Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links …
Predicting the NFL’s 7 best offenses in 2025 – SB Nation 2) Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles are right up there with Baltimore when we discuss most talented rosters in the league, and even though there’s a potential step back looming with the hire of Kevin Patullo to replace Kellen Moore as the OC, this roster on the offensive side poses too many questions for the defense to answer. The best offensive line in the league is still buoyed by tackles Jordan
Mailata and Lane Johnson, and their ability to create lanes (no pun intended) for RB Saquon Barkley make this offense one of the most imposing in the league. Barkley did get the added benefit of playing behind the Eagles’ OL, but there wasn’t a more explosive back in the NFL with that space. QB Jalen Hurts has been the topic of discussion for the ENTIRE offseason, but he is a talented downfield passer who can put passes in the area of WRs AJ Brown and Devonta Smith. There’s just too many questions for defenses to answer with the Eagles’ offense, which is why I have them at 2.
Ranking Every NFL Offense for 2025 – The Ringer
7) Philadelphia Eagles. […] So what’s different this year? The Eagles will have at least one new offensive lineman, with Tyler Steen replacing Mekhi Becton at right guard. And Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson could miss time or be less effective as he recovers from a knee injury. The Eagles also have a new play caller, with Kevin Patullo replacing Kellen Moore. In terms of regression, the big thing to keep an eye on is turnovers. After a flurry of giveaways early in the season, Hurts prioritized protecting the ball over everything else. As a result, the Eagles saw just 5.6 percent of their drives result in turnovers over the whole season—the second-lowest rate in the NFL and a number that could be hard to sustain in 2025. The bottom line: There’s just too much talent here for the Eagles offense not to be good, unless they get crushed by injuries. If they can find more consistency in the passing game, they could easily outperform this ranking.
Eagles Training Camp Practice Notes: Jalen Hurts finishes strong – BGN
DARIUS COOPER IS GOOD AT FOOTBALL: The undrafted rookie wide receiver has had such an impressive summer. He went from being a long shot to make the team to being a lock to make the roster. Before the team period even began, Cooper made a really nice one-handed grab in wide receiver drills. Then he made a highlight leaping grab in traffic while working on the first-team offense. Then he caught a touchdown pass to beat Adoree’ Jackson. Cooper has quickly earned Hurts’ trust and respect. As such, the feeling here is that Cooper deserves to see targets in the offense this season. No disrespect to Jahan Dotson, who’s had a nice offseason, but Cooper has been the Eagles’ third best wide receiver … only behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. In all likelihood, Dotson will begin the season as WR3. Cooper still has to prove his worth in regular season games. And his chances to do so as WR4, assuming he’s that high on the depth chart, will be limited. Just don’t be surprised when he makes the most of them.
25 Eagles training camp questions, answered – PhillyVoice
UPDATE: Jalen Hurts had some really good practices, but there were also some days — particularly in joint practices against the Browns — when the offense looked sluggish. He went through most of the summer without his favorite target, A.J. Brown, and he was competing all summer against an outstanding defense, so that was part of equation when the offense didn’t always look crisp. I do think he has come such a long way from what he was as a passer three to four years ago.
Camp Closes – Iggles Blitz
Stoutland Junior College – It sure feels like Stoutland University has taken a step back this summer. The new students have not been getting A’s or even B’s. Jeff Stoutland might say “My kingdom for Jack Driscoll”. Stout is a great coach and might end up figuring this out, but there are more questions than usual. One player who did get an A is Tyler Steen. He will be the starting RG and had a good showing this summer. Steen gives the team arguably the best starting OL in the league. Depth is the question.
Jihaad Campbell, Moro Ojomo among the biggest winners at Eagles training camp; Kelee Ringo misses his chance – Inquirer
Winners: Jihaad Campbell. Vic Fangio didn’t think Campbell would be ready for camp coming off shoulder surgery, so his surprising availability at the start might have raised expectations. But the rookie delivered, flashing the traits that made him a first-rounder. If Campbell ends up the starter at linebacker, it won’t be because Jeremiah Trotter Jr. lost the competition. He went out and claimed it. Darius Cooper. The undrafted rookie wasn’t a secret to the Eagles, even if they needed to see how the Tarleton State product fared against stiffer opposition. But it took a few weeks for Cooper to emerge among a crop of receivers. He hasn’t yet locked down a spot on the 53-man roster, but there’s little doubt the team views him as a keeper.
Saquon Barkley Opens Up About 2,000 Yards, the Super Bowl and What’s Next – SI
Saquon Barkley wants you to forget about this so-called running backs resurgence. Instead, he’d like to reframe the positional narrative entirely, adding overlooked significance, despite recent and pervasive acceptance of the exact opposite notion: that NFL executives had/have given up on ballcarriers as anything more than necessary but disposable parts—the football equivalent of takeout containers or medical gowns. Barkley presents Barry Sanders, his favorite back, as a counter to that argument. The creativity! That flair! The turning, full 360-degree pivots, before running the wrong way, on purpose, all simply to create a window, just a sliver of open field, to dance through and dart past. This style wasn’t coachable, and that’s what still appeals to Barkley. “Saquon tries to mimic [Sanders],” says Micah Parsons, the Cowboys’ All-Pro pass rusher and Barkley’s close friend. “How he carries it. Like him.” In Sanders and Barkley, Parsons sees differing styles, the cannot-be-replicated kind, borne from genetics, training and mastery of a specific, not-endangered skill set.
