Howie Roseman confirms that the Eagles will likely be spenders in 2020 free agency

by Jimmy Kempski

The Philadelphia Eagles are highly likely to be spenders in free agency this offseason. That is something we kinda-sorta already assumed, given that the Birds have $40-plus million in cap space and holes at wide receiver, cornerback, linebacker, and maybe-soon-to-be safety, but Howie Roseman essentially confirmed on Tuesday at the NFL Combine that the Eagles will be opening their metaphorical wallet.

by Jimmy Kempski

Throughout the season, we'll be posting press box food spread rankings for each of the Philadelphia Eagles' road games. This is probably of no interest to you if you're a sane human being, and, well, I don't care. I'm doing this anyway.

Eagles keep the door open for potential return of Jason Peters

by Jimmy Kempski

In the 2019 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles traded up three spots in the first round, from pick No. 25 to pick No. 22, costing them fourth- and sixth-round picks in the process, to select Jason Peters' eventual successor in Andre Dillard. It was a steep price to pay for a player who was only going to play as a rookie if Peters got hurt. Of course, the easy assumption to make was that Dillard would serve as Peters' understudy for a year, before becoming the full-time starter in 2020 and beyond. Or, uh, maybe not?

by Jimmy Kempski

The 2020 NFL Combine will kick off this week, and the obvious position of interest, both locally and nationally, will be at wide receiver. In Philadelphia, the wide receivers will be the primary focus because of the Eagles' obvious need for them.

by Jimmy Kempski

On Friday, NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah held a conference call previewing the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine. In case you're unaware, Jeremiah was a former scout of the Philadelphia Eagles once upon a time, and the Eagles were even once interested in hiring Jeremiah to the position that was eventually taken by Joe Douglas.
