Last Tuesday, Sports Illustrated magazine ran a story of the fear that lives inside NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. There is the thought, and I’m sure it has crossed a player’s mind that because of the nature of the game they play and love, there is the very present reality of a fatality on the football [...]

According to Geoff Mosher of CSNPhilly.com, the Eagles are interested signing St. Louis Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola. He’s a diminutive, quick as a cat, slot receiver in the mold of New England’s Wes Welker. The former Eagles wide out is 27 years old and has been in St. Louis for four years.  He has had [...]

Right now, there’s a decent chance that the Eagles will select an offensive tackle in the first round, but that could change if they’re able to sign former Kansas City offensive tackle Eric Winston, whom the Chiefs released on Wednesday.  The move was reportedly done to save cap money because releasing Winston will take $6.5 [...]

The Eagles have some serious needs at the safety position and they’re likely to try to address them in free agency.  Howie Roseman has admitted that the Eagles have trouble drafting safeties and have made mistakes in drafting players at the position. “To me, that’s the hardest position to evaluate in college football is safeties,” Roseman [...]

NFL free agency will be starting next week.  The Eagles will be looking for a young cornerback or two, who have size and the ability to cover man-to-man as well as the willingness and skill needed to come up and tackle in the open field. They already have a talented young undersized cornerback on the roster, [...]

The Eagles aren’t going to be doing anything major on the free agent market this offseason, but I could see them making a subtle move at the tight end position. They can’t be thrilled about the production they got from their tight ends in 2012. Eagles starting tight end Brent Celek had an off year in [...]

As for this Sunday’s Super Bowl, I’m awed by the talent on the San Francisco 49ers roster on both the offensive side and the defensive side.   They are clearly the most talented football team in the NFL.  You’ve got to give their front office a lot of credit for amassing so much talent. Still having [...]

I know Eagles new head coach Chip Kelly had to be sitting somewhere staring at 49ers young quarterback Colin Kaepernick imagining him on the Eagles roster.  I’m sure Kelly would love to have that young man running his uptempo, read option offense for the Eagles in the upcoming year.   Unfortunately, the young man isn’t likely [...]

It’s been a very busy day in the NFL as the Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers and Atlanta Falcons get ready for the AFC and NFC Championship games. The “almost Eagles head coach” Gus Bradley was introduced to city of Jacksonville today and this guy is very impressive.  He’s definitely charismatic.  Bradley was [...]
