by Jimmy Kempski

After the Eagles had finally seen enough of Arryn Siposs (way too late), they signed Braden Mann after Week 2 and he turned in a really good season, finishing eighth in punter EPA.

Report: Eagles agree to terms with WR DeVante Parker

by Jimmy Kempski

DeVante Parker, 31, was a Dolphins first-round pick (14th overall) in 2015. He is a big receiver (6'3, 215) with 4.45 speed who is heading into his 10th NFL season. He had one big season in 2019, but has otherwise been disappointing, at least as far as first-round receivers go.

Report: Eagles are signing S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson

by Jimmy Kempski

The Eagles missed Gardner-Johnson in 2023, as they were depleted at times both at safety and at slot corner. In 2022, Gardner-Johnson played both positions for the Eagles at a high level, and he did so with swagger and confidence, which the Eagles' defense was also missing at times last season.

Report: Eagles are signing interior offensive lineman Matt Hennessy

by Jimmy Kempski

The Eagles don't have a backup center (if we're not including Landon Dickerson) so bringing in Matt Hennessy makes sense.

The Eagles — and every other NFL team aside from the Bengals — lost some draft capital

by Jimmy Kempski

The NFL has determined that the Cincinnati Bengals were erroneously deprived of a third-round compensatory pick, and have fixed the error by awarding them the 97th overall pick.

Report: Former Eagles RB D'Andre Swift is signing with the Bears

by Jimmy Kempski

The Eagles traded for D'Andre Swift during the 2023 NFL Draft, and his lone season with the Birds started off hot, when he had 175 rushing yards against the Vikings Week 2 and 130 rushing yards against the Buccaneers Week 3. However, he did not top 100 yards in a game thereafter, and he averaged barely over 4 yards per carry from Week 6 on.
