Expect Eagles to be active today after most boring tampering period ever

by Jimmy Kempski

Early this week, I cleared my schedule and made sure that I could be in front of a computer for the onslaught of Philadelphia Eagles news that was going to break, beginning at noon on Tuesday with the start of the "legal tampering period," which in the past has always led to the Birds "agreeing to terms with" various players.

Eagles sign former Ravens and 49ers WR Torrey Smith to three-year deal

by Jimmy Kempski

Torrey Smith fits the profile of a deep threat the Eagles are seeking to add, hence their interest in him near the trade deadline this past season. He ran a 4.41 at the 2011 NFL Combine and has a 17.0-yards per catch average over his career.

Will they trade for Brandin Cooks, or some other wide receiver? Here's a place where you can discuss the Eagles' moves among yourselves.

Eagles release defensive end Connor Barwin

by Jimmy Kempski

Throughout the Chip Kelly era, Barwin was one of the most valuable members in Billy Davis' 3-4 defense because of his versatility. Barwin could cover, rush the passer, and play the run, but was not a dominant player when doing any of those things. Playing in a 4-3 defensive scheme under Jim Schwartz that has historically been very stat-friendly for defensive ends, Barwin posted the worst numbers of his Eagles career, across the board.

So trading Brandon Graham for Brandin Cooks is 'a thing' now?

by Jimmy Kempski

The only financially tradable pass rusher Eagles have that could possibly interest the Saints, at least in terms of a valuable piece that a deal could be centered around as opposed to a high draft pick, is Brandon Graham.

Report: Tony Romo to be released by the Cowboys

by Jimmy Kempski

Over the last decade, Philadelphia Eagles fans have reveled in Tony Romo's late-game and late-season failures, most notably his botched hold on a field goal against the Seattle Seahawks in the playoffs way back in 2006. Or if you prefer, how about the 44-6 beat-down of the Cowboys in 2008?

Report: Texans fear losing CB A.J. Bouye to Eagles

by Jimmy Kempski

After a breakout season in 2016, Bouye is widely considered to be the prize of this year's free agent cornerback class, despite starting just 19 games in four seasons in the NFL. In the very recent past, the Eagles have been burned twice when signing "the prize of the free agent cornerback class" when they handed out big-time money to Nnamdi Asomugha and Byron Maxwell.

If you're an NFL wide receiver with a heartbeat and opposable thumbs, there's a good chance that you have linked in some way to the Philadelphia Eagles in some way this offseason.
