The NFL may have finally identified that Sam Bradford is not worth a big investment

by Jimmy Kempski

There's a growing feeling here that the rest of the league has caught up to the notion that Bradford just isn't worth the type of money his camp would like to receive on the open market, which could signal a less expensive return to Philly.

Niners, Rams, Bills discuss their quarterback situations: How do they affect the Eagles?

by Jimmy Kempski

What coaches and general managers say at the Combine can often be meaningless. For example, Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said Sam Bradford would be back in St. Louis for the 2015 season when he talked in Indianapolis a year ago. Still, it's worth noting a few nuggets from today's press conferences at the NFL Combine.

Random notes: Which current Eagles destroyed the Combine; more on Malcolm Jenkins' deal

by Jimmy Kempski

In 2014 free agency, the overwhelming majority of fans badly wanted the Eagles to sign Buffalo Bills safety Jairus Byrd. Instead the New Orleans Saints let Malcolm Jenkins walk in free agency and signed Byrd to a six-year, $54 million deal. The Eagles, meanwhile, signed Jenkins to a far less lucrative three-year contract worth $15.5 million. Over the last two years, Jenkins has established himself as easily one of the top 10 safeties in the NFL. Byrd, not so much. Here's what each player has done since 2014.

by Jimmy Kempski

After locking up Zach Ertz, Brent Celek, Lane Johnson, and Vinny Curry to long-term deals earlier this offseason, the Eagles' front office has struck again, signing safety Malcolm Jenkins to a new five-year deal will keep him under contract through 2020. Jenkins was previously set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2016 season.
