The Eagles secondary now has a new member.

Philadelphiaeagles.com is reporting that the Eagles have signed cornerback Marlin Jackson to a two-year contract. Terms have not been released.

A report from profootballtalk.com says that it is believed the Eagles will convert Jackson to free safety — an area the Birds had all kinds of trouble with last season.

Jackson played both cornerback and safety in his five seasons with the Colts, but is coming off of a season where he played just five [...]

One of the bigger busts in the Andy Reid era is leaving town.

The Eagles traded Reggie Brown to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for an undisclosed 2011 draft pick.
Brown never quite found a home with the Eagles, bouncing between roles as high as their No. 1 receiver, to as low as their No. 5. Some weeks he wasn’t even activated.

The Eagles selected Brown with their 35th pick of the 2005 draft, a move that excited the teams fan base. The Birds [...]

Julius Peppers and Aaron Kampman are not coming to town to help the Philadelphia Eagles.

However the team is taking care of its own.

The Eagles announced a contract extension with wide receiver Jason Avant. Avant, who was a restricted free agent, signed a five-year deal, but terms have yet to be disclosed.

The move comes on the heals of the team’s decision to pick up the $1.5 million bonus for Michael Vick. The bonus is part of the $5.25 salary Vick is [...]

Well, it didn’t take long. Eagles fans can cross Julius Peppers off their wish list as it is being reported that Peppers and the Bears have agreed on a contract.

The following is from ESPN’s John Clayton.

The Bears and Julius Peppers are in the process of finalizing a six-year deal to bring the top free agent in 2010 to Chicago, according to a source.

After agreeing on the numbers on the deal, both sides are having the language of the contract reviewed [...]

There is talk of the Eagles being interested in Julius Peppers, which in my opinion would be a great move for the Eagles.  Having peppers in addition to Trent Cole would allow both men to dominate as defenses pick which linebacker to cover on the pass rush. 

There are also rumors that the Birds may be interested in Packers DE Aaron Kampman.  Personally, I think it may be too early to jump on a DE 5 months removed from anterior cruciate [...]

The thought of Julius Peppers lining up opposite Trent Cole has had Eagles fans salivating since the team’s season ended in early January.

Apparently the same can be said for the Eagles’ front office.

Comcast SportsNet is reporting that the Eagles have made an offer to the offseason’s top prize. Jordan Raanan of CSNphilly.com wrote “According to Peppers’ agent Carl Carey, the Eagles have made an offer to Peppers and have “strong interest” in the five-time Pro Bowl defensive end.

Though no [...]

Wiht the NHL trading dealine now oast us it’s time to tunr our focus to the FL free agent market, which opens up at 12:01 a.m. on Friday. There is not as much out there this season as the uncapped year has forced many would be unrestricted free agents to become restricted. That means if teams want to aqcuire any of these players they must be willing to fork over mega bucks as well as draft picks.

Not every deal will [...]

There is a lot up in the air this off season with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Will they keep McNabb ?

Will they draft a linebacker in the first round for the first time since 1979 ?

Will McCoy be a satisfactory replacement for the departed Westbrook ?

Here is my take on the situation.  The Eagles have a very good returning nucleus to last years team that, in my opinion, underacheived by not getting deep into the playoffs.  

They need to keep McNabb.  I [...]

Brian Westbrook made one thing clear yesterday: Just because his career as an Eagle is over, doesn’t mean his career in the NFL is as well.

Westbrook said that he will not be retiring and is looking forward to the next chapter of his playing career.

“My plan is not to retire,” Westbrook told the Associated Press. “My plan is to continue to play football. I’ve already started training for next season. That doesn’t necessarily mean there are teams that will pick [...]

The end of an era has arrived in Philadelphia. Brian Westbrook will no longer be an Eagle.

Philadelphiaeagles.com is reporting that the Eagles will release Westbrook today.

“Brian is one of the greatest Eagles of all time and he is even a better person and leader,” said head coach Andy Reid. “In my mind, there has not been a more versatile running back that the NFL has seen. I had a conversation with Brian this morning to let him know. This is [...]

It should come as a surprise to no one that former Eagles’ cornerback Troy Vincent is back in the NFL – working for the NFL that is.

Vincent, who was President of the Players Association for a four-year period during his playing days, has accepted the role of vice president of player development for active players.

As great of a player as Vincent was for the Eagles, he was always said to be an even better man.

Vincent will oversee several support programs [...]

In Philadelphia every offseason is about Donovan McNabb.

Only this time, Philadelphia is not alone.

ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio says that the drama around McNabb is the story off the offseason. Bellow is an excerpt:

Philadelphia is the only team in the NFL with all three quarterbacks on its roster going into the final year of their contracts. Teams are calling, wondering who’s available, who’s not and what the Eagles would want in any potential trade.

The Eagles’ front office is listening. But here’s the [...]

Not even the Super Bowl can be free of Donovan McNabb trade rumors.

Les Bowen issued a piece in today’s issue of the Daily News talking about the latest speculation in on trades involving McNabb, as well as Vick and Kolb. He also stressed that as of now nothing is close to happening.

Bellow is Bowen’s article.

If there is one day in the NFL year when we ought to be free of worrying about Donovan McNabb and the Eagles , it should be [...]

The Philadelphia Eagles lost one of their own Friday night when Tom Brookshier passed away. A defensive back for the Eagles for seven seasons, and later a CBS broadcaster, Brookshier was 78.

The following is a release from espn.com.

Once Garrett Hartley’s kick sailed through the uprights on Sunday, sending the Saints to their first ever Super Bowl, Donovan McNabb’s career as an Eagle got extended for at least one more game.

Since the Pro Bowl is being played before the Super Bowl – historically it has always been played after the NFL’s biggest game – players participating in the Super Bowl, namely Saints QB Drew Brees, won’t be suiting up this weekend.  McNabb was named to replace Brees on [...]
