http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/players/todd_herremans/2204 Recent articles about Todd Herremans en-us This offseason has been markedly different from last year for the Philadelphia Eagles.  Putting the obvious lockout related subjects aside, there are still some monumental differences in how the team handled itself last year and how the organization has gone about business this year.  The 2011 offseason saw the Eagles make huge moves in the free agent market, seemingly signing just about every big named free agent available, namely Nnamdi Asomugha, Cullen Jenkins, Jason Babin and Vince Young, as well as trading for Dominique Rodgers-Cromatrie.  That strategy obviously did not work out in the Eagles favor, as they started the season 4-8 before winning their last 4 games.  Philadelphia had the talent to succeed last year, but in a significantly shortened offseason, it took longer than expected for the team to gel.   Blowing 4th quarter leads and turning the ball over didn’t help a great deal, either. This year, however, the Eagles have taken care of their own.  The team re-signed wide...

Both Todd Herremans and Trent Cole signed contract extensions today, with Herremans being extended through 2016 and Cole's exact contract not yet announced but expected to be for about the same number of years.Herremans was rewarded for his versatile play along the line as the deal could give him about 20 million dollars of guaranteed money. Cole also is much deserving of more guaranteed money given how valuable he is as one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.What the Eagles do next in free agency isn't clear, though there have been some rumblings about LB's and backup running backs being on their wishlist. With DeSean Jackson getting good money with the franchise tag and the Eagles giving extensions to a few of their own, there likely isn't a ton of money left for the Birds to make a big splash...

The Eagles signed OT Todd Herremans, 29, to a 3-year extension, taking his contract with the Birds through 2016. Most of us were expecting that signing Evan Mathis, now a free agent, would have been the first move on the o-line taken by Philadelphia, but the Birds wanted to express thanks for consistently strong performance from Herremans. Head coach Andy Reid said, “We are excited to be able to sign Todd to a new contract. Todd’s intelligence, toughness, durability, and leadership are second to none. Very few players in the NFL can play at an extremely high level at both the guard and tackle positions and Todd has done that for us. He has been a big part of the success of our offense over the last several years.” Below is video of Herremans speaking with CSNPhilly’s Derrick Gunn about the signing. The Toddfather expressed appreciation for the security the move provides ...

In short, the 2012 season kicked off officially and free agency goes along with it. The Philadelphia Eagles have not landed any NEW free agents, but they have agreed to a 3-year contract extension with offensive tackle/guard Todd Herremans. There are rumors that the Eagles are also working on an extension with Defensive End Trent Cole. The Eagles announced a new deal with Herremans earlier in the day, opting reward a player who has been with the team and performed well and has become a leader on the offensive line. Herremans was signed through the 2013 season, but was still rewarded with. 3-year $21 million extension that will keep him in Eagles green through 2016. ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio is also reporting that the Eagles are working to extend the contract of defensive end Trent Cole. According to the report, the deal is very nearly done with the two sides already agreeing to terms. In other Eagles relate...

While there were some road bumps that needed to be worked out, the Eagles offensive line wrapped up the season proving to be among the best throughout the league. Just hours before the official start of free agency Philadelphia is taking the right approach to keeping this line in tact. According to Eagles Insider Dave Spadaro of the Official Team site, the Eagles and offensive tackle Todd Herremans have agreed to a three-year contract extension reportedly worth $21 million and $11 million guaranteed. Herremans is a seven-year veteran in the NFL, all with the Eagles, and has proved countless times to be a staple in the Eagles offensive line. He played tackle collegiality but was moved to the interior line when selected by Philadelphia in 2005. However injuries forced the Eagles to move him back to...

