Report: Eagles WR Zach Pascal to sign with the Cardinals

by Jimmy Kempski

When the Eagles signed Pascal to a one-year contract last March, the logic made a lot of sense, in that he was a well-regarded blocking wide receiver who could do some of the meat and potatoes stuff that J.J. Arcega-Whiteside did in 2021, but with the ability to actually catch the football when it came his way. And that's essentially what he was for the Eagles, playing a minor role in the Eagles' offense as a pass catcher, making only 15 catches for 150 yards and a TD, but doing a lot of the dirty work that freed up star receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith to make plays.

Report: Eagles to sign safety Justin Evans

by Jimmy Kempski

Evans was a Bucs second-round pick (50th overall) in 2017 out of Texas A&M. He had a productive rookie season in 2017 (in the stat sheet, at least), when he had 66 tackles, 3 INTs, and 6 pass breakups. However, his career has since been derailed by injuries.

Five safeties who make some sense for the Eagles

by Jimmy Kempski

With 2022 starters Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and Marcus Epps leaving in free agency, the Philadelphia Eagles are now thin at safety. If the season began today (it doesn't), their two starting safeties would probably be Reed Blankenship and K'Von Wallace. That would be less than ideal. Here we'll look at the free agent safeties who remain on the market — or who could soon be available — and propose five who make sense for the Eagles.

Report: Eagles OL Isaac Seumalo to sign with the Steelers

by Jimmy Kempski

With Seumalo departing and Jason Kelce announcing that he will continue to play in 2023, look for 2022 second-round pick Cam Jurgens to fill in as the new starter at right guard.

Report: Eagles agree to terms with CB Greedy Williams

by Jimmy Kempski

Williams' career has been slowed by injuries, but he has some intriguing traits. He's 6'2 and he ran a 4.37 40 at the Combine, which is a nice start.

A look at how QB Marcus Mariota will fit within the Eagles' offense

by Jimmy Kempski

With Eagles 2022 backup Gardner Minshew having moved on to Indianapolis to play for the Colts, the Eagles' pairing with Marcus Mariota makes sense, in that he is a running quarterback who can do some of the same things that Jalen Hurts can do with his legs. Should Hurts go down, the Eagles wouldn't have to throw out huge chunks of their playbook, particularly in their RPO attack, like they did with Minshew.
