Stock report from OTAs and mandatory minicamp.
The Philadelphia Eagles officially wrapped up their spring offseason workout program last week. Now let’s take a look at the winners, losers, and I don’t knows that stood out from three media-attended practices (two days of voluntary OTAs and one mandatory minicamp session).
Disclaimer: These were non-contact drills (no pads) and three practices is a pretty small sample size. There’s still plenty of time for players to change their outlook — for better or worse — over the course of training camp and preseason games.

NFL All Quarter Century team: Best 53-man roster, coaches - ESPN
WR TERRELL OWENS: In the 11 seasons Owens played in this quarter century, he recorded three second-place finishes in DYAR and one infamous driveway news conference. He led the league in receiving touchdowns three times, and his 80.3 receiving yards per game ranks sixth among WRs with at least 50 games played since 2000. Owens would play through any injury for this team, as evidenced by his miraculous 122-yard performance in Super Bowl XXXIX...

Dallas Goedert feeling comfortable in his own skin as Jalen Hurts makes the Eagles tight end feel valued - Inquirer
In the aftermath of the Super Bowl, Dallas Goedert didn’t know if he had a future in Philadelphia. But he knew he had a vote of confidence from Jalen Hurts. The 30-year-old tight end spent the first couple months of the offseason in contract negotiations with the Eagles, as the impending final year of his deal contained no guaranteed money. Goedert called the uncertainty “stressful”...
Maybe we really can’t have nice things.
You can tell the official Dead Zone of the NFL calendar has arrived when “the lists” come out.
For a city like Philadelphia that eats, drinks, and breathes football, going months on end without significant developments to discuss can feel a lot like starving. Eagles fans are ravenous for content, but with a dominant Super Bowl victory tucked under their arms and a roster that most consider a threat to repeat in 2025, much of the low-hanging fruit that is usually there for discussion simply isn’t there.
Throughout the city’s history, the Birds...
The Philadelphia Eagles have much more than a great quarterback in Jalen Hurts.
They also have a leader, and not just on the field.
He has always drawn praise for his strong character and leadership skills.
Now, his agent, Nicole Lynn, just shared a heartwarming story to explain the kind of person he is.
She said Hurts refused to sign his record-breaking contract in 2023 until he learned how it would affect the franchise’s finances, salary cap and his teammates’ situations.
“He’s like, ‘Don’t [hurt] the team. Make sure my team is around me.’ So, I remember actually coming...

A Special Player - Iggles Blitz
“@BrandonThornNFL — Based on last year’s film this is pretty undeniable. We should start having the conversation about Lane being the best RT of all time sooner rather than later.” Brandon evaluates OL/DL play. He studies line play on a daily basis so this isn’t a flippant opinion. He’s not an Eagles fan. Brandon doesn’t have an agenda. He studies the tape and makes his evaluations. Let’s talk about what makes Johnson special. He has good frame at 6-6....
Checking in on some old friends.
Now that we’re in the NFL’s dead zone until training camp begins in late July, it’s time for an annual Bleeding Green Nation tradition: checking to see which former Philadelphia Eagles players are still playing in the NFL ... and other professional football leagues!
Some trivia questions for you before you scroll down to see the answers:
Let us know...
The Philadelphia Eagles have had several stars play only for them in recent years.
Fletcher Cox and Jason Kelce are a couple of examples.
However, Lane Johnson might have a bit of an edge over them.
That’s not because he’s a better player than they were, as you can’t truly compare positions.
Instead, it’s because the offensive lineman might have enough in the tank to play for another five or six years.
As shown by The 33rd Team on X, Johnson has only gotten better with time.
In five seasons since he turned 30 years old, he’s played 66 games...
The Philadelphia Eagles have been a powerhouse for years.
This season, they may be even better.
They enter the season as the defending Super Bowl champions and return most of their entire core.
Though there will be a new offensive coordinator, they have another year to play under Vic Fangio’s defense.
That’s why Zack Baun believes the best is yet to come for their already impressive defense.
“To think that was all of our first year in that scheme. Like, what are we going to do next year? Already, I feel like we’re miles ahead of where we were...

PFF Wide Receiver Rankings: Top 32 ahead of the 2025 NFL season - PFF
1. A.J. BROWN, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES. Brown dominates defensive backs across the board, but his success against single coverage is especially notable. He earned the highest receiving grade versus single coverage in 2024 (96.6) and leads the league in that category over the past three seasons (2022–24) with a 97.0 grade. He can win in every way, against any defense.

Any good summer vacation plans?
Now that NFL minicamps are wrapped up, the league is essentially going dark until training camps begin late next month. It’s time for some R&R.
Philadelphia Eagles players and coaches don’t report back until the NovaCare Complex until July 22. Today’s Question of the Day asks: what are you going to do to pass the time until then?
Do you have any good vacation or staycation plans? Anything you’ve been meaning to get around to? Some new books to read or movies to watch?
As for me, I’m aiming to catch up on some medical...
