The difference (money-wise) between Howie Roseman the GM and Chip Kelly the GM

by Jimmy Kempski

When the Eagles signed Miles Austin last offseason, it made no sense whatsoever. He was an old, declining, injury-prone receiver, who lacked special teams experience.

Report: Wide receiver Chris Givens to visit Eagles today

by Jimmy Kempski

Over the last two drafts, the Eagles spent first, second, and third round picks on Nelson Agholor, Jordan Matthews, and Josh Huff, respectively. Beyond the three young guys, the Eagles have almost nothing in the way of depth. It is a near certainty that the Eagles will add help in free agency at the wide receiver position.

Eagles only mock draft, version 4.0

by Jimmy Kempski

With the first week of free agency basically in the books, the Eagles have completed their heavy shopping. From here on out, I would expect them to sign a veteran wide receiver or two, as well as some other pieces for depth, but I would not expect anymore big splashes. And so, with the roster having a bit more clarity, we look for any excuse to put out a new mock draft! Because page view$$$.
