The Eagles should consider 'punting' on free agency

If the Eagles let Sam Bradford and the rest of their free agents walk this offseason, they can recoup as many as four extra draft picks in 2017.

Would Jahri Evans or Mario Williams make sense for the Eagles?

Two big-name players have drawn the attention of Eagles fans over the last few days, as the "waiver period" of the NFL offseason has begun. On Monday, the Saints released six-time Pro Bowl guard Jahri Evans, and the Buffalo Bills are expected to release four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Mario Williams. Should the Eagles have interest?

Brian Dawkins was better than your dumb favorite recent safety (except, maybe, Ed Reed)

It doesn't seem like that long ago that Brian Dawkins was forcing fumbles against Dallas and having them returned for touchdowns in the 2008 "44-6 game" against the Dallas Cowboys. That was his last season in Philly before heading to Denver for three season. In 2012, Dawkins retired. In 2017, he'll be eligible for the Hall of Fame.

Eagles release Riley Cooper

In February 2014, Cooper signed a five year extension worth $22,500,000, and for that the Birds sure did get themselves racial tension and some super-terrific blocking. Obviously, they didn't get much catching and running, as Cooper averaged 28.3 receiving yards per game in the 32 games he played since signing his deal.

Jimmy Kempski's NFL Super Bowl pick

The Broncos and Panthers are both in the Super Bowl because they have elite defenses. A quick look at the team stats (yards allowed) will tell you the Broncos finished first during the regular season, while the Panthers finished sixth. However, in my view, the Panthers had the best defense in the NFL in 2015. The biggest reason why -- takeaways.
