Hopefully Bell will do a lot of this in midnight green. It has taken an entire week (or so), but Mike Bell is officially an Eagle heading into the 2010 season. He immediately takes a backseat to starter LeSean McCoy and will allow Leonard Weaver to focus more on being a fullback than a backup running back. Weaver will still see his carries, but they'll be cut ...

Mike Bell will know his future by 11:59 p.m. Tuesday. In one of the oddest things I've seen since I began covering the Eagles over a year ago, the deadline on when the Saints must decide whether or not to match Mike Bell's offer sheet has changed. It was originally supposed to be 11:59 p.m. on Monday (March 22nd), but it has now been moved to 11:59 p.m. ...

Could Iupati be Reid's latest early-round lineman? According to Chris Steuber of Scout.com, the Philadelphia Eagles are one of many teams that have scheduled a workout with Idaho guard Mike Iupati . The workout is set to take place at the end of this month. The Eagles brass apparently wants to get a front-row seat to see what this guy can do, and given Andy Reid's affinity for ...

I've already said I believe the Eagles will select the best defensive end on the board, but what if there isn't a defensive end available? Would the Eagles simply take the best player on the board, or could they trade out of the first round for the third time in four years? Many of the draft analysts believe this is one of the deepest drafts in a long time, ...

Since the free agent class was very weak this offseason, the Eagles are going to have to do most of their improving internally. They will have to squeeze everything they can out of a few guys who have not lived up to their billing as either high draft picks or high-priced free agents. And it's not just guys like Trevor Laws, Stacy Andrews, and Victor Abiamiri. They're the obvious bunch ...

News came out a couple of days ago that only a few hours after the trade had taken place, the Philadelphia Eagles and brand-new acquisition Darryl Tapp had an extension in place. No one knew the numbers, but now it appears that NFL insider Adam Schefter—surprise, surprise—has them. "For those scoring at home: Eagles gave newly acquired DE Darryl Tapp a three-year, $9 million deal that includes a $3 million ...

Jason Babin has received a contract offer from the Tennessee Titans to the tune of one year worth $1 million, but isn't a Titan just yet. He is an unrestricted free agent (technically), but the Eagles were savvy enough to work a clause into his contract that, for all intents and purposes, makes him a restricted free agent with a right of first refusal. The Eagles now have seven ...

Over the past week or so, the Eagles have signed Marlin Jackson, have a pending offer sheet on Mike Bell, released Shawn Andrews, and traded Chris Clemons and a fourth-round pick to Seattle for defensive end Darryl Tapp.And if you thought they were done, you were wrong.The Birds have cut defensive end Darren Howard and wide receiver Kevin Curtis, both of whom were in their 30's and not performing up ...

One second-round disappointment seems to have surpassed another second-round disappointment before he even touches to field for his new team.Darryl Tapp, for whom the Eagles traded Tuesday evening, is a second-round pick who has not lived up to his second-round billing. But the word around town is that he will immediately step in front of Victor Abiamiri, a guy who's been even more disappointing for the Eagles than Tapp was ...
