3 players who make sense for the Eagles at the trade deadline, 1.0 - PhillyVoice
Dalvin Tomlinson (30), DT, Browns (6’3, 325). Tomlinson is a player the Eagles know well, as they have faced him 10 times over his eight-year NFL career with the Giants, Vikings, and Browns. He is a very durable player, as he has only missed five games due to injury over his career. He has played in 119 NFL games, all as a starter. With the Browns in 2024, Tomlinson has...

No need for a big splash trade for the Eagles this time around

No need for a big splash trade for the Eagles this time around

Adding depth to a team playing very well right now may be the wisest course of action.

What a difference two weeks make.

Coming off the bye, the 2-2 Eagles’ future was murky. They didn’t look particularly good in either of their two wins, and their two defeats were disheartening and ominous. The pass rush wasn’t getting home, the offense was uneven, they couldn’t score early and the defense was porous. It looked like Nick Sirianni’s tenure as head coach was in immediate jeopardy if things didn’t turn around.

But since their Week 6 win over Cleveland, the Eagles have...

Cam Robinson trade: Jaguars ship out starting left tackle ahead of Eagles game

Cam Robinson trade: Jaguars ship out starting left tackle ahead of Eagles game

Philadelphia’s Week 9 opponent is down another key player, this time by choice.

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to face a Jacksonville Jaguars team that might be missing multiple starting wide receivers this weekend.

The Jags will also be without starting left tackle Cam Robinson after trading him to the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday evening.

With a 2-6 record, the Jags are clearly sellers ahead of next Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline. And with Robinson playing on the last year of his contract, Jacksonville opted to get some compensation now for a player who could leave in free agency. The Vikings,...

Eagles release newly acquired practice squad player

Eagles release newly acquired practice squad player

Philadelphia cut him less than a week after he originally joined the team.

The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced a change to the practice squad on Tuesday evening:

  • DT Siaki Ika was released.

The Eagles only signed Ika to their practice squad last week. And that was a couple weeks after the Cleveland Browns cut him from their roster.

It’s possible Ika will return at some point; the Eagles have made a habit of shuffling practice squad players in and out. See: Caden Sterns ... who the team might even add back to the mix after opening a spot with...

Saquon Barkley on Nick Sirianni: “I’m happy that he’s our head coach”

Saquon Barkley on Nick Sirianni: “I’m happy that he’s our head coach”

For all the noise about Eagles’ head coach Nick Sirianni this season, as the team secured their third win in a row coming out of the bye week, fans are starting to soften their “Fire Nick” chants. And while the fans, and media, always have an opinion, the group that truly matters, his players, have never waivered in their support of the head coach.

Saquon Barkley sat down with The Pivot Podcast following his huge game against the Giants, and explained how he came to Philly a little hesitant about working with the head coach who had previously taunted the...

NFL Week 8 Under Review: It’s Too Soon to Give Up on Anthony Richardson - The Ringer
For the first time this season, the Eagles look like contenders. Believe me, I’m as surprised as you are. After Nick Sirianni celebrated a win by barking at fans in Week 6, I was ready to bury this team. Even after a Week 7 win against the Giants, the offense left me questioning the Eagles’ ceiling. But on Sunday against the Bengals, the Eagles delivered their most impressive...

Nick Sirianni doesn’t know if he’s going to keep the shaved head:

Listen, I’m going to need Mrs. Sirianni to suck it up for a little longer. Only until after February. I’m sorry the Thanksgiving and Christmas pictures are going to look like shit, but...

Trevon Diggs gets snarky after the Cowboys’ loss to the 49ers

Trevon Diggs gets snarky after the Cowboys’ loss to the 49ers

The Cowboys seem to be imploding after their Week 8 SNF loss to the Niners.

There are few things nearly as sweet as an Eagles win, but seeing the Cowboys completely implode comes close. Considered a playoff contender at the beginning of the season, owner Jerry Jones’ terrible roster management has created a team that is one dimensional and not nearly as talented as they were in 2023. They also now have just a 12 percent chance of making the postseason.

On Sunday night, in a primetime game, the Cowboys were embarrassed against the San Francisco 49ers, and the players...

Which Play Was Better: The Dallas Special, or the New York Special?

The Giants lost to the Steelers on Monday Night Football to fall to 2-6 and last place in the NFC East. They tried this two-point conversion in the fourth quarter:

“You want New York New York? Yeah let’s do it!”

This could be the greatest play in Giants history. Maybe the greatest play in the history of the division. I was watching this on repeat and it reminded me of the play that ended the Cowboys season two years ago. Remember that? The “Dallas Special?” When Zeke Elliott snapped...
