Jones decided to sign a two-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, the team announced Monday.
Jones lost his job due to his lackluster play last season, and the Packers simply couldn’t depend on him to make tackles anymore...

Report: Philadelphia Eagles will let WR Jeremy Maclin test free agency market
With the NFL franchise tag deadline today at 4 p.m. EST, the Philadelphia Eagles don’t appear likely to use it on WR Jeremy Maclin.
At this point, it appears Dez Bryant & Demaryius Thomas will be the only WRs franchise tags. Not Jeremy Maclin, not Randall Cobb.

Maclin would be due just a tick under $13M if franchised, but that obviously...

Eagles 2015 Draft Prospect: UCLA Quarterback Brett Hundley
We all know that Eagles fans covet one quarterback in this draft. However, that quarterback may not be attainable. There are plenty of rumors that the Eagles are wiling to do whatever it takes to get Marcus Mariota. We won’t know if that’s true until April 30th. Regardless, they need to have a backup plan if they cannot obtain Mariota. One potential option they may explore is...

Eagles, Trent Cole discussing reworked contract
Rather than release him, as they did Todd Herremans last week, the Philadelphia Eagles would like to lessen linebacker Trent Cole's cap hit for 2015 in a more reasonable way.
After all, the man had 14.5 sacks over the last two seasons,
And Cole is apparently onboard with helping out - Elliot Shorr-Parks of NJ.com reports that the two sides have been discussing a reworked...

Jeremy Maclin Hopeful on Eagles: “If it’s Supposed to Happen, It’ll happen”
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin wants to remain in the only city he’s called home during a six-year career, and the team appears to want him to stay.
The only thing standing between this happening is Maclin and the Eagles coming to terms on a new contract before the start of free agency on March 10th. If a deal is not struck, and the Eagles want to retain him next...

NFC East: Does Darrelle Revis Make Sense?
Too often in free agency the prize of doing business at retail price instead of wholesale ends up not working out for the team. There aren’t very many free agents in the league who are worth the price tags they will ultimately demand on the open market. Usually, the players who are type of those impacts are resigned by the team’s that draft them. However, there are sometimes...

Grateful not to be the Philadelphia Browns…or the Cleveland Eagles…
The Browns just signed veteran QB Josh McCown for 3 years, $14 million, $6 million guaranteed. He’s 35 years old and was 1-10 as a starter for Tampa Bay last season.
It seems that Philadelphia front office personnel who left the Eagles a few years ago to join the Cleveland Browns have only made matters worse there.
To be fair to the individuals involved, like Joe Banner and Tom...

Maclin still holding out hope Eagles will re-sign him

Philadelphia Eagles: Draft Profile on Landon Collins
Cary Williams, Nate Allen, and Brandon Fletcher were unimpressive last season. Their poor and inconsistent play resulted in the team ranking 31st in the league in pass defense. The future for either of those players are uncertain at the moment, but it would be safe to say that the Philadelphia Eagles will look to improve the secondary either though the draft or free agency.

Philadelphia Eagles release Herremans as needs grow
The recent releasing of Todd Herremans raises questions about a section of the Philadelphia Eagles that remained largely untouched up until this point—the offensive line.
Herremans is arguably now the 2nd best available guard in free agency behind Iupati. Like James Casey and McCown, market should be good.
