In the Past few days since the NFL Draft ended, the Howie Roseman and the Eagles have been the busiest team in the league at adding veteran players at key positions of need. With the free agent signing of former eagles killer Ryan Kerrigan, the claiming of former 2nd round running back 2017 Kerryon Johnson off waivers and trading for 2020 4th round cornerback Josiah Scott from the Jaguars, the eagles have addressed almost every area of need with plenty of time to do more before the season starts in September. So in today's podcast we ask the question, is the Eagles roster better than everyone thinks they are? What holes in the roster are still left and what can the eagles do to fill them? Also I touch on the latest rumors around Zach Ertz's potential holdout/release/trade/who knows and some interesting comments made by Jason Kelce that makes it sound as if he's not as close to retirement as we all think.
The 2021 official NFL schedule was released and there's a lot to like about the it if you are an eagles fan! In todays podcast I go over the multiple ways the eagles will benefit from the leagues easiest schedule and how it could easily translate into them completing to win the division this season. I also go over some of the young players and draft picks I expect to play well for the eagles this season on offense and defense in today's episode number 30
Many believe Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles hit a home run on day 1 of the 2021 NFL draft, by jumping ahead of the New York Giants to select Heisman Trophy winner Devante Smith with the 10th overall pick. The second day on the other hand...feels like the exact opposite. As the eagles make the highly questionable decision to select the most injury prone player in the draft in the second round, then are caught on camera on live national television, arguing in the war room directly after making another questionable pick. In today's podcast episode #29 I talk about the eagles front office disfunction and drafting struggles that continues to plague this franchise. Also I go over all of the picks made so far by all of the NFL east teams to find out who is having the best draft so far, and what we can expect from the eagles on day 3, where they have the most picks in the entire NFL draft
The Philadelphia eagles made fire works in the first round of the draft by trading up with the Dallas cowboys to jump in front of the giants and steal the dominant, Heisman winning wide receiver out of Alabama! Howie comes out smelling like a Roseman for reading the board perfectly, maximizing the value of the 6th pick and nailing the 1st round pick to start the draft. I will also preview the best available players for the eagles to pick in round 2 and 3 of todays draft and go over what the other teams in the division did with their drafts so far. Who did the best in round 1? That answer and more in todays episode 28
In todays podcast episode 27, I go over the eagles draft board formula that will predict who they take with their first round pick. Also, just for fun i will take a trip down memory lane, and go over the best and worst draft picks in the eagles draft history of the last 25 years under owner Jeffrey Lurie. Who were the biggest swing and miss busts and who were the biggest steals they found in the late rounds? Plus the latest draft rumors. Eagles trading back up, Zach Ertz traded by the end of the draft and more...
Lets get ready for the NFL draft! In this episode I will be ranking the eagles position groups from worst to first to find their biggest needs heading into the NFL draft. Plus I will go over what players might be available round to round to fill those needs based on the eagles draft history and team building philosophy under GM Howie Roseman and Owner Jeffrey Lurie. Will they draft based on need or will they draft based on the positions thier history shows they value most?
The eagles signed Eric Wilson, a 26 year old middle linebacker from Minnesota who lead all NFL linebackers in interceptions last year, to a 1 year deal worth 3.25 mil. They also resigned Jordan Howard to a 1 year deal as well, so what do these signings mean for the eagles plans for these 2 positions in the draft? Also in this episode I continue my mock draft series, as we explore the possibilities of what positions the eagles will be looking at with their second and third rounds selections of the upcoming NFL draft.
In this podcast I reflect on the eagles shocking trade from 6th to 12th in this years NFL draft and go over several scenarios on how the next 2 drafts will play out now that the eagles have the most draft capital in NFL. I also go over the eagles draft history under Howie Roseman and Jeffrey Lurie and how those results predict what positions the Eagles will probably take in the 1st and 2nd rounds in this year's NFL draft. Warning, 99% of eagles fans will not be happy about it, but you should probably prepare yourself to be disappointed ASAP!
I called it! In a move that I have been calling for for weeks, the Philadelphia Eagles have traded back to the 12th pick, setting them up to possibly have 3 first round picks in next years draft! This move also says load and clear that the eagles are not drafting a QB with their first pick and that Jalen Hurts is the number 1 QB for at least this season. Plus, I go over the eagles draft history of the last 25 years under owner Jeffery Lurie to predict what position the eagles will now draft at number 12!
Washington and the Giants have been making big moves in free agency, are they setting themselves up to run compete for the NFC east title for years to come and are the Eagles and Cowboys falling way behind? Also which NFC east teams are in the best position to win the division next year and which teams are in the best position for long term success? That and more in this NFC east free agency recap episode 23
The Eagles just got one hell of a bargain by signing the #1 rated safety from pro football focus, on a cheap 1 year deal worth only 5 million dollars!

