One bounce-back candidate for all 32 NFL teams in 2025 - PFF
Philadelphia Eagles: ED Bryce Huff. Huff’s first season in Philadelphia couldn’t have gone much worse. He lost his starting job by Week 9 and was a non-factor during the Eagles’ Super Bowl run. His 15.0% pass-rush win rate marked a steep decline from his production with the Jets. However, with Philadelphia losing edge defenders Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham this offseason, Huff will have another opportunity to prove he can provide meaningful pass-rush...

It’s been five years since the Eagles traded for Darius Slay. Who won the trade between the Eagles and Lions?

Coming off a Super Bowl victory, the Philadelphia Eagles faced a number of difficult roster decisions during the 2025 offseason. Chief among them was what to do with cornerback Darius Slay, who was a critical piece of the secondary since his acquisition via trade from the Detroit Lions in 2020. Given the encouraging rookie seasons from 2024 draft picks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, the writing was on the wall for Slay entering his age-34 season. [The Eagles made the...

Here’s an early projection of what the 2025 Philadelphia Eagles will look like.

We previously spent time projecting the Philadelphia Eagles’ depth chart for the 2025 NFL season. We started with the offense, moved on to the defense, and then finished up with the special teams unit. With OTAs starting up today, it’s now time for a prediction of who will actually make the final cut down to 53 players. We’ll certainly update these projections throughout the rest of the offseason to reflect meaningful developments from practices and preseason games.

A closer look at Philadelphia’s sixth pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

With the 2025 NFL Draft over, it’s time for some film rooms on the Philadelphia Eagles’ rookie class. I will try to get to all 10 draft picks and the UDFAs over the next few weeks. Loads of scouting reports will say very similar things, so I have tried to include film clips to back up everything and I will talk about the player’s fit with the Eagles at the end of the piece. I managed to get the All22 for several rookies, but I can’t share those...

Five Eagles breakout candidates in 2025 - PhillyVoice
CB Kelee Ringo: Ringo hasn’t played much in the regular defense his first two seasons in the NFL, but in the limited chances he has gotten — as shown in film breakdowns from his 2023 season here and his 2024 season here — he hasn’t been perfect, but has shown promise in coverage. Ringo, still only 22, is very young for a third-year pro. He has all the physical tools (6’2, 207, 4.36 speed) to be a...

Chip Kelly tried to be the smartest guy in the room and fell flat on his face.

The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the most savvy franchises in the NFL under the leadership of general manager Howie Roseman, routinely coming out ahead in most of their transactions. Whether it’s draft trades or free-agent signings, the Eagles just seem to have a knack for nailing it under the current regime. But there were also a number of tumultuous times with Roseman, and even an instance of a head coach completely usurping power back before the 2015 season. You know who I’m...

NFL commish Roger Goodell questions ‘integrity’ of current salary cap system - Acme Packing Company
The recent success of the Philadelphia Eagles, a team that spent $115 million more in cash than the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024 and is set to be a top-seven cash spender in the NFL again in 2025, almost certainly is an issue for some ownership groups. The Eagles’ mantra has been to extend players early on their rookie contracts, sometimes immediately after their third year in the league is...

Giants perspective on Philadelphia’s offseason edge rusher addition.

The Philadelphia Eagles signed one free agent this offseason who qualified for a contract that counts against their compensatory pick formula: Azeez Ojulari. In other words, he’s their biggest veteran free agent investment.

Let’s learn more about the 24-year-old edge rusher by getting a New York Giants perspective on him. Here’s what Ed Valentine of Big Blue View had to say about Ojulari through answers to my questions.

1 - Can you recap his time with the Giants?

*Had a really promising rookie season with 8.0 sacks, though his supporting numbers...

Could Eagles rookie Andrew Mukuba start? Winding road to NFL prepped him for challenge - The Athletic
The Eagles most appreciate the versatility Mukuba affords them in coverage. Roseman emphasized upon drafting Mukuba that it’s “really hard to find cover safeties.” Mukuba punctuated that portion of his resume with a game-winning interception against Arizona State in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. But versatility can be an empty buzzword. Yes, Mukuba played in different alignments at both Texas and Clemson. But to Kwiatkowski, “versatility” when directly...

Steve Maltepes, known as “The Philly Godfather,” lived an unfathomable life, which is now a compelling book about the son of a Greek immigrant who kept reinventing himself and developed into a national level gambling pundit. Maltepes’ book, entitled, ironically, “Booked,” was released a few weeks ago, tells his story and is among the top sellers of new releases on Amazon.

Maltepes, a regular gambling contributor to Bleeding Green Nation during the NFL season, grew up an Eagles fan in the Delaware County suburb of Upper Darby and persevered over considerable obstacles—some of which were self-imposed. The book has some...

Most underappreciated NFL players: Top candidate for each NFC team entering 2025 season - NFL.com
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: MORO OJOMO. Admittedly, this is my biggest projection in this exercise, given that the 2023 seventh-round pick has played just 456 defensive snaps in the NFL. But in the wake of Milton Williams’ departure in free agency, Ojomo is set to assume a bigger role, and I think he’ll seize the opportunity. Why? Well, among interior defenders with at least 300 pass-rushing snaps last season, Ojomo boasted PFF’s...

QB vs. QB look at Philadelphia’s 2025 schedule.

Jalen Hurts will hopefully break the bobbing trend he has been on over the last three years: Even years he does exceptionally well (2022 and 2024 reaching the Super Bowl), and the odd year, there was a dramatic fall (2023). Last year, when we did this, Hurts came out 10-7 (he finished 12-3 as a starter and looked good). Two years ago, we had Hurts 16-1 (he went 11-6, though lost six of his last seven starts, and didn’t look good). Three years ago, we had Hurts coming out 4-13 over the...
