Death of an Eagles Salesman...
I got "the Talk" yesterday... you know, the Willy Loman "talk" you get when they think you're ready to be put out to pasture...or you need a very long rest.
I guess my blurbs on the Eagles have been running a little long lately... but you know THERE'S SO MUCH TO TAKE IN!!

The move comes as a result of the Eagles putting a new priority on the tight end position, which explains the additions of James Casey via free agency and Zach Ertz via last months draft.

Chip Kelly’s Three Tight End Formations: A Fantasy Football Nightmare
It appeared, for about a minute and a half, that James Casey was the Philadelphia Eagles tight end begging to be bought at rock-bottom prices in drafts this summer.
Not so anymore.
I’ve talked plenty over the past few months about the merits of streaming tight ends if you don’t secure one of the elites in the first couple rounds of your fantasy drafts. Teams are throwing more...
In depth 2013: Houston Texans
The Houston Texans started 11-1 and looked like the team to beat in the AFC until falling three times during the final four games of the season. Houston still won the AFC South, but couldn’t parlay that into a championship season, as the Texans fell in the second round of the playoffs to Baltimore.
The core of the team is back. Any team with Matt Schaub, Arian Foster and Andre...
James Casey wild-card factor in Eagles mix...and welcome back Jerky!
I'm not sure Eagles fans have yet grasped the show-biz panache of recent acquisition James Casey, a FB/TE hybrid who can also heave the ball about 70 yards downfield if needed...
He's a modern-day Paul Hornung--- a guy who can do it all-- catch, run, pass, block and kick---and he's one of the new Eagles!

Currently, the Texans lost a safety in Glover Quin, an outside linebacker in Connor Barwin, and tight end James Casey who will need to be replaced.

Philadelphia Eagles add another piece to new defense with DE Clifton Geathers
The Philadelphia Eagles continued to make moves to shore up their new defense by acquiring DE Clifton Geathers from the Colts on Thursday in a trade, giving up fullback Stanley Havili.

Geathers’ (6-7, 325) collegiate career was spent at the University of South Carolina, where he played in 36 games and finished with 72 tackles, 12 tackles for a loss, six sacks...
Report: Colts Trade For Eagles FB Stanley Havili
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Philadelphia Eagles have traded FB Stanley Havili to the Indianapolis Colts for DE Clifton Geathers.
With the Eagles signing James Casey, who’s more of a versatile player, Havili was largely expendable now that they’ve brought in Chip Kelly as their new head coach.
Havili, 25, was rated as a slightly above average fullback last season...
Texans Sign FB Greg Jones
Adam Schefter is reporting that the Houston Texans have signed former Jaguars FB Greg Jones to a one-year deal.
The Texans brought Jones in for a visit on Tuesday, so a deal came together pretty quick.
Jones, 31, will replace James Casey who wound up signing with the Eagles a few weeks ago. Jones is much more of a traditional fullback than Casey, which seems to be what the Texans...
Philadelphia Eagles sign TE James Casey
The Eagles already have Brent Celek, but James Casey isn’t a traditional tight end. He can play fullback and h-back as well and played 668 snaps in 18 games for the Texans last year even though they had both Owen Daniels and Garrett Graham. He caught 38 passes for 379 yards and 3 touchdowns on 48 targets, grading out above average as a pass catcher on ProFootballFocus, while holding...

Day 3 Wrap Up: Texans Free Agency
Another starter was lost, but the excitement picked up with the arrival of a new safety talking to the Texans. The Texans look like they are closing in on their first off-season acquisition of the 2013 NFL season, and it might be a player this team needs to help change the culture from a disappointing end to the 2012 season.

Philadelphia Eagles: Free Agency Snapshot
On the first days of the free agency period (affectionately dubbed "Free Agency Frenzy" by NFL Network), the Eagles were far from splashy, but they were exceedingly active nonetheless. It took roughly four hours for an announcement involving anyone other than Nnamdi Asomugha (released just minutes before the proverbial doors opened).In the coming slides, you will be...

Brent Celek
The free-agent market is open and after two days the Eagles have picked up five new players. None has the ring of say a Wes Welker who was signed by the Denver Broncos. At first glance of the careers of all five of the new Birds none are likely starters.

Not Losing In March
Coach Kelly, Let The Man Dance
NFL free agent season has begun, and my Philadelphia Eagles laundry has gone back to their historical record of small beer signings. After the way the last few years went, this is all fine by me and most of the rest of Eagle Nation; besides, after a 4-12 season, anything that seems like Quick Fix is inherently suspect.
But having said that, there...
Philadelphia Eagles focus on defense and special teams in free agency
It wasn’t a full-on frenzy for the Philadelphia Eagles in the first day of free agency, but they certainly made a splash by signing five players. CB Bradley Fletcher and LB Jason Phillips signed 2-year deals with the team, while TE James Casey, S Patrick Chung and DL Isaac Sopoaga struck 3-year deals.
The fact that four of the five deals made were with the defensive players reflects...
Making sense of Free Agency Frenzy in Philly...
To paraphrase our resident talent scout-emeritus, JB-Sage-Lion, "Why are so many teams over-spending on second-tier free agent players?"
Wait a week or two, and the price tags would have been a lot less... but there is a level of desperation to win NOW that is pervasive among at least 30 NFL teams that are tired of losing... And the Free Agent gold rush is mighty tempting...
Day 1 Wrap-Up: Texans Free Agency
It was one of those days where the Houston Texans were going to be in wait and see mode and prior to the new league year opening up. There was no good news, the Texans were watching their own free agents board planes and visit other NFL teams. There are some Texans who are no longer with the team and there was some interesting news on who the Texans contacted on the free agent market...
