Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles hyperlinks …
Execs, coaches, scouts rank NFL’s prime 10 CBs for 2024 – ESPN+Additionally receiving votes: DaRon Bland (Dallas Cowboys), Riq Woolen (Seattle Seahawks), Jaycee Horn (Carolina Panthers), D.J. Reed (New York Jets), Darius Slay Jr. (Philadelphia Eagles), Jack Jones (Las Vegas Raiders), Joey Porter Jr. (Pittsburgh Steelers), Martin Emerson Jr. (Cleveland Browns). [BLG Note: Slay was not included in the top 10 cornerbacks nor among the six “honorable mention” candidates after that.]
Prime 30 NFL gamers over 30 getting into 2024 season: Tyreek Hill, Trent Williams, Chris Jones lead rankings – NFL.com8) LANE JOHNSON: Over the course of 4 consecutive springs, Philadelphia drafted Brandon Graham, Jason Kelce, Fletcher Cox and Johnson. These “core 4” linemen got here to outline Eagles soccer by way of a number of teaching regimes. However with Kelce and Cox retiring in March and Graham assuming a rotational position lately, Johnson is the final man beginning. And he’s not simply beginning — he’s thriving, having earned All-Professional recognition for 3 seasons operating. The accidents have piled up throughout Johnson’s profession, however sometimes, if he can stroll, he can play — and when he performs, he dominates. Over the previous six seasons (playoffs included), the best sort out has yielded a grand complete of 5 sacks, per PFF. An athletic mauler within the run sport besides, Johnson has helped Philly discipline a top-10 floor assault in every of the final 4 years. [BLG Note: No Darius Slay on this list, either.]
Eagles Rookie Overview: Tyler Steen might have an up-and-down 12 months as a beginning guard – BGNI anticipate Steen to have an up-and-down 12 months as a beginning guard, however I belief the Eagles’ judgment concerning offensive linemen. He clearly wasn’t prepared final 12 months, because the Eagles performed Sua Opeta over him every time they wanted a guard. Opeta performed 528 snaps on the season in comparison with Steen’s 71. Nonetheless, the Eagles didn’t carry again Opeta, which suggests they assume Steen can step up. The Eagles have some younger offensive linemen who might develop over time, however I’m not certain any of them are able to take Steen’s job.
Mailbag: What are the possibilities Saquon Barkley might be a bust for the Eagles? – PhillyVoiceQuestion from @dirtydickcheney: Is there a better-than-even likelihood that Saquon Barkley goes to be a bust? What number of operating backs go on to have a resurgence with a second staff after exhibiting constant declining numbers? … I’m not so certain I agree that he has had “constant declining numbers.” In 2022, he had the second-best season of his profession, and carried a nasty a staff to the playoffs. I’m additionally not so certain I’d name an excellent season with the Eagles in 2024 a “resurgence.” His numbers weren’t spectacular final season, however they may have been a hell of rather a lot worse contemplating he was taking part in behind one of many worst offensive strains in NFL historical past (no hyperbole there). In Philly, he’ll be operating behind the very best offensive line he has ever had in his profession, by far. That mentioned, there may be danger in signing a 27-year-old operating again with a major damage historical past to a prime of the market deal. However Barkley can nonetheless play, and I’d be fairly stunned if he didn’t considerably improve the Eagles’ speeding assault, a minimum of in his first 12 months. What he’ll be in 2025 and 2026 might be the larger concern.
15 Eagles veterans on roster bubble as 2024 coaching camp nears – NBCSPOL Matt Hennessy: The Eagles signed the veteran to a one-year deal after he missed the complete 2023 season with a knee damage. Hennessy has performed in 41 video games with 22 begins his profession after the Falcons used a third-round decide on him in 2020. The Eagles signed him for some depth on the inside of their line however have since added Mekhi Becton and Max Scharping in free company and drafted Trevor Keegan and Dylan McMahon on Day 3. Hennessy nonetheless has a shot to make the staff however there are methods that doesn’t occur.
