Saquon Barkley tops NFLPA player sales list - PFT
It’s been a very good year for Saquon Barkley. On top of everything else he achieved in his first season with the Eagles, Barkley finished the period of March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2025 as the top player in NFLPA-licensed products. He’s the first running back to top the list since Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott in 2017. Here’s the full top 20: 1. Saquon Barkley, RB, Eagles. 2. Patrick Mahomes, QB, Chiefs. 3. Jalen Hurts, QB, Eagles.
Report: Eagles hire “rising star” LSU director of player personnel - BGN
The Eagles lost some key long-time front office executives earlier this offseason. We’ve been saying that it’s important for Howie Roseman to restock the pipeline and it appears that’s what he’s aiming to do with the Tiffany hire.
Eagles rookie NFL player comparisons: iDL Ty Robinson - PhillyVoice

Final OTA Day - Iggles Blitz
Hurts started slow last season, but played really well down the stretch. If he can get off to a better start, this could be a huge year for him. He knows the offense. He has weapons all over the offense. And Hurts has won a lot of big games. His confidence has to be sky high. Hurts turns 27 in August so he’s in the prime of his career. With 66 starts under his belt, we could see the best version of Hurts in 2025.
Zack Baun is adjusting to his new standing with the Eagles as a leader and face of the defense - Inquirer
It’s a bit of an awkward transition for a self-described quiet guy who was somewhat of a cast-off when he arrived for organized team activities last summer. Leading is something Baun has to be intentional about right now. The Eagles lost big voices in Brandon Graham and C.J. Gardner-Johnson, and while Jalen Carter might be the best player in Fangio’s unit, it is Baun who is the 28-year-old center of the defense. “It’s different for me because obviously I’m a quiet guy,” Baun said. “I don’t really say much. I kind of keep to myself naturally. I’m more of a lead-by-example type of guy. But as I’m...
