PHILADELPHIA – Monday wasn’t supposed to happen. Three years to the day the Eagles shocked the football world by taking Jalen Hurts in the second round of the 2020 draft with a perceived franchise quarterback already in tow, the MVP runner-up took to the dais at the NovaCare Complex as the highest-paid player in the
PHILADELPHIA – Nobody knows. That’s Howie Roseman’s assessment and the NFL’s reigning Executive of the Year gave you a very small peek behind the curtain a week out from the NFL Draft. All those mock drafts you love are for entertainment purposes only. “Nobody has any idea what we’re going to do,” Roseman said during
PHILADELPHIA – It’s Bijan or bust for many around the Delaware Valley when it comes to next week’s draft. For those who know Eagles general manager Howie Roseman, however, the thought process is a bit more substantive. Former Tampa Bay general manager and current SiriusXM NFL radio draft analyst Mark Dominik speculated on Roseman’s plan
The 2023 NFL Draft is quickly approaching and there are plenty of scenarios to be on the outlook for. Whether it is the Lamar Jackson dispute, the imminent Aaron Rodgers trade, or any other scenario, teams are destined to pivot and move around their draft boards accordingly. This year’s prospects are proving to be just
Two Super Bowl appearances in five years with two different coaches and quarterbacks. That’s just a portion of the résumé that landed Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman atop the GM rankings released by NFL Media’s Gregg Rosenthal on Thursday. Already the NFL’s reigning executive of the year the Eagles’ Howie Roseman was lauded again
PHILADELPHIA – The only thing more unlikely than the Eagles drafting Texas running back Bijan Robinson at No. 10 overall is the organization trading for off-ball linebacker Devin White, a former second-team All-Pro who once had a Nick Foles-like defensive run through the postseason en route to Tampa Bay’s Super Bowl LV rout of Kansas
PHILADELPHIA – Turns out Marcus Mariota was a natural fit for the Eagles once you peeled a layer or so off the onion. It doesn’t reach as far back as Brian Johnson’s relationship with Jalen Hurts but the Eagles’ new backup quarterback has his own longstanding relationship with Philadelphia’s new QBs coach Alex Tanney. Tanney,
It’s not if but when the Eagles and star quarterback Jalen Hurts will work out a big-money extension. The key windows for the possible deal this offseason are early June with the first of that month being a big bookkeeping date on the NFL calendar or if it takes a bit of time to put
PHILADELPHIA – While it’s factually correct to say the Eagles brought in All-Pro edge rusher Haason Reddick for his ability to get to the quarterback last year in free agency, it’s also incomplete. The Philadelphia brass also assessed that Reddick’s ability to beat offensive linemen quickly was paramount in a modern NFL where more and
It was eight years later than many people expected but Marcus Mariota is finally an Eagle. Not as the No. 2 overall pick or the face of the franchise but as one of the more accomplished backup quarterbacks in football with the mindset to help Jalen Hurts as much as he can while attempting to
PHILADELPHIA – Turns out Darius Slay is a bit of a trendsetter when it comes to the Eagles. The five-time Pro Bowl cornerback will quickly correct you if you happen to call him by his first name. Slay prefers “Slay” if you’re going to address him and now the veteran has some company with new
The Eagles were very close to losing two defensive veterans this offseason as we’ve reported on BIRDS 365 and now both players have confirmed just how close they were to leaving Philadelphia. Six-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Fletcher Cox got a better money offer from the New York Jets and former Philadelphia VP of player
The offseason theme for Howie Roseman continued Thursday when the Eagles agreed to bring in defensive tackle Kentavius Street on a one-year deal. Originally a fourth-round pick by San Francisco in 2018, Street missed his rookie season with a torn ACL injury suffered during his Pro Day at North Carolina State. Set to turn 27
It wasn’t Jeffrey Lurie’s “gold standard” quote or Howie Roseman’s “quarterback factory” but every once in a while the top of the Eagles’ food chain will say something into an open microphone and quickly regret it, understanding the nature of the market and the fan base. Everything is inspected with a fine-tooth comb and nothing
You never want to hand any player anything in the NFL, especially one who has 44 career snaps under his belt and that seemed to be the sentiment behind Nick Sirianni’s cautious approach with Cam Jurgens this week at the NFL’s annual spring meeting. Drafted at No. 51 overall last April with the intent of
On negotiations with C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who left for Detroit for an underwhelming one-year, $6.5 million deal that could reach $8M with incentives: “At some point, you run out of resources and so we were very clear that at some point we were going to have to go in a different direction. And those first couple
In many ways, the signing of Terrell Edmunds by the Eagles nearly 10 days into free agency seems a little too good to be true. Edmunds’ resume doesn’t match Philadelphia’s other low-risk, high-reward lottery tickets like Rashaad Penny or Justin Evans. Edmunds is a 26-year-old player with five years of starting experience on a good
The Eagles and Lane Johnson agreed to a one-year contract extension that will give the All-Pro right tackle $30 million upfront for significant salary-cap relief. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the deal as $33.445 million overall and technically extends Johnson’s deal from 2025 to 2026. Arguably the best right tackle in the NFL, Johnson, 32, hasn’t
The Eagles are on the radar of two-time All-Pro running back Ezekiel Elliott, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The four-time 1,000-yard rusher was released by Dallas in mid-March due to salary-cap restraints. The No. 4 overall pick in 2016 NFL Draft, Elliott is set to turn 28 in July but already has seven seasons under
The Eagles lost a linebacker in free agency to Chicago so why not take one back? Philadelphia agreed to terms with veteran LB Nicholas Morrow on a one-year contract Tuesday, according to a league source. The team had already lost its 2022 starters at the position — Mike LB T.J. Edwards, who signed a three-year
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
