The Baffling Conclusion to the Justin Fields Trade Saga - The RingerAfter Cousins, Mayfield, and Wilson found their respective landing spots, the Raiders seemed to be a prime trade candidate for Chicago. Las Vegas reportedly had interest in Fields, but signed Gardner Minshew to a bridge quarterback contract instead. The Eagles also called about Fields, per reports; it didn’t amount to anything, and Philadelphia later traded for Pickett. The...

The Linc - Kenny Pickett joins troubling list of QBs traded before their third season

Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ... 2024 NFL trades: Why did Pickett, Ridder, Howell, Allen change teams? - ESPN+It’s an ignominious end to Pickett’s time in Pittsburgh and an admission that he’s probably not an NFL-caliber quarterback. If you go back through the passers taken since the league moved to the slotted draft system in 2011, the list of players who failed to make it to a third season with the team that drafted them isn’t pretty. Pickett joins Brandon Weeden, Johnny...

Sua Opeta is not returning to the Eagles

Photo by Mitchell Leff/ Philadelphia’s top backup guard is gone. Sua Opeta is leaving the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency to sign a one-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a report from Rick Stroud. And so ends an Eagles tenure that lasted longer than most would’ve expected when the team originally signed Opeta as an undrafted rookie free agent following the 2019 NFL Draft. Opeta, who turns 28 in August, made 10 starts in 38 games played for the Eagles dating back to the 2020 season. Six of those starts came last year when he was deemed as...

When asked if he’ll be back in his old No. 23, CJGJ took a moment to pause, smile, and talk about how he’s now going to wear No. 8 in honor of Kobe Bryant. “My favorite player is from here. “Mamba Mentality. I’m here to win. I’m not here to lose. I’m not here to be mediocre. I demand excellence. The thing about Kobe that makes him so great is that he doesn’t settle. He demands it out...

The Linc - What to make of Devin White

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/ Philadelphia Eagles news and links for 3/15/24. Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ... Eagles Sign a LB - Iggles BlitzWhite got off to a great start in Tampa, but things didn’t finish great and they let him walk in free agency. The Eagles are taking a chance in signing White, but they’re taking a chance on a talented player who is still in his prime. There are a lot worse ideas. White is a MLB, which means that Nakobe Dean will play WLB this year. White can blitz, cover and he’s a tackling machine. Ability isn’t the issue. I...

Jack Stoll will not be returning to the Eagles

Photo by Perry Knotts/ Traitor! The Philadelphia Eagles will have a new No. 2 tight end in 2024. Jack Stoll, who previously served as Dallas Goedert’s top backup, is leaving Philly to sign a one-year contract with the New York Giants. This much according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter. Stoll was set to be a restricted free agent but the Eagles predictably opted not to tender him. The lowest level tender (right of first refusal) would’ve cost just under $3 million. And so the team allowed him to hit the open market. Stoll originally joined the Eagles as...

Report: The Eagles actually signed an off-ball linebacker!

Photo by Cliff Welch/Icon Sportswire via No, seriously! It’s been a pretty busy NFL free agency period for the Philadelphia Eagles but one gaping roster hole has remained unaddressed: off-ball linebacker. That is, until now. The Eagles are signing Devin White to a one-year contract worth “up to $7.5 million,” according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter. While there’s appreciation to be had for Howie Roseman addressing a position of weakness, there are also questions if White is truly a good solution. White certainly brings pedigree to Philly as the...

Bryce Huff will wear a new jersey number on the Eagles

Photo by Rich Schultz/ New look for Philly’s new edge rusher. Bryce Huff plans to wear the No. 0 jersey as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles. The 25-year-old edge rusher revealed as much during his introductory press conference on Thursday afternoon. Huff previously wore No. 47 with the New York Jets. Not a great number, though it’s not exactly like he had the pick of the litter after originally signing with them as an undrafted rookie free agent. Huff had worn No. 47 in high school, so there was that connection. Huff then wore No. 55 in college, which is...

Report: Eagles had interest in bringing Joe Flacco back to Philly

Photo by Cooper Neill/ Jersey Joe instead decided to go to Indy. The Philadelphia Eagles had interest in bringing South Jersey native Joe Flacco back to Philly before he ultimately signed with the Indianapolis Colts, according to a report from Rob Maaddi. Flacco, who turned 39 in January, is coming off an improbably good stretch with the Cleveland Browns that earned him NFL Comeback Player of the Year honors. But the Browns still on the hook for Deshaun Watson’s massive contact (yikes), they decided not to re-sign him. And so Flacco reunited with Colts head coach...

Eagles jerseys will now feature the new wordmark instead of the old one

Thumbs up or thumbs down? Hey, remember when the Philadelphia Eagles changed their wordmark back in June 2022?

Looks a lot better in midnight green than in blue.
