One of the most interesting parts of the offseason is watching Eagles general manager Howie Roseman figure out a way to work around the rules of the NFL salary cap to build a roster of 53 players. Now that the Super Bowl is over, teams will begin to make moves to clear salary cap space to prepare for free agency. The Eagles are going to have to make a few moves to get under the … Continue reading
The preseason has finally come to an end. Man, those last two games were painful. Luckily, talking about who will make the 53-man roster is much more fun. Here’s my final prediction for the Eagles main roster ahead of Saturday’s 4 p.m. deadline to cut down to 53 players. If you’d like to compare, my roster prediction from August 22 can be viewed here.

Alright, whenever I read these articles I skip right over the introduction, so I’m just going to jump into the predictions. Quarterback In: Carson Wentz, Nick Foles, Nate Sudfeld Out: Joe Callahan, … Continue reading
It’s been three months since I made my last Eagles roster prediction, so it’s about time I updated it. They’re more than halfway through the preseason with their fourth game coming up in a couple days. Here is a position-by-position breakdown of who I think will make the team and who won’t: Quarterback In: Sam Bradford, Chase Daniel, Carson Wentz Out: McLeod Bethel-Thompson This is the same at last time and it’ll always remain this way, … Continue reading
Predicting who is going to make an NFL team’s roster in May is stupid right? Of course it is. But that doesn’t mean it’s not fun. A whole lot is going to change between now and September when the Eagles take the field against the Browns in Week 1, but here’s my initial roster prediction based on what I think will happen: Quarterback In: Sam Bradford, Chase Daniel, Carson Wentz Out: McLeod Bethel-Thompson Even though … Continue reading
Obviously it’s way too early to know exactly who’s going to make the Eagles 53-man roster, but it’s fun to predict and debate, so I’m making my own prediction as to who I think is going to make it. I will break it down by position and list each guy who makes it and who is left out, as well as explanations for each position group. Here’s what I came up with: Quarterback Keep: Sam … Continue reading
Now that the Eagles have finished their three-day minicamp, they get six weeks off before training camp starts on August 2. It wasn’t exactly a grueling trio of practices, but it was enough to get a good look at what some of the players can bring to the table.

Today was the first day of Eagles mandatory minicamp, and the biggest news is that Evan Mathis is not there since he’s been released. But moving past that, as expected, some new faces were seen with the first team in various drills, suggesting that Chip Kelly is willing to mix it up to allow people to compete.
