Get to know Philly’s new running back.

The Philadelphia Eagles added to their backfield by selecting Will Shipley in the 2024 NFL Draft. In order to learn even more about Philly’s new running back, I reached out to SB Nation’s Clemson blog: Shakin The Southland. Tigers writer Ryan Kantor was kind enough to answer my questions.

1) Can you recap his college career?

*Will Shipley was a five-star prospect out of suburban Charlotte that came to Clemson just as Travis Etienne was departing. Unfortunately, his first year at Clemson coincided with the start of what has become a three-year...

New York Giants Super Bowl-winning linebacker Kawika Mitchell recently took to his social media account to thank friend and former teammate, Amani Toomer, for saving his life.

Mitchell posted pictures of himself and Toomer from four years ago and in recent days, contrasting his physical and mental state during both periods.

*My brother @amanitoomer_81 doesn’t really know the impact these two moment had on my life. The top picture WAS… dying, depressed, unhealthy, recluse, addicted. The bottom picture IS… living, being, healthy, connected, recovered. Yesterday marked 4 years of sobriety from all things (minus ice cream). Today I experience...

You obviously love football. That is why you are here. Namely, you love the Dallas Cowboys.

I’ve always said that the best part about Blogging The Boys is the community and that the Cowboys tie us all together. Obviously we are all different people and come from different places and have different interests but that one bond unites us.

For the purposes of today’s open thread we are curious about other elements of your football fandom. I assume that on some level you enjoy college football and for...

It has been 19 years since an NFC East team won back-to-back division titles.

The 2024 Dallas Cowboys have a chance to end that streak.

Despite an off-season that disappointed many fans and pundits, the ingredients are in place for the Cowboys to repeat as division champions.

In the 2023 season, we saw a young and talented roster put up a 12-5 record.

They did fall short in heartbreaking fashion in the playoffs, but the regular season [featured...

2024 offseason grades for all 32 NFL teams: Eagles, Chiefs and Bears among teams to get As - PFF
The Eagles are offseason dominators: Amid several significant departures, including two retirements, Philadelphia drafted well and signed key players in free agency, including C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Bryce Huff, Devin White and DeVante Parker. [...] PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: A. I don’t know how the Eagles continue to do it. They lost Kevin Byard and D’Andre Swift this offseason, but Byard wasn’t as impactful as they hoped he would be...

The quarterback market is a dangerous place to be without a plan in place.

The market has yet to prove otherwise. As far as the quarterback position is concerned, the price only goes up. Reality proved this yet again this past week when the Detroit Lions paid Jared Goff. Ultimately Goff’s deal was of the four-year variety for $212M with $170M guaranteed.

Detroit paying Goff was not exactly unexpected in terms of potential offseason moves across the NFL, but it was a teeny bit of a surprise. Things seemed somewhat stable at the quarterback position with no real obvious threat...

How many games will the Cowboys win or lose in 2024? We take a way too early look at how it may shake out.

It has been an interesting offseason for the Dallas Cowboys to say the least. With questions surrounding their moves, or lack thereof, coupled with looming contracts that need answers, it has been a whirlwind to keep up with since the sad conclusion of the 2023 season.

Despite all that, the slate is set for 2024 and the Cowboys are expected to step up and execute. It is fascinating to ponder what they will look like and...

After starting last season 10-1, the Philadelphia Eagles suffered an epic collapse that culminated with them losing in the wild-card round to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

But they are poised to bounce back this year with the addition of star running back Saquon Barkley and a new defensive coordinator in Vic Fangio.

They will start the 2024 regular season on Sept. 6 versus the upstart Green Bay Packers, and while the Packers have a good shot at making the playoffs again this year, the Eagles are the most bet on team in the league for Week 1, per ESPN BET....

The mail’s here!

Anthony Viola asks: My question:

The DJ discussion is as polarizing as they come.

So here’s my question, you are the GM of the Giants, in your opinion what do you do with DJ after the 2022 season, contract wise (hindsight is not allowed, lol)? Term and cap hit.

IMO, the Giants did the correct thing, given the circumstances, but I want your take on the situation.

Ed says: Anthony, I have been clear since the moment the contract was signed how I feel about this, and nothing — good or bad — has changed my opinion....

The lastest buzz around the Cowboys as the weekend commences.

Cowboys on Lamb’s work ethic: ‘He’s getting ready’ - Patrik Walker, DallasCowboys.com

Dallas knows that CeeDee Lamb is doing everything to be prepared for the season.

“[The absence] doesn’t matter right now,” said offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer ahead of the start of voluntary OTAs. “CeeDee’s a pro. He’s going to know what to do. I know Dak and the guys have some communication with him.

“We know he’s taking care of business, and when he gets back here, we’ll certainly be able to find ways to...
