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
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
Eagles backup quarterback Gardner Minshew is taking the RV on a road trip, following Shane Steichen out to Indianapolis. Jalen Hurts’ former backup is signing a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Colts, according to an NFL source. Minshew got less money than other backup options like Washington’s Jacoby Brissett ($8 million), Atlanta’s Taylor Heinicke
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. Cox,
The Eagles had a productive Day 2 of the legal negotiating period in free agency, confirming a $14.25 million deal with star center Jason Kelce while bringing back All-Pro cornerback James Bradberry and backup running back/kick returner Boston Scott. The team also went outside the organization and agreed to terms with explosive but oft-injured running
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. What was really going on back then was business as usual when it comes to successful veterans in the
The longest-tenured athlete in Philadelphia will be playing a 14th season with the Eagles. Brandon Graham confirmed to ESPN that he will be signing a one-year deal worth up to $6 million for the 2023 campaign. “I definitely don’t want to miss out on this championship that we’re about to make a run for,” Graham
The Eagles have given Darius Slay permission to find a trade partner, according to a report from ESPN on Friday. The Philadelphia Eagles have allowed Darius Slay's agent Drew Rosenhaus to seek a trade, per sources. The Eagles are still hopeful to find a solution where Slay remains an Eagle. — Dianna Russini 🏈 (@diannaESPN)
The Eagles have their new linebackers coach and the organization didn’t have to go far to find him. D.J. Eliot, who had been the defensive coordinator/outside linebackers coach at Temple University, will jump to the professional ranks for the first time in his coaching career by making the short trip down Broad Street from North
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
