Five NFL Combine 'losers' who could interest the Eagles in the 2018 NFL Draft: Offense edition

by Jimmy Kempski

If you check out the Philadelphia Eagles' haul in the 2017 NFL Draft, you'll find that none of the Birds' selections fared particularly well at the NFL Combine. First round pick Derek Barnett, for example, was not a favorite among some fans for his lack of elite athletic measurables.

Report: Eagles to release DE Vinny Curry (or not)

by Jimmy Kempski

By releasing Vinny Curry now, the Eagles will save $5,000,000, but will also take a cap hit of $6,000,000 in dead money. That's a tough pill to swallow, but a necessary one.

Eagles will have to get under the salary cap without the benefit of trades

by Jimmy Kempski

One logical way for the Eagles to help themselves get under the salary cap would be via trades that help save cap space. For example, a trade of Nick Foles would save the team $5.2 million against the cap. A trade of Vinny Curry, again just for example, would save $5 million. Unfortunately for the Eagles, agreed upon trades made prior to the start of the new league year cannot be executed until the new league year begins. According to league rules, every team must be below the cap by the new league year, sans the cap relief achieved by trades.

Five potential trade destinations for Nick Foles

by Jimmy Kempski

One of the takeaways from the first day at the 2018 NFL Combine after listening to Howie Roseman and Doug Pederson is that the Philadelphia Eagles seem to be open for business if teams were to offer trade proposals for Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles.

by Jimmy Kempski

Staley will continue to coach the running backs like he always has, but Pederson will include him more in the weekly game planning going forward, and as a voice who can address the entire team when necessary.

If the Eagles trade Nick Foles, is Nate Sudfeld ready to be the No. 2 QB?

by Jimmy Kempski

When the Philadelphia Eagles lost Carson Wentz for the remainder of the season in Week 14, they had an opportunity to look around for quarterbacks to potentially add to the roster, in case they had any questions at all about backup Nick Foles or No. 3 quarterback Nate Sudfeld.
