As the doldrums of the NFL offseason begin to sink in, the top remaining free agents start to get desperate. Such has been the case for former all-pro defensive end, Jadeveon Clowney. Originally seeking a deal worth $20M per season, Clowney hasn’t garnered much interest in free agency. He’s reportedly lowered his asking price to […]
The Eagles went into the 2020 offseason with a clear need a wide receiver. They failed to address the issue in free agency and avoided trades for star players, like DeAndre Hopkins, in order to maintain draft capital. It was clear the Eagles planned on fixing their biggest area of need exclusively through the draft; […]
The 2020 NFL draft started off like a dream scenario for the Eagles. Quaterbacks came off the board early, pushing tackles further down the board, which pushed wide receiver even further down the board. WR3, Henry Ruggs went first to the Las Vegas Raiders at pick #11, setting things up perfectly for the Eagles to […]
Since winning the Super Bowl in 2018, the Eagles have selected ten players in the NFL draft, the fewest in all of football. They went into last season as the second oldest team in football, which didn’t seem too concerning since they were widely seen as a Super Bowl contender. Eagles fans quickly realized though, […]
The NFL draft is one of my favorite events of the entire year. Honestly, I might enjoy it even more than the actual season. There’s something about every prospect essentially being a complete unknown and some picks feeling like Super Bowl victories in their own way. A team can go from bottom feeder to perennial […]
I love the week after the NFL draft. The entire league is a buzz. Everyone has a post-coital glow with the hope of what their draft picks could eventually become. Overall, the Eagles had a pretty ok draft. Nothing spectacular, but definitely not bad. They got some good value out of their three picks in […]
Happy draft day to one and all! Today is most magical day of the football calendar year and the anticipation in Philadelphia is palpable! Well, not really. It’s more or less tepid at best. But I’m pretty jazzed about it!! Part of me can’t help but think about how good the Eagles pick might’ve been […]
Paying college athletes is a topic that has been argued everywhere from Sports Center to the New Yorker. It has become one of the most polarizing topics in the world of sports and will continue to be that way as long as student athletes receive payments under the table. College athletics are a billion-dollar industry. […]
It’s time to let the dream die. Over the past few days, there’s been a growing sense that the Phillies would prefer to sign Bryce Harper over Manny Machado in hopes of eventually pairing him with Mike Trout. The idea of a Harper-Trout outfield is enough to have me drowning in my own drool, but […]
The wait is over! Bryce Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies have finally come to terms on a deal! This news comes directly from a third party who worked closely on the deal. Now, this third party may be difficult to find information on, but that’s only because they are apart of an up-and-coming sports agency […]
