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 [...]

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 [...]

Over the past few days phillysportsblogs has made a case for Michael Vick, Kevin Kolb and Donovan McNabb to be named the starter in 2010 for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Now it’s time to get serious.

Before I unveil the rightful choice for the job, it is time to look at one of the major factors in the decision that not yet been discused.

The last two weeks have been hard on Eagles fans young and old. Entering the final week of the season [...]

Michael Vick is a weapon, plain and simple. He can run, pass and he is capable of the big play at any time.

When the Eagles signed Vick last offseason they did so to give an athlete with a troubled past a chance to rebuild his reputation in the community and show that he could also still get the job done on the field.

I think most would agree that he went 2-for-2.

It is almost a certainty that the Eagles will not [...]

The late Albert Einstein is known for many great pieces of knowledge. In the sports world there is one phrase he coined that seems to trump all else:

“The definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting a different result.”

That phrase has been used by fans over the last few seasons to persuade  the Eagles front office breaking up the duo of Donovan McNabb and Andy Reid. Of course the front office has not taken that route, [...]

Donovan McNabb was not a popular choice when he was selected in the 1999 draft with the #2 overall pick.  He played in nearby Syracuse, but for some reason Eagles fans had their hearts set on Ricky Williams.  It is somehow fitting that since that critical pick, the Eagles have ranked near the bottom of the league in average rush attempts per game, but have also been one of the most successful franchises in the league, largely in part to [...]

The Eagles finally broke out of their fall doldrums and thoroughly dominated todays opponent.  They only led 13-0 at halftime, largely in part to penalties that called back several scores, and their own inability to finish drives.   Only a determined goal-line stand to close out the first half and keep it from being a one score game provided them with needed momentum as they came out in the second half with the first possession.

Michael Vick was welcomed back to [...]

The Eagles dominated every single offensive and defensive category in todays game and in the process managed to just barely win.  They had more total plays of offense, more yards passing, more yards rushing, had better yards per pass and rush attempt, had more time of possession, better 4th down efficiency, allowed fewer turnovers, and barely escaped with a win !!

Yes they were not as good on third down, thanks to the Redskins being unnaturally good at that, but they [...]

This week Michael Vick came out to state he is not happy with his role as the “wildcat” option with the Philadelphia Eagles.  Wow, is this a news flash.  Maybe Vick needs to understand he is not ANY option with the team, and were it not for the respect McNabb has from team ownership and Andy Reid he probably would be not involved with professional football at all.  I mean, this is a team with a proven winner in McNabb [...]

At this rate, Yahoo is positioning itself to be the Next Fox News.

Yahoo is out spinning the truth again and this time Michael Vick and the Eagles are on center stage.

Anyone familiar with Yahoo, knows they put “catchy” but often false headlines on stories to drive audiences to click on them. It just happens to be the Eagles turn.

On the main page of the Yahoo web site there is a photo of Vick with the title “Vick not happy as [...]

All right.  UNCLE.  NFL Gameday, 13 minutes coverage on Michael Vick, 2 minutes coverage on the upcoming Eagles game.  I have been anti Vick since his signing, in part because of what his personal choices were, and in part because I don’t feel he is that good of a QB.  He is a great runner, a below average passer, and an average team mate.

This team was highly touted BEFORE the Vick signing, why have they been relegated to road kill [...]

Marty Mornhinweg made it official Thursday, stating that Michael Vick will see action on Sunday when the Eagles take on the Chiefs.
Not that it was ever in doubt.
Sunday will be the first time Vick plays in a meaningful game since 2006, before he was sentenced to a 20-month jail sentence for a dogfighting conviction.
Eagles fans a got a glimpse of Vick in the preseason, though Andy Reid was careful not to tip his hat much in terms of the Wildcat. [...]

No longer will Donovan McNabb, Kevin Kolb or whoever else handles the Eagles quarterbacking position be able to “put the biscuit in the Baskett.”
In a move that is a bit of a head-scratcher, the Eagles cut wide receiver Hank Baskett to make room for Michael Vick on the active roster. The move comes on the heals of the Eagles signing Jeff Garcia and placing Shaw Andrews on IR.
Someone had to go, but Baskett?
The Eagles had carried seven receivers on their [...]

Donovan McNabb is a trooper.  He has played ten years in Philadelphia since being drafted in the first round, and he has yet to get any real respect.  In the preseason, his team signed Michael Vick and Donovan did the right thing, he claimed to have lobbied to get him here.  Any normal person would realize that to do so simply wouldn’t make sense for you and me.  Do YOU want someone younger than you standing behind you but getting [...]
