While the Eagles don’t have a ton of players on their team whose contracts are expiring, they definitely have some big names on that list. Guys like Jeremy Maclin and Brandon Graham should both get paid this offseason regardless of the team they end up on. It seems most likely that Maclin will re-sign and Graham will go elsewhere, but nothing is final. Here are all of the guys on the roster who have expiring … Continue reading
Nothing exactly concrete happened in the past week, but the rumors of who’s staying and who’s going in Philadelphia have seemed to intensify. In addition to that, many analysts and writers are beginning to point out players in the draft that would be good fits for the Eagles. One of the bigger ongoing pieces of news is that Jeremy Maclin still hasn’t been re-signed, but I still don’t think it’s at the point of concern … Continue reading
It’s not that the Eagles have no salary cap space, but they’re certainly in a situation where they’ll be able to add some more by either reworking some contracts or letting go of some guys completely. It’s always a tough decision to let a long-time veteran go just because he’s too expensive, but sometimes it needs to happen. There have even been talks of the Eagles parting ways with LeSean McCoy because of his high … Continue reading
Now that the Super Bowl is over, the 2014 NFL season has officially concluded. Talks of the combine, free agency, and the draft are already beginning as all 32 teams prepare their offseason plans. The Eagles have a very interesting offseason in front of them as a couple of their best players, Jeremy Maclin and LeSean McCoy, are apparently not locks to return in 2015. Nothing to fret over yet, but it’s interesting. Here are … Continue reading
One thing that almost all fans want to see is a rookie make an immediate impact on a team. It can’t be too hard to find guys who can do that, teams do it all the time. So why does it seem like the Eagles have failed to do that year after year? Well, Andy Reid wasn’t the best guy to make draft selections, but in the end, it’s sometimes very hard to know which … Continue reading
This is the first of many posts I will be doing weekly for the rest of the semester in which I’ll post some links to interesting stories I’ve read this week. There may not be any games going on for them till next year, but a lot has happened in just this last week. In case you’re a bit behind on Eagles news, check out these stories to see what’s happened: 1. Philadelphia Eagles name … Continue reading
The Super Bowl is now less than a week away, meaning the NFL season is almost over. It’s been about a month since the Eagles have played a game and I’ve started to finally get over it. But what better way to celebrate the soon-to-start offseason with a look at who the Eagles will play next season? Some might say it’s too early to start talking about that. But the reality is it’s never too … Continue reading
Marcus Mariota ending up with the Philadelphia Eagles just makes sense, doesn’t it? Chip Kelly recruited him, knew he’d be a great quarterback, and is now an NFL coach the year that Mariota will be a part of the NFL Draft. The Eagles have finished 10-6 in back-to-back seasons, but have failed to win a playoff game since Kelly took over the reins as head coach. Is it time for a desperation move? Yes, selling … Continue reading
After going over the offense and defense, I now move on to the special teams, arguably the best part of the Eagles this past season. Or, at least one can say it’s the most improved. Some people even ranked the Eagles as having the best special teams in the league, an incredible feat for a team that has struggled in that area for some years now. They were talented across the board in all aspects … Continue reading
It’s no secret that the Eagles’ defense hasn’t been feared since the passing of former Defensive Coordinator Jim Johnson. He was one of the best at the job in the league and he has been severely missed. The Eagles have gone through a bunch of different guys, many of whom have stayed for a couple years and then moved on. Surprisingly though, two of them, Sean McDermott and Todd Bowles, have found incredible success as … Continue reading
