Frank Reich's words indicate (to me, anyway) that Eagles are sold on Nelson Agholor in the slot

by Jimmy Kempski

Earlier this week, NFL Network analyst (and close friend of the Eagles' front office) Daniel Jeremiah said on his Moving the Sticks podcast that he would be shocked if Nelson Agholor was not the Eagles' starting slot receiver this season.

Eagles 2017 training camp practice notes, Day 14

by Jimmy Kempski

The Philadelphia Eagles had their final practice on Tuesday before their first preseason game against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday. Because we're so close to game day, it was a light "10/10/10" practice, so notes will be a little thin today.

Eagles 2017 training camp practice notes, Day 13

by Jimmy Kempski

For the first time during 2017 Philadelphia Eagles training camp, inclement weather forced the team inside. Still, even practicing inside the bubble, where there's limited space, the Eagles were in pads today, and there was action worth noting.

Rookie linebacker Nate Gerry impressing Jim Schwartz

If the Philadelphia Eagles move on from linebacker Mychal Kendricks, a player who wants to be traded and who the Eagles would certainly trade for a decent enough offer, they would have to replace him with someone who can be that third linebacker. Yes, this is high level analysis.

by Jimmy Kempski

Last Thursday, when the Philadelphia Eagles announced that they had agreed to terms with former Bears, Ravens, and Bills defensive back Corey Graham, it was somewhat unclear what position he would play.

Jeremiah: Nelson Agholor is going to be the Eagles' slot receiver

by Jimmy Kempski

NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah was once a scout for the Philadelphia Eagles from 2010 to 2012. In fact, Howie Roseman tried to hire him to be the personnel chief before eventually landing Joe Douglas. Jeremiah has a lot of friends in the Eagles' front office, and so, that makes him worth listening to when he discusses the team.

by Jimmy Kempski

After a tough week of action-packed practices, the Philadelphia Eagles had a much lighter day on Friday, as they had a "10/10/10" practice, which are limited from a competitive standpoint.

Eagles notes: Can the Eagles trade Mychal Kendricks, given their questionable linebacker depth?

by Jimmy Kempski

All offseason long, Eagles linebacker Mychal Kendricks has been on the trade block. Kendricks wants out, and the Eagles are willing to part with him if a decent enough offer comes along. However, with a lack of depth at linebacker, as well as the potential for starting linebacker Nigel Bradham to face discipline from the NFL for two separate arrests last season, observers have wondered if the Eagles would be better served just holding onto Kendricks.
