It's been several years since Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens were impact players. It's been nearly a decade since they arguably formed the NFL's most lethal passing tandem while leading the Philadelphia Eagles to Super Bowl XXXIX following the 2004 season.  

It's been nearly a decade since the duo arguably formed the NFL's most lethal passing tandem for the Philadelphia Eagles.  

In 13 years running a football team, any head coach is bound to have some bad picks. After all, nearly half of all first-round picks turn out to be busts. Many more never develop into the player the team thought he would be when they selected him in the first round. Andy Reid has had his fair share of poor draft picks, beginning with Freddie Mitchell in 2001—the UCLA wide receiver who was supposed to be Donovan McNabb’s go-to guy.What often...

The buzz about Donovan McNabb appearing once more in a Philadelphia Eagles uniform just won't go away. Recent comments from both McNabb and Andy Reid have led to some fans wondering if the solution to the backup quarterback question could be the guy that led the Eagles to five straight NFC title games.

With McNabb under center, the Eagles had an incredible run that led them to five NFC title games. Unfortunately, they only won one of those five games and failed to win a Super Bowl. A lot of that falls on McNabb, and with good reason. He came up small in ...  

Baltimore Ravens OLB Terrell Suggs and Philadelphia Eagles LT Jason Peters both suffered Achilles' tendon injuries this spring that could cost him their 2012 seasons. It could also cost them at the bank. Both first-team all-pros were hurt while training on ...  

Unlike the Philadelphia Eagles, who reportedly have decided to dock offensive tackle Jason Peters for his offseason Achilles ruptures -- technically regarded as non-football injuries -- Baltimore officials have made no decision about adjusting the salary of linebacker Terrell Suggs, who is due a salary of $4.9 million and roster bonus of $4.6 million for 2012.

But, McNabb should retire now.  He has had a stellar career and has nothing else to prove. When Commissioner Paul Tagliabue stated during the National Football League’s 1999 college draft that the Philadelphia Eagles with the second overall pick had ...

The National Football League, one of the biggest businesses in the United States, also wants to become one of the most environmentally-friendly companies in the world as well. Twelve of its 32 teams have instituted sustainable practices over the past decade.  

The NFL schedules are out and the complaints are in. The Eagles play four teams coming off a bye week and have to weather the storm of a brutal seven-game stretch against six playoff teams from last season starting with a Week 2 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens . The Eagles also finish the season with six of their final eight opponents with a .500 record or worse in 2011. It's a very ...

Brian Dawkins announced his retirement from the NFL Monday via ... Perhaps no defensive player that played during Dawkins' era was more respected. Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens and Dawkins are the crowned jewels of defensive leadership.  

The All-Southeastern Conference blocker visits the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend. Jones has also had private workouts with the Eagles, New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs, Atlanta Falcons, Cincinnati Bengals and the St. Louis Rams. "They like ...  

The Philadelphia Eagles made a nice move to sure up depth on the defensive line. The team agreed to a one year deal with defensive tackle Derek Landri. Landri was an afterthought during training camp in 2011. The Eagles even cut ties with him at one point. However, injuries led to his return and he ended up becoming a major player in the middle of the defensive line. During the four game winning streak that closed the season, Landri played...  

As a Philadelphia Eagles fan, I was thrilled when the Eagles acquired Nnamdi Asomugha during the 2011 offseason. Even though the star cornerback struggled to adapt to the new system, I knew he would end up being a great addition to the team. By the end of the 2011 season, Asomugha was showing us why the Eagles made the investment in him. I expect big things from him in 2012. In the meantime, fans should really appreciate what they have in this...  

On the bright side, at least Jabar Gaffney didn't use Twitter to tell an opposing fan to kill himself like he did last season after a Washington Redskins loss. Instead, the wide receiver used the messaging site to make cryptic, profane remarks about his wife, former Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Lito Sheppard and anyone in a three-area code radius who insulted him during his hour-long diatribe. Even for the Internet, it's pretty shocking...  

The Philadelphia Eagles have been pretty busy this offseason. With the NFL Draft starting on April 26, odds are that the team is done signing free agents for the time being. The Eagles have definitely upgraded their roster and they would be wise to wait until they see what the draft brings before investing in another player. That said the Eagles might not be done bringing in free agents down the road. There are still some veterans out there...  

There are some rumors floating around that the Philadelphia Eagles might be interested in trading up for the fourth pick in the draft. Reports suggested that the Cleveland Browns were dealing with the Eagles about the idea of making a deal. As an Eagles fan, I was stunned to even hear this as a rumor. I can't imagine any scenario in which the Eagles would trade up that high in the draft. The asking price would simply be too high. But rumors...  

Could Asante Samuel return to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012? Ever since the 2011 season ended, it was widely assumed that the Pro Bowl cornerback wouldn't return to the Eagles. However, the cornerback reported to the team for the first day of workouts on April 16. On top of that, he is saying he wants to remain with the Eagles. As a fan, I appreciate his positive attitude. However, I still think that the Eagles have no choice but to trade...  