He started every game last season. "We are excited to be able to sign Todd to a new contract," Eagles coach Andy Reid said. "Todd's intelligence, toughness, durability, and leadership are second to none. Very few players in the NFL can play at an extremely high level at both the guard and tackle positions and Todd has done that for us. He has been a big part of the success of our offense over the last several years." Herremans started every game at right tackle last season after shifting over from left guard. Herremans is a former fourth-round draft pick from Saginaw Valley State. Full story -- Aaron Wilson Titans extend Babineaux The Tennessee Titans don't know if they can land Peyton Manning, but the franchise is now assured of having its starting strong safety back in the fold. A source told FOXSports.com that Jordan Babineaux has agreed to a two-year contract extension that has a maximum value of $5 million. After spending his first seven NFL seasons in Seattle, Babineaux made a solid impact in his 2011 Titans debut. Babineaux notched 93 tackles in 14 starts and had a 97-yard interception return for a touchdown in a 31-13 victory over Cleveland. The Titans remain in pursuit of Manning, the star free-agent quarterback who already has met with team officials from Denver, Arizona and Miami. As first reported by ESPN, the Titans entertained seven-time Pro Bowl guard Steve Hutchinson on a free-agent visit Tuesday.

Herremans, 29, started all 16 games in 2011 at tackle, after primarily playing guard during his first six seasons in Philadelphia. A fourth-round selection in 2005 out of Saginaw Valley State, Herremans is the second longest-tenured member of the Philadelphia offense, having played in 95 games. Herremans was part of an Eagles offense that set a franchise record in 2011 with 6,386 total yards, a season after it set a team record with 439 total points. He has also scored two touchdowns in his career, the first from Donovan McNabb at Seattle in 2008 and the other from Michael Vick at Dallas in 2010.

Herremans, 29, started 16 games at both right and left tackle last season after spending the previous five seasons as the starting left guard. Head coach Andy Reid called Herremans one of the few in the NFL who can maintain success as both the tackle and the guard position. In 2011, he ranked 26th out of 76 qualifying tackles, according to Pro Football Focus. He ranked 27th among 82 guards in 2010, 16th in 2009, and 8th in 2008. He has been extremely durable and consistent for the Eagles, missing just five games due to injuries in the last six seasons. His signing should end any speculation that the Eagles will go after free agent right tackle Andrew Whitworth, who was just released by the Cincinnati Bengals yesterday.

Since then, they have gone to a zone-blocking strategy with their offensive line, and it seems to be paying dividends. I dug up an old article by Kevin Donovan from November of 2008 to illustrate the point. Donovan wrote this for the Examiner.com, and it was centered upon a TD catch by Todd Herremans which was achieved off a play designed to look like a power run formation, at 3rd-and-goal at the two-yard line against Seattle...This memorable play involved the starting left guard (Todd Herremans, #76 at the time) lining up outside the starting right tackle and inside the third string tight end. Pretty uncommon formation. But it was successful, Todd Herremans’ touchdown reception got a standing ovation from all the big boys who man the trenches. What’s even more impressive? He made the catch with a dislocated finger. Let’s break down what happened...Herremans (76) is announced as an eligible receiver. H...

I'm going with Herremans for MVP. This year he has really put the "Yo Adrian!" into the term "yeoman effort"... The guy reported to camp in the best shape of his life and has been tearing it up ever since, a consistent point of light on this team despite a bruised ankle and bruised biceps through much of the year. Left Guard?---one of the best in the league... Need him at Right Tackle? No problem... He's been great at both positions, and not only in road-grading work but also pass protection. And the guy gets out on a screen and keeps blocking downfield until the whistle blows. His hustle and professionalism have never ...

Reid said that Todd Herremans (sprained ankle) , Cullen Jenkins (strained groin) and Jeremy Maclin (hamstring) all suffered either new injuries or setbacks against the Dolphins, leaving their status for next week's game against the New York Jets up in the air. Herremans availability for Sunday is crucial, as he has been the teams best and most versatile offensive lineman this season. Losing him would be a major blow both on the field and off, as he is one of the teams leaders in the locker room. Reid said that he would have to wait and see on both Jenkins and Herremans until Wednesday when the team starts practice. As for Maclin, whose hamstring tightened up during the game yesterday, Reid also said he will have to wait and see how it reacts once the team resumes practice. As for Michael Vick, Reid said that the quarterback is sore following his first game in 3 weeks, but that...
