After a very good first day of free agency, the Eagles got right back to work. They made what was possibly the very first NFL transaction of the day by signing former Seahawks S Chris Maragos and then later signed former Texans LB Bryan Braman. Both of these guys will be nice depth players and will contribute greatly on special teams. Very early this morning, the Eagles agreed to sign Maragos to a 3 year, … Continue reading
It wasn’t a groundbreaking or jaw-dropping first day of free agency, but sometimes that’s a good thing. The Eagles went into the day with a plan, and they came out of it with some solid moves. The most noteworthy was the signing of former Saints S Malcolm Jenkins, which fills a massive hole at the safety position. They also decided to re-sign P Donnie Jones and release S Patrick Chung, moves that actually came before … Continue reading
It’s been the talk for the past couple months that the Eagles need a starting-caliber safety, and this free agency could be the perfect time to fill that need. Whether they’re going to go after a top guy at the position such as Jairus Byrd or T.J. Ward remains to be 100% confirmed, but they have said that they don’t want to spend a ton at the position, which theoretically rules out those two guys. … Continue reading
Eagles GM Howie Roseman has been quite busy this offseason, and free agency hasn’t even begun. With just a week now to go until free agents officially hit the market, he’s been able to lock up a lot of their important players. This is key because it prevents these players from even having an opportunity to get offers from other teams. DE Cedric Thornton was a big re-signing because of how well he played, and … Continue reading
The Eagles have made it a point recently to identify who on their roster is sticking around and who is no longer in their plans for the future. While they’ve mainly been focusing on the first of those, the moves they make hint at who they’re no longer interested in keeping around, whether it be for salary issues or because they don’t fit into the system. Now that they’ve re-signed Jeremy Maclin, Riley Cooper, Jason … Continue reading
The Eagles made the right decisions this past week in locking up some players for the future. It wasn’t a guarantee that the Eagles would be able to re-sign both Riley Cooper and Jeremy Maclin because of cap space, but they managed to do it. In addition, the Eagles locked up C Jason Kelce and T Jason Peters to long-term deals to keep their stud offensive line in Philadelphia. These moves are the first of … Continue reading
Sure, the Sixers are pretty terrible, but just how bad are they? Well, for one thing they just lost by 20 points to the team with the worst record in the league, so that’s a good start. They’ve had back-to-back games where they’ve let their opponent shoot over 57% from the field. And their winning streak has stretched to 11 games, the longest since 2009. This is pretty much the lowest the Sixers could get, … Continue reading
Anybody who’s honestly surprised at the trading of Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes just doesn’t understand GM Sam Hinkie. They were sitting in a small stage above mediocrity and were not a part of the future of their franchise. While the stats for those guys might look good at times, it’s mainly a product of their large amount of minutes they play each game, not their actual skill. They’re two of the most inconsistent players … Continue reading
That was one of the most embarrassing games in the history of the Philadelphia 76ers. It’s normal to see them down 10 points by the end of the first quarter, but the gap was far larger than that after the Clippers exploded for 46 points in the first quarter, putting them up by 31. A 31 point lead after 12 minutes of basketball?? What the heck are the Sixers doing? The Clippers may be a … Continue reading
S Colt Anderson I’ve liked Anderson’s work as a fill-in safety and on special teams, but he’s been identified as part of the terrible safety group that the Eagles have and has a chance of being let go too. He also made $1 million last year, which is way more than his actual value. And despite being the special teams captain, he only had 11 tackles on the year; that can easily be replaced. Anderson … Continue reading