How do NFC cross rush teams stack up heading into the 2024 season? – The AthleticSo the Eagles went with a youthful, hungrier model of Haason Reddick by signing Huff away from the New York Jets? Works for me! Huff produced a 22.0 % stress price and three.5 sacks in 2022 on 164 cross rush snaps. When his snaps almost doubled final 12 months, Huff’s price principally remained elite and his sack complete vaulted to double digits. There’s little doubt cross stress will fall totally on the shoulders of Huff, Josh Sweat and Jalen Carter, with a style of Brandon Graham in a part-time position. Now, somebody should take the snaps left behind on the inside by Fletcher Cox’s retirement. Jordan Davis will take over the beginning position for Cox, however Davis yielded only a 6.7 % stress price final season. Don’t sleep on Devin White (23.8 % profession stress price) as a blitzer, although.
Newest Arduous Knocks suggests somebody was tampering with Saquon Barkley – PFTThat mentioned, it’s unclear which staff that quantity got here from. Later within the episode, Schoen says he’s listening to the Bears are driving up the worth and the Eagles are out. So possibly it was the Bears. Or possibly it was the Eagles. Or possibly it was another person. The subsequent query turns into whether or not the NFL will do something about it. In exonerating the Eagles for talking on to Barkley throughout the 52-hour negotiating window, the league mentioned this: “As with each overview, ought to new proof be uncovered, the league might reopen the investigation.” If the Eagles have been the staff speaking to Berry earlier than March 11, that might depend as new proof. And the potential violation would shift from speaking on to Barkley after the negotiating window opened to negotiating with Barkley’s agent earlier than the negotiating window opened.
This season might present the Cowboys’ free company inactivity was not that huge of a deal – Running a blog The BoysAn argument might be made that this offseason was simply the worst attainable confluence of occasions in that a considerable amount of “position gamers” hit free company within the months following a tumultuous playoff loss (the third in a row, tripling the general anger and frustration) and that sandwiched in between these issues was the notorious “all in” line. Are you able to blame me for eager to take the DeLorean there? We’ve got seen Dallas overcome slower offseasons in every of the final two years though a few of that was mitigated in 2023 by the trades for Brandin Cooks and Stephon Gilmore. That being mentioned, it could be a deeper gap now than it was then which might make the climb out tougher. And that’s simply the climb out, then a completely totally different battle begins. The general level is that the Cowboys could also be proper. If that’s true then as William Joel mentioned… we could also be loopy.
Daniel Jones not anticipated to begin camp on the PUP listing, per report – Large Blue ViewNew York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones isn’t anticipated to begin coaching camp on the PUP listing, per a report from NFL Community’s Ian Rapoport. As Rapoport notes, Jones beginning camp as energetic and “not on any sort of listing” is a mark of how effectively his rehab from the torn ACL that ended his 2023 season has gone. There was concern earlier within the offseason that Jones not solely wouldn’t be prepared for camp, however would possibly miss video games to begin the season. Nonetheless, because the offseason program wore on, we’ve gotten to the purpose the place it isn’t an enormous shock that Jones is beginning camp on the energetic roster.
The Giants are so embarrassing on ‘Arduous Knocks’ no staff will ever do it once more – SB NationLet me get this out of the best way first: the manufacturing and behind-closed-doors look that the offseason Arduous Knocks with the New York Giants has given us has been past evaluate. The look into their course of and the way they went concerning the Brian Burns commerce in addition to the QB scouting within the 2024 NFL Draft is one thing that we might by no means see within the NFL mediascape once more. The explanation it is probably not returning is easy: this offseason content material has made the Giants appear to be idiots at nearly each step. Giants GM Joe Schoen got here into New York with numerous excessive hopes after spending numerous time in Buffalo, however now the questions are going to get rather a lot louder.
Has Jason Wright offered Washington a invoice of products? – Hogs HavenWith an nearly non-existent file of accomplishment in Washington, and the staff’s latest enterprise turnaround tied nearly totally to the brand new possession regime, it looks as if an affordable time to ponder whether or not the Washington soccer franchise’s enterprise operations – which is able to hopefully be jettisoning Wright’s branding earlier than lengthy – can be higher served underneath the management of somebody devoted to a colorblind hiring of the very best people obtainable to maneuver this franchise ahead.