2025 NFL season: Ranking all 32 teams by watchability – ESPN
5. Philadelphia Eagles. Those who find the tush push a deplorable bastardization of football and an undeserving cheat code would not rank the Eagles this highly. I, however, am enlightened. I find the tush push a hilariously entertaining play, if not just for the obnoxious celebrations of the Eagles’ offensive line when it once again executes. But it’s also so entertaining because of how geared up the opposing defense is — how certain it is of what’s coming and how desperate it wants to be the team that foils it. There’s no moment in football quite like the pre-snap tension of The Brotherly Shove. Of course, that’s only a small percentage of the Eagles’ plays. The vast majority are enormous Saquon Barkley runs, heroic Jalen Hurts go-balls to A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith, or a key defensive stop from Jalen Carter or Cooper DeJean or Zack Baun or Quinyon Mitchell or Nolan Smith Jr. or so on and so forth.
A thought on all 90 Eagles leaving 2025 training camp – NBCSP
CB Adoree’ Jackson: It looks like Jackson might have simply outlasted the rest of the cornerbacks fighting for that starting job, at least for now. Despite some intriguing comments about Jackson from Vic Fangio earlier this summer, Jackson got more work at that CB2 position than any of the other competitors. Jackson had a better training camp than Kelee Ringo, but it’s probably not a great sign that the 29-year-old might have to start for the Eagles in 2025.
Why Eagles trading for QB bust would be a bet worth taking – NJ.com
He only completed 47.7% of his passes last season, which was the lowest in the league. The Colts also benched him for tapping out of a game for being tired. There are a lot of problems to fix. Can the Eagles actually turn Anthony Richardson’s career around? Maybe not. But it could be worth trying. The upside outweighs the risk. Richardson has three years left on his rookie deal, including a fifth-year option. Indianapolis could trade him soon or risk him being a distraction. Ultimately, the Eagles probably won’t trade for Richardson, but it wouldn’t be surprising if they considered it. Sixth-round rookie Kyle McCord hasn’t played well enough during training camp to be viewed as McKee’s successor. He’s not even a lock to make the 53-man roster. The Eagles may have to go out and find another backup QB before the 2026 season anyway.
SEPTA warns of transit chaos for Philadelphia Eagles home opener amid service cuts – 6ABC
SEPTA’s upcoming service reductions are set to begin this weekend, and while daily commuters will feel the impact, officials are sounding the alarm for a major event just weeks away: the Philadelphia Eagles’ first home game on Sept. 4. Testifying before a Pennsylvania House Democratic Policy Committee hearing in Philadelphia, SEPTA General Manager Scott Sauer warned that the NFL opener could be severely affected by the cuts. “The opener on September 4th, just to put it bluntly, will be chaotic,” Sauer said. SEPTA expects significant delays for fans traveling to and from Lincoln Financial Field, especially after the game.
2025 NFL 53-man roster deadline: Cut candidates, trade targets – NFL.com
KENNY PICKETT: Joe Flacco won the Week 1 starting job, and Pickett currently is listed as the backup. That certainly could be how it goes to start the season, and it wouldn’t shock anyone if the Browns kept four QBs. Injuries to Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders have complicated the entire operation and projection. But if the Browns feel good about the health of Gabriel and Sanders, and Pickett suffers no setbacks in his recovery from the hamstring injury that short-circuited his pursuit of the top gig in Cleveland, it could open up a spot for Pickett to be moved. Keeping him around would only slow the development of their two 2025 draft picks.
How skin cancer turned Tanner McKee into a sunscreen-drenched, hat-clad QB – The Athletic
Tanner McKee removed his baseball cap and revealed the long scar on his forehead. In games, the helmet obscures the scar. On the sideline and in public interviews, the cap hides it from view. Even before practices, when he’s stretching with his teammates, he wears a bucket hat. You wouldn’t know it’s there. But McKee knows.
McKee, 25, is the Eagles’ No. 2 quarterback. He’s become so valuable to the team that they traded last year’s backup to promote him. He’s on his way to becoming a future starter in the NFL. He’s also a cancer survivor. McKee scans the scar on his forehead each morning when he’s styling his hair. It’s a daily reminder, before he lathers himself with SPF 70 sunscreen and dresses in a long-sleeve T-shirt, of sitting in the hospital at age 16. That’s when his mother noticed a new dark mole on his hairline with suspiciously uneven boundaries. They scheduled an appointment with a dermatologist. Six moles were removed from his back, chest, and forehead for biopsy.

3 Cowboys players who could be surprise roster cuts – Blogging The Boys
RB Miles Sanders: Despite the Cowboys lack of clarity at the RB position, Miles Sanders time in Dallas looks to be short-lived. Javonte Williams is obviously the RB1 after being held out with the rest of the starters in the preseason, and Jaydon Blue receiving first-team reps prior to his ankle/heel is a pretty good indication he’ll be the primary backup. That leaves Sanders on the outside looking in competing with Phil Mafah and any other RB Dallas could potentially claim off of waivers or add after roster cuts. The hopes of his recapturing his Pro Bowl form hasn’t materialized, which should make him a surprise cut in the favor of another RB with more upside.
Giants aren’t trading Jameis Winston — assistant GM Brandon Brown – Big Blue View
Despite all of the interest from other teams in Jameis Winston, it does not appear that the veteran New York Giants quarterback is going anywhere. “I appreciate people that are interested, but Jameis is a New York Giant,” assistant general manager Brandon Brown said on Tuesday. “He wants to be here and he wants to be here for the long haul. Teammates love him, his preparation process, whether it’s the off-field things that he does in terms of community relations, Bible study, things in the locker room, galvanizing the group together. He’s been comic relief, but he’s also been a really good example of how to be a pro in handling your business in terms of prehab, rehab, postgame care. So, I’m happy he’s here, and he’s going to continue to do those things.” So, whether he is QB2 or QB3 this season, it would seem Winston is staying put.
