First, the mandatory headlines: the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday signed quarterback Nick Foles to a four-year contract. The Eagles drafted Foles, who played at Arizona, in the third round. They also released QB Jacory Harris (Miami), who we knew was rookie minicamp cannon fodder, but at least Jacory got some time and attention in the NFL spotlight...and may yet catch on with another team.
Foles set career records at Arizona in yards passing (10,011), touchdowns (67), attempts (1,369) and completions (933). He is the No. 4 quarterback on the Eagles' roster, behind Mike Vick, Mike Kafka and Trent Edwards.
First-round pick Fletcher Cox remains the Eagles' lone unsigned draft pick. He will be permitted to participate in the upcoming OTA sessions which open today at NovaCare Complex in Philly...if his agent allows it.One of the great legacy commenters here at Eagles Eye and for many years before over at PE.com's OTI has been the legendary T-Boner, who I like to think ch...

Casey Matthews has bulked up from 232 pounds to 250 under the tutelage of his brother Clay (Green Bay Packers)... the idea is to become bigger so it's easier to shed those medium-downfield blocks by the 300-pound OL behemoths of the NFL. Some folks worry that the extra weight will slow Casey down in nickel coverage of pass receivers... Does that really matter in this stage...

LeSean McCoy had a career high 321 touches in 2011 (273 carries, 48 catches), up from 285 in 2010 (207 carries, 78 catches). As he is a smaller running back, there was some talk that the Eagles could cut his touches this season, according to Head Coach Andy Reid. This made some sense.
