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, […]
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 […]
I swear Dan Snyder has a personal vendetta to make sure the Redskins are perpetual assholes. News broke today that the Redskins have claimed former 49ers linebacker Rueban Foster off waivers. While Foster is arguably the best young linebacker in football, he’s a terrible human being. Foster was released by the Niners two days ago […]
Happy NFL Trade Deadline, everybody! Im sure as most of you are well aware, the Eagles have shipped a third round pick off to Detroit in exchange for wide receiver Golden Tate. Among all wide receivers, Tate is 16th in receptions (44), 21st in receiving yards (517), and 27th in touchdowns (3). To put his […]
Last Thursday, we were blessed not only with an Eagles win, but also with a redux of one of their most iconic plays in franchise history. Half way through the third quarter, before a crucial third and five in Atlanta territory, Nick Foles met with Doug Pederson on the sideline to strategize their next play. […]
The Kentucky Derby. The Running of the Bulls. The Tour de France. These are just some of the global spectacles that come close to matching the sense of wonder instilled in the common sportsman as that of the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Jets annual preseason bout. Born in 2001, this 17-year preseason rivalry […]
