The Philadelphia Eagles have made a specific effort to bolster the secondary this offseason. Philadelphia started the 2023 season in a great way and was 10-1 through its first 11 games. Things completely changed and the Eagles struggled down the stretch and were upset by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the postseason. The Eagles entered the offseason with a clear need at cornerback and landed the top two prospects in the 2024 National Football League Draft class. Philadelphia's cornerback room was seen as a weakness and now it's a strength for the franchise. Although the Eagles landed the top two ..read more

PHILADELPHIA - The Eagles’ defense was a disaster last season with dueling defensive minds in Sean Desai and Matt Patricia leading an undisciplined unit where the bottom dropped out. The raw numbers were dismal: 26th overall and even worse in pass defense (No. 31), points per game (No. 30), third-down defense (No. 31), and red-zone defense (No. 30). There were issues at all three levels but perhaps the most glaring was at cornerback where veteran James Bradberry had a steep regression from his 2022 second-team All-Pro season and the slot became a revolving door of horrors after Avonte Maddox w ..read more

One former member of the Philadelphia Eagles is on the the move. Philadelphia certainly will look different at running back next season. The Eagles had D'Andre Swift, Kenneth Gainwell, Boston Scott, and Rashaad Penny on the roster last season. Now, only Gainwell remains with Philadelphia. The Eagles reloaded the position this offseason and signed two-time Pro Bowl Select Saquon Barkley in free agency from the New York Giants to the surprise of many. Swift was great last season but signed with the Chicago Bears early this offseason. Scott recently signed with the Los Angeles Rams, and now Penny ..read more

Eagles May Have Finally Found A Manufactured-Touch Option

PHILADELPHIA - The Eagles have had difficulty finding manufactured-touch players over recent seasons. That worm may have turned on Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft when Philadelphia selected Texas A&M slot receiver Ainias Smith. A 5-foot-9, 190-pound playmaking machine Smith is electric with the football in his hands and can win with suddenness from the slot. His draft process was hampered by a stress fracture discovered in his left shin by doctors during the scouting combine’s medical evaluations in early March, and a 4.55 40-yard dash at the Aggies’ pro day doesn’t accurately highlight the fi ..read more

Ex-Bills Pro Bowl Select Could Be Intriguing Free Agent Option For Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles have had a great offseason but adding a little more depth wouldn't hurt. Philadelphia has made a specific effort to bolster its defense this offseason and did so in a major way through the 2024 National Football League Draft by selecting top cornerback prospects Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. While this is the case, the Eagles could still use a little more depth on the defensive end. The Eagles are among the top Super Bowl contenders for next season and there are some free agents available who could help. One player who could make some sense is former Buffalo Bills ..read more

Philadelphia Eagles fans certainly should be excited about the team heading into the 2024 season. The Eagles are loaded with talent and should be able to make a deep playoff run next season unless something extremely surprising happens. Philadelphia has spent the offseason reloading the roster after a disastrous end to the 2023 season. Philadelphia's biggest addition certainly was running back Saquon Barkley but he isn't the only intriguing addition. The Eagles have made a handful of additions in free agency and also had a great draft class. Philadelphia even has found some success with undraf ..read more

Philadelphia Eagles fans certainly should be excited about the team right now. The Eagles struggled down the stretch last season, but Philadelphia's roster still is loaded with talent. The Eagles have one of the best rosters on paper and have gotten even better this offseason. Philadelphia's biggest addition of the offseason certainly was star running back Saquon Barkley, but the Eagles have been busy elsewhere as well. Philadelphia had a great draft and surprisingly landed the top two cornerback prospects in Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. The Eagles needed some help in the secondary and ..read more

Eagles' Rookie Meets Legend For the First Time

PHILADELPHIA - According to Eagles’ GM Howie Roseman, eyes lit up Thursday at the NovaCare Complex when six-time All-Pro center and future Hall of Famer Jason Kelce stopped by the weight room to meet Day 3 rookie offensive linemen Trevor Keegan and Dylan McMahon. The connection with McMahon is especially interesting because Kelce entered the NFL as an athletic sixth-round, undersized longshot to everyone but then-offensive line coach Howard Mudd in 2011. Fast forward to April of 2024 and Kelce is the retired Eagles’ legend with the GPS programmed for Canton as McMahon arrives as the athletic ..read more

There still is some serious talent available in free agency right now. Some of the top free agents already have signed but there are plenty of players still out there looking for their next opportunity. The Philadelphia Eagles already have made some intriguing additions -- including star running back Saquon Barkley and former New York Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton -- but more could be on the way. The Eagles also made some intriguing additions through the 2024 National Football League Draft and should already have a significantly improved defense. Philadelphia still has some holes to fill ..read more

'Unusual' Rookie Catches the Eagles' Eye

PHILADELPHIA – Johnny Wilson stepped into the NovaCare Complex Auditorium on Friday, looking like anything but a wide receiver. At 6-foot-6 and 231 pounds, an NFL observer might see a flex tight end in Wilson or even a developmental edge rusher needing to put on a few pounds. Heck, the Eagles' sixth-round pick out of Florida State could have even grabbed a rebound or two to help the Philadelphia 76ers avoid elimination in the NBA playoffs on Thursday night. But an NFL wide receiver? The Eagles believe so and emphasized that Wilson will start at WR despite other NFL teams scouting him to move i ..read more
