably be making a decision shortly with the NFL Scouting Combine set to begin Tuesday in Indianapolis.
The Eagles have a lot of decisions to make when it comes to in-house business with the new league year looming on March 15, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. When it comes to the interior of the defensive line — a documented strength — GM Howie Roseman must make decisions on Javon
