On Tuesday evening, the Eagles pulled a trade for a defensive end and, they feel, addressed their most pressing need when they sent Chris Clemons and a fourth-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks for Darryl Tapp. A fourth-round pick and Clemons? I don't say this very often, but the Eagles got royally fleeced on this deal. The only thing that might save it is that Tapp is three years ...

According to Adam Caplan of Scout.com, the Eagles have put in an offer sheet for restricted free agent Mike Bell to the tune of one-year, $1.7 million with $500,000 in guaranteed money. There are also incentives in the deal that could push it over $2 million. It's a modest deal, but the Saints are unlikely to want to match it. They already have Pierre Thomas, Reggie Bush, and a young guy ...

Could Mike Bell be the answer behind LeSean McCoy? With an obvious need for a backup to running back LeSean McCoy, the Philadelphia Eagles will bring in Saints' restricted free agent Mike Bell. The Saints opted to only put a "right of first refusal" tender on Bell, which means they're not going to fight very hard to keep him. Bell isn't a superstar, and may not be better ...

In one of the more surprising moves of the day, the Eagles have decided to part ways with linebacker Witherspoon only one season after trading for him from the St. Louis Rams. Witherspoon came in as Stewart Bradley's replacement in the middle after Omar Gaither didn't work out, but was moved to WILL after Akeem Jordan was injured. He kept Jordan on the bench all year long while the ...

Julius Peppers' next visit will be to Philadelphia. Julius Peppers is in Chicago right now, but that apparently doesn't mean he won't be hopping the first flight to Philadelphia in a couple hours. It was thought that the Bears would not allow Peppers to leave Chicago and would have him signed today, but with every passing hour it's looking less and less like that's the case. His agent ...

Many people, including myself, became enamored with free safety Taylor Mays out of USC during the NFL Scouting Combine because of his astounding 40-yard dash time. However, I would caution everyone to look further than his straight-line speed. Everyone knows he's an athlete. That never has and never will be under scrutiny. The guy is an absolute monster and is about 10 pounds away from playing outside linebacker. Unfortunately, he's got ...

While talking with Garry Cobb on G. Cobb in the House over at VoiceAmericaSports.com, Shawn Andrews became a passing topic. Cobb said that keeping Andrews presents no real risk for the Eagles because he's getting paid so little, but has so much potential. I'd have to say I'm in agreement. Andrews is only getting paid around $2 million, so he's not breaking the bank if he winds up not ...

To begin, let's get this out of the way: Donovan McNabb hasn't won three Super Bowls, nor has he even been to three. However, does anyone sincerely believe that McNabb's ever been surrounded with half the talent Troy Aikman had? Aikman spent his entire career around fellow Hall members Michael Irvin, and Emmitt Smith who will be officially be inducted in August. McNabb has spent his with James Thrash ...

For the second time in two years, it all comes down to this. For all the marbles it's our beloved Eagles and the hated Cowboys clashing in Week 17 to see who will be crowned NFC East champion, and, for the Eagles, to see who will take the second seed in the playoffs. The Eagles are riding a six-game winning streak into this game, but the Cowboys are hot ...

Hear this, Machoùyou stink as a kick returner.á But the let's not stop there.á You're play all over the field has been less than stellar. To start, Macho Harris has shown us that he's not ready to be the starter at free safety. His tackling is, let's say, iffy at best, and he hasn't show a grasp on Sean McDermott's defense. Now his current issues revolve about his lack of skills ...
