Eagles

• Eagles HC Nick Sirianni on the quarterback change: “Every second that goes by in a situation like that, that you can hold onto information as long as you possibly can, is a little less time for the opponent to get ready for the game. I know there’s a lot of interest in everything that you all want to hear, the fans want to hear. My job is to win football games.” (Berman)

Giants

The Titans recently traded star DL Jeffery Simmons to the Bears, but the Giants were also among the teams interested in him. New York HC John Harbaugh confirmed that he left Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk a message. 

“I did. I did. I left a message,” Harbaugh said, via Jonathan Jones, Dan Duggan, and Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic. “You’re turning over every stone. Going to try everything. I’ll put it out there, man, we’re open for any call. Anybody wants to call us … call.”

One anonymous general manager told The Athletic that Harbaugh reaching out directly to Strunk violated an agreement among NFL personnel decision-makers. Harbaugh said he received no such memo. 

“It was fun to see the outpouring of interest in that (call to the Titans),” Harbaugh said. “We’re not part of any secret society oath that says you can only talk to somebody. We didn’t get memo’d on that. We’re not in that agreement, so as I said, anybody can call us, and we won’t be adhering to that particular agreement. To say that only these two people can talk to each other, it’s not how it works. It’s false. It’s incorrect. People on every level make calls to people on every level because they know them. … We’re getting all the information we can possibly get at all times. And we’re not apologizing for that.”

Harbaugh added that they want to bring in players ahead of the deadline, but it must be someone at a position of need and fit their “financial profile.”

“It’s hard to find players who can make you better, because we have good players,” Harbaugh said. “Very good players. So, it’s got to be something that is a need, that fits your financial profile, that fits your price tag. It’s not like we have a bunch of draft picks, either. We’re not loaded with 12 or 13 draft picks where we’ve got draft capital to burn. We don’t, so we have to be smart shoppers.”
