Eagles 2023-2024 Season

Eagles have singed all of their draft picks, Mitchell was the last to sign.

I hope they weren’t burnt too badly.

And.. hope the song was good.

Saw this in an article about the Kirk cousins tampering penalty for the Atlanta Falcons.

In a separate investigation, the league determined that the Philadelphia Eagles did not tamper with free-agent RB Saquon Barkley.

Well that's good news. I really thought there was going to be a token penalty and the Eagles wouldn't care but James Franklin's explanation was plausible (and there was probably no proof otherwise).

Several of the pundits were talking 53-man roster decisions about CB and safety. This position is so deep that without injury some good guys are getting cut:

xx = cut or PS

CBs
Slay
Mitchell
Ringo
Rodgers (can play slot)
Jobe (special teams ace)
xx Ricks

Likely slot corners
Dejean
Hall
xx Goodrich
xx Stephens

Corner/Safety Hybrids
Maddox
Brown

Safeties
Gardner-Johnson
Blankenship
xx Garner
xx Bradberry (?)

(I listed DeJean as a slot since I think he starts there, although he's a corner/safety hybrid. Bradberry is obviously a hybrid, too, but they have said he's moving to safety)

So, will they keep 11 DBs?

[Squire]

I think some of those guys may come down with tendonitis...

The list is so deep you missed McPherson. I think Rogers might beat out Maddux, and even though there is a big cap hit to cut or trade bradberry, he seems possibly unwilling to try out safety based on his getting hurt within the first 15 minutes of trying out safety. Hope I’m wrong on that.

[zambonir]

Isn't the safety thing already a done deal?

[Docs]

Not sure how its a done deal, they wanted him to take reps at a position that he's never played before in OTAs and he was injured in the first 15 minutes of the first day. Its possible that he's on board with the position change, and would thrive. its also possible that he won't be good at it, or is unwilling to do it and wants to get cut, sign with another team to play corner with a chip on his shoulder, or its possible that he will be cut and not sign with another team. don't get me wrong, i like bradberry, I'm rooting for him and I have always believed that he could get back to playing at a high level this year. My belief in him and what actually happens are two completely separate events.

Merrill Reese, Philadelphia Eagles radio announcer, earns Pro Football Hall of...

[zambonir]

Well, I think the assumption is he's uncuttable. And if he wasn't willing to do it we probably would have heard that. But sure, the injury leaves it a more open question and anything could happen.