I will go over all the latest eagles rumors about free agents and the draft in todays episode number 22
NFL free agency is underway and the Philadelphia Eagles have been very quite so far, in fact they still aren't even under the salary cap yet. What moves have been made to get under and what moves are still to come? Also the Washington football team signed a new starting quarterback in veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick, should the eagles and the rest of the NFC east be worried now that they have a competent starting QB? Also, the Philadelphia Eagles had a heavy presence at Trey Lance's Pro Day with multiple coaches and front office executives attending, is Quarterback a strong possibility at the number 6 pick despite reports that the owner want to build around Jalen Hurts? Teams are known to put out a lot of smoke screens before the draft and actions speak louder than words
In this podcast I go over the recent trade rumors surrounding pro bowlers Brandon Brooks, Zach Ertz and other Eagles players. The Eagles still have to clear over 32 million dollars of cap space before the start of the new league year next week, will they make it in time or will they be forced to cut or trade several key veterans to get under the salary cap before the deadline? I also give an in depth analysis of the cowboys new salary cap situation now that they resigned Dak Prescott to a massive contract of 4 years for 160 million dollars! Was it a good deal for them, or will Dak's heavy new contract hold them back from improving the roster in free agency for years to come?
The Philadelphia Eagles are already making big salary cap related moves prior to the start of free agency and new league year. What key veterans are restructuring their contracts and how much money will they free up before the start of free agency? Plus, with a little of a week from the start of the legal tampering period for free agents, we will take a look at all 4 NFC east teams roster needs and salary cap situations to see which team is in the best position to fill their roster needs and be in position to win the division in 2021
The Eagles Don't have any cap space...yet. But they will and free agency starts soon, so what under the radar players could the eagles be targeting that can immediately improve their team and their chances of winning the NFC east in the 2021 season. Plus, with the franchise cap deadline is coming soon as well, will the cowboys use it on Dak Prescott or will they have to start over and draft a new QB with their first round pick and what does that mean for the eagles future? I also go over some thoughts on the NFL draft and the Eagles might do with the number 6 pick to Support Jalen Hurts.
Now that Carson Wentz has been traded, are the Philadelphia Eagles in a full blown rebuild? Alshon Jeffery and Desean Jackson have officially annouced they have been released and more big name veterans are sure to come as the Eagles are try to get under the salary cap before the deadline. Plus, what young players do the Eagles currently have, that they can build around, and how soon will they be able to compete for the division title again?
Just 5 years after the Philadelphia Eagles traded multiple players, draft picks, 2 first round draft picks and gave Carson Wentz a then league record 108 million dollar guaranteed contract, the eagles today have "traded" Carson Wentz for some loose change Frank Reich found under his sofa seat. Did the Eagles the eagles get a good enough return? What do the eagles do now in free agency and the draft to try and rebuild this team? Plus what big veteran names will be going next, now that the Eagles are in an even worse cap situation after the Wentz trade? Brandon Graham? Fletcher Cox? Jason KeIce? Zach Ertz? Today I will go over all the latest offseason rumors and more in podcast episode #16
With the season done and the offseason just getting started, this is the perfect opportunity to look back at the lessons Super Bowl LV taught us all about what it takes to build a Super Bowl winning franchise in todays NFL. Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles have a tall task in front of them to do so, saddled with the worst cap situation in the league and not a lot of resources at his disposal to fix it. But they do have the number 6 pick in the draft and the potential to add more with a potential Carson Wentz trade to add some draft capital, potential cap relief and other assets and players. So how does Howie build another champion in Philly? He has done it before but can he do it again in 2021 and beyond?
"You want Philly, Philly?" 2.0? the latest trade rumor about Carson Wentz is oddly too specific to be just the average rumor. As NFL insiders are all together stating that a Wentz trade out of Philly can happen at any moment. In this podcast I break the proposed trade that will send Carson Wentz and more to the Chicago Bears for Nick Foles and more back to Philly! Plus my Reaction to Super Bowl LV results and what this means for Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes Legacies. Is Tom Brady the greatest athlete in sports history? It's getting hard to argue anything else
The first domino of the major off-season young star QB carousel has fallen, Matt Stafford to the Rams, Jared Goff and 2 1st round picks to the Lions. What does this mean for Carson Wentz's potential trade value. Plus the new quarterback coach signings of the eagles and colts might spell out who the future starters are for both teams. Does the eagles hiring Brian Johnson, someone with a long history with Jalen Hurts, mean the eagles are moving forward with him as the starting QB? Does the Colts hiring Carson Wentz's BFF and long time QB coach Press Taylor mean they are setting up a potential reunion with Carson and Frank Reich via a trade for Carson Wentz?
