Eagles Won't Use Franchise Tag On CB Domonique Rodgers-Cromartie

Found February 18, 2013 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
Today is the first day that NFL teams can use the franchise tag designation on pending free agents. CSNPhilly's Geoff Mosher is reporting that the Eagles will not use the tag this year and since their only free agent that could conceivably get the tag is Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie you can put two and two together. If the Eagles were to tag DRC, it would cost them around $10.7m next season. Anyone who has watched him over the last two seasons would probably come to the same conclusion the Eagles have, that he's not worth $10+ million. The team could still work on a new deal with him prior to the start of free agency or they could do the same even after he hits the open market. Source: SBNation.com

Dennis Dixon Says Eagles’ QB Job Is Up For Grabs

Via GridironFans.com  |  February 18, 2013
It’s clear that one of Chip Kelly’s goals is to create a competitive environment where every player on the Eagles’ roster feels like he has a chance to win a spot and make an impact. So it should come as no surprise that newly-signed quarterback Dennis Dixon believes he’s very much in the mix to be the Birds’ starting quarterback. “From my understanding, the job is open...
