Brandon Graham’s final, turbulent, triumphant football chapter - ESPN
Carlyne knew as soon as she saw Brandon on the field postgame that he had retorn his triceps. (Graham does not know when in the game he retore his triceps.) Her friends and family at home that saw her on television told her to focus and enjoy the moment, but she was busy worrying and texting his physical therapist and his doctor. “I can see it and it looked exactly how it looked when he [tore...
A look at how Philadelphia spends their resources.
The Philadelphia Eagles are fresh off a Super Bowl victory and looking to run it back in 2025. There’s no arguing with the on-field results: the Eagles have managed to be one of the most consistent contenders in the NFL under head coach Nick Sirianni and general manager Howie Roseman. Since 2021, the Eagles have four-straight playoff appearances, two NFC East titles, six playoff wins, two Super Bowl appearances, and that massive Super Bowl win in February.
That level of sustained success has made Philadelphia a model franchise in the NFL, with...

The BGN Community Mock Draft is back for another year! The actual 2025 NFL Draft start date, April 24, is four weeks away, so we’re just about ready to begin. Please make sure to check out the rules below.
In 2024, BGN member Philly21 finished as champion with a 91.14% approval rating by having the Titans take Joe Alt. As the winner, they will own the rightful claim to their choice of the Philadelphia Eagles’ first-round pick at No. 32 (Birds won Super Bowl LIX).
Who will be the winner this year?! It’s anyone’s guess, but...
The LA Angels released Mickey Moniak on Tuesday:
The Los Angeles Angels are releasing outfielder Mickey Moniak, sources tell ESPN. They owe him $333,333 — one-sixth of the $2 million salary he won in an arbitration hearing over the winter. Similar situation to J.D. Davis’ last spring. Arb settlements are guaranteed. Not cases.

Moniak was the #1 overall selection in the 2016 MLB Draft. He had a decent 2023 with the Angels but regressed in 2024 and here we are. At 26 years old, maybe someone can take a flier...
Apparently the rule banning the Tush Push might have trouble getting the 24 votes it needs next week:
It’s unclear whether the Packers’ proposed ban of the tush push will get the 24 votes among the 32 NFL owners necessary to be approved, source says: “Not sure it can get 24.” The sentiment is mixed on the NFL competition committee about the proposal. The owners meet next week.

Suck it, Packers.
Here’s what I don’t understand:
The Eagles are the best team in the league at running the Tush Push. They...

Packers’ “tush push” proposal gets “mixed” reaction from Competition Committee - PFT
The Packers have proposed a rule change that would attack the so-called “tush push.” With the annual league meetings only days away, it’s looking like there’s not nearly enough of a push to get 24 total owners to vote for the proposal. On Tuesday, Mark Maske of the Washington Post posted this on Twitter: “It’s unclear whether the Packers’ proposed ban of the tush push will get the 24 votes among the 32...

Wilson is 36 now, a Pro Bowl replacement in 2024. The Steelers started 10-3, then lost to the Eagles to kick off a five-game skid that ended with a playoff loss against the division rival Baltimore Ravens. Russ ended up playing 11 regular season games and threw for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdowns, and...
The New York Giants have not one but two new veteran quarterbacks.
The New York Giants are signing Russell Wilson — who turns 37 in November — to a one-year contract worth “up to” $21 million with $10.5 million guaranteed, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter.
The Wilson addition comes just several days after the G-Men signed another veteran free agent quarterback in Jameis Winston.
Signing Winston to a two-year, $8 million deal seemed sensible enough for the purposes of having a bridge quarterback/quality backup with a rookie quarterback also in the mix. But why then also...
Philadelphia has been commonly linked to the Boston College prospect.
The Philadelphia Eagles are hosting Boston College Eagles edge rusher and Williamstown, New Jersey native Donovan Ezeiruaku on a pre-draft visit, according to a report from SportsRadio 94WIP’s Eliot Shorr-Parks.
Ezeiruaku has been a popular mock draft pick for the Birds with their first-round pick at No. 32 overall. He’s the No. 16 prospect ranked by Pro Football Focus and the No. 28 by Daniel Jeremiah.
Appearing in 47 games over the span of four years at BC, Ezeiruaku logged 47 TFLs, 21 sacks, and eight forced fumbles. The 21-year-old...
Keeping track of Philadelphia’s latest interests.
Time to add two more updates to the Philadelphia Eagles’ pre-draft visits tracker leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Birds recently hosted Kentucky cornerback Maxwell Hairston (per his Instagram, h/t @JaguarsNow95) at the NovaCare Complex. They’re also scheduled to host SMU edge rusher Elijah Roberts, according to a report from Justin Melo.
Let’s sort through this news on a player-by-player basis.
Hairston is the No. 42 prospect ranked by Pro Football Focus and No. 32 by Daniel Jeremiah.
The 21-year-old played 32 games at Kentucky over the last...
Don’t be surprised when Philadelphia ends up drafting some of these players.
It’s officially time to fire up Bleeding Green Nation’s annual pre-draft visit tracker!
For the uninitiated, NFL teams are allowed to bring 30 prospects to their facility for in-person meetings leading up to NFL Draft each year. Teams are not permitted to physically work out players during these visits but they are allowed to interview them and glean information through medical testing.
These visits don’t necessarily guarantee the team is actually interested in drafting the player; Howie Roseman has previously admitted to using some of them as smokescreens...

Every NFL team’s free-agent signing with the most upside - PFF
Philadelphia Eagles: EDGE Josh Uche. Contract: One year, $1.92 million Leave it to the Eagles to acquire a defensive lineman with star power for pennies on the dollar. In 2022, Uche established himself as one of the league’s most promising edge rushers after racking up 56 quarterback pressures (tied for 20th), including 12 sacks (tied for 12th). A less productive 2023 campaign and a slow start to 2024 facilitated Uche’s exit, via a trade...
