A look at the Eagles' salary cap, and other notes

by Jimmy Kempski

Among the most useful websites for any NFL fan is overthecap.com, which shows detailed breakdowns of every player contract in the league. This year, they are publishing offseason previews for each team. On Friday last week they turned their attention to the Eagles. Even if you don't agree with their recommendations on what the Eagles should do this offseason, it's a very in-depth look at their salary cap position.

NFL Combine positional previews: Running backs who could interest the Eagles

by Jimmy Kempski

Running back is a very under-the-radar position of need for the Eagles in the 2016 draft. The Eagles don't have an obvious immediate need for a new back, but there's a decent chance that DeMarco Murray, Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles will all be gone in 2017. The Eagles would be wise to draft and begin to groom a running back now. Here are five running backs competing at the 2016 Combine would might make sense.

It feels a lot like the Eagles won't franchise tag Sam Bradford

by Jimmy Kempski

Pederson has been the Eagles' head coach for less than a month, so I'm not sure that I or anyone else can claim to have a great read on him in an interview setting, in terms of being able to strip away the "BS" from the truth. However, his comments sound a lot like a guy who already knows Bradford is going to be able to test the open market in March.

'Oh, the Places You'll Throw,' a children's book about Sam Bradford

by Jimmy Kempski

On one fine day in March, Chip called up the Rams. A trade was commenced, the green Iggles had Sam. Oh, the places you'll throw. The fans surely won't boo. Even if the steep cost was Nick Foles and a two.

The Eagles should consider 'punting' on free agency

by Jimmy Kempski

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?

by Jimmy Kempski

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?
