A little refresher for y'all pic.twitter.com/yv4DQV18gH
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) March 22, 2024
After signing 13 players over the last few weeks the Eagles have found the solution to most of their 20 free agents this off-season.
Spotrac has the Eagles at a projected $10.5M in cap space, so they might be done spending as they’ll still have to sign all their rookies following the draft. If they’re looking to open up more cap space, the ..read more

The 2024 offseason is now underway for the Philadelphia Eagles, with the bulk of free agents already gone. With the upcoming draft, they have some choices to make on how to fix their roster.
What are the Eagles’ current strengths? What are their weaknesses?
Strength: Offensive Line
Yes, even with Jason Kelce’s expected yet still gut-wrenching retirement, the Eagles are still strong at their offensive line. It shows how spoiled they’ve been for a long, long time.

Sure, the Eagles’ interior offensive line took a big hit with the loss of Kelce, but it will serve as a ch ..read more

Imhotep’s Third Straight PIAA Championship Was Sweeter Than Ever.
If you visit Imhotep Institute Charter High School in Philadelphia — whatever you do — don’t reference The Mummy movie trilogy with Brendan Fraser. The basis for the name isn’t the film according to the website. The actual Imhotep was an Ancient Egyptian Chancellor, was a high priest of the Sun God Ra at Heliopolis, and an architect.
This year, the Imhotep Charter High School PIAA Class 5A Basketball Championship had additional meaning.
After all, it’s not all of the time that a high school basketball program goes from 2A to 5A ..read more

As the season winds down to the last 10 games, the Sixers find themselves firmly in the 8th seed with little concern to go lower, and some optimism to move up.
The Play-in Tournament
For those of you still trying to figure out the play-in tourney rules, the winner of the 7 vs 8 seed game becomes the official 7th seed in the playoff bracket. The loser then plays the winner of the 9 vs 10 seed game to determine who becomes the official 8th seed for the playoffs.
Right now, it looks like the Sixers will be playing in the 7 vs 8 game to hopefully become the seventh seed who will most likely face t ..read more

Howie Roseman has been busy this offseason, racking up nine moves in the first week alone. The guru himself isn’t done yet, but we are taking a deep breath in the second week of the league’s free agency window to mull over his best moves. After all, the future may be bright but it’s the present that shines the light.
3. Adding Saquon Barkley
If only to piss off Giants fans, this was a fantastic move. Haters will point to the value of the running back position (or lack thereof), injury history, and … DeMarco Murray. For starters, Barkley’s deal is remarkably affordable given the talent: Christi ..read more

The Eagles Went Shopping Last Week. What were They Shopping For Exactly?
Amid a Covid restricted 2020 Draft, the Eagles sat in a remote setting ready to make a second round selection. This pick, would not be an addition to the arsenal for franchise quarterback Carson Wentz, a lockdown cornerback, or a defensive end, or that linebacker that the fanbase wanted so badly.
This selection would land them Jalen Hurts, a top college quarterback prospect.
As a four-star high school recruit from Rivals.com, Jalen Hurts flourished under coach Nick Saban. In the 2018 College Football Championship Game, Hu ..read more
