PHILADELPHIA – Moro Ojomo is used to early starts. The Nigerian native started kindergarten at age 3 before moving to the United States when he was just 7. The sped-up process continued in the United States in California and South Texas, enabling Ojomo to enroll at the University of Texas at age 16. Five years
PHILADELPHIA – We got a quick first look at the Eagles’ rookies, along with a few selected veterans and a host of tryout players on Friday and while you can’t make any grandiose predictions, there were a number of notable things to jot down in the notebook. #Eagles rookie camp roster pic.twitter.com/NvGcLKkefr — John McMullen
PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles made an interesting addition to the roster Thursday, agreeing to terms on a one-year deal with veteran tight end Dan Arnold. Arnold was with Doug Pederson in Jacksonville last season, appearing in all 17 regular-season games as a role player with 169 offensive snaps. He was traded to the Jags from
PHILADELPHIA – The NovaCare Complex has not placed a bid to host the SEC Championship Game but the average Eagles’ practice will have strong ties to the two marquee teams in college football’s toughest conference. And it’s Alabama on offense — DeVonta Smith, Landon Dickerson, and rookie third-round pick Tyler Steen, who started at a
Round 1, Pick 9: Jalen Carter, DL, Georgia The Philadelphia Eagles were fortunate enough to be able to select Jalen Carter with their first selection of the 2023 draft. Several months prior to the ongoing investigation that he was involved in Carter was believed to be the definitive first overall pick going into the draft.
PHILADELPHIA – The quarterback factory’s new spring line includes a throwback. Stanford’s Tanner McKee, the Eagles’ sixth-round pick at No. 188 overall on Saturday, is an old-school, 6-foot-6, 230-pound pocket passer set to arrive on a team with a distinctly new-school offensive approach based on Jalen Hurts’ dual-threat abilities. Too many assume that the Eagles
PHILADELPHIA – Few would have blinked if the Philadelphia Eagles drafted Georgia edge rusher Nolan Smith at No. 10 overall on Thursday night. It took a little longer than that but the Eagles got their fourth Georgia defensive star over the last two years when they pulled the trigger on Smith at No. 30. Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles and Arizona Cardinals agreed to a pre-draft trade tied to tampering allegations involving Jonathan Gannon. The former Philadelphia defensive coordinator was hired as the head coach in Arizona after Super Bowl LVII but the Cardinals were taking to him after the NFC Championship game, a no-no. The two teams agreed on
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