The maximum penalty for cockfighting in Alabama is a meager $50, an amount that hardly seems like a deterrent against an inhumane activity that can generate thousands of dollars in profits. A bill, sponsored by Republican State Sen. Cam Ward, wants to increase that fine to $6,000 and it has support from the nation's most infamous, reformed animal fighter. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick released a statement on Monday criticizing...  

With the NFL Draft set to begin on April 26, talk about the Philadelphia Eagles moving from the number 15 pick is all over the place. Various sources have hinted that they might move all the way up to number four. Others are suggesting that they might trade down and stockpile more picks. As a fan, I think the Eagles are better off staying right where they are. There is little to gain and a lot to risk by moving from their current position...  

Are the Philadelphia Eagles really thinking about changing the way they evaluate players in the NFL Draft? According to general manager Howie Roseman, that is a definite possibility. After seemingly acknowledging that mistakes have been made in past drafts, Roseman spoke about how the team is reconsidering the way it thinks. This includes how the team evaluates character as well as the way it uses the combine to assess picks. As an Eagles fan...  

The Philadelphia Eagles have finally dealt cornerback Asante Samuel. With the draft starting on April 26, the widespread assumption was that a trade would be completed by then. As valuable as Samuel is in terms of getting interceptions, the Eagles simply couldn't take the salary cap hit given the other two star cornerbacks on the team. That said, the Eagles will need to find a guy to take his place in this draft. Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique...  

The first round of the NFL Draft will take place on Thursday, April 26. There has been endless speculation about what the Philadelphia Eagles will do with their top pick. Most expect the team to draft a defensive lineman. However, the Eagles have been linked to possibly trading up or down in the first round. They have even been linked to drafting a quarterback. That won't happen in the first round but we should always expect the unexpected...  

After trading with the Seattle Seahawks, the Philadelphia Eagles took Fletcher Cox, a versatile defensive lineman out of Mississippi State. Here's what our scouting reports said about the newest member of the E-A-G-L-E-S: Pros: Cox is the most active interior defender in the draft class. His playing speed leaps off the tape. His legs are moving fast at the snap, and he engages his blocker with a jarring hit. There are linemen who are quicker...  

Don't expect the Philadelphia Eagles to upgrade at safety and running back any time soon. According to general manager Howie Roseman, the team is content with what they have at those positions. As a fan, I am a little surprised to hear this news. While the team did find a couple of intriguing running back prospects to back up LeSean McCoy, safety seems like one hole that the team hasn't addressed. Of course, no one should worry too much about...  

With the 2012 NFL draft now a few days old, fans can really digest how each team did. In the case of the Philadelphia Eagles, the draft served as the icing on the cake in this fairly strong offseason. In 2011, the Eagles brought in big names that generated a lot of buzz. We all remember Vince Young dubbing the Eagles the "Dream Team." However, the 2012 offseason has been infinitely better despite the lack of big name signings. In fact, this...  

The Philadelphia Eagles will hold minicamp in May. After that, training camp won't be too far away. This has been a pretty strong offseason for the Eagles, but several questions still remain. Not every roster spot is settled and there are still some questions about how some players fit into the fold. In my opinion, no Eagles player is under more pressure to succeed during the offseason than Brandon Graham. The 2010 first round pick has looked...  

The Philadelphia Eagles have a starting quarterback in Michael Vick. However, few teams in the NFL need a capable backup more than Philadelphia does. The idea of Vick being healthy for a full 16 games is a wild one at best. His style of play lends itself to at least one or two missed games, so the Eagles have to be ready for that in 2012. Vince Young proved to be a disaster in 2011 and he won't be back this season. Barring a surprise signing...  

This year's May flowers here in Philadelphia have popped up to find a seriously struggling Phillies squad, so some of those flowers, like some fans, have turned towards sunny, recent Eagles changes. Of course, my first problem with discussing football in May is the fact that every single conjecture is purest speculation. ...  

The Philadelphia Eagles have found their man to replace Jason Peters. The team agreed to a five year deal with free agent tackle Demetress Bell. As an Eagles fan I was a little surprised to see the Eagles invest in a five year deal. However, the prospect of losing their All-Pro tackle for the season left them no choice but to make a move like this. In getting Bell, the Eagles have done a pretty nice job of plugging the major hole that formed...  

When things go horribly wrong for our professional teams, a fellow Philadelphian often texts me a single word: "Philadelphia." The word is self-explanatory around here. It refers to 10,000 Phillies loses. It refers to Jerome Brown killing himself in his Corvette (according to legend, while trying to light a cigarette). It refers even to the Phillies trading away Grover Cleveland Alexander and the A's losing Shoeless Joe Jackson long before our...  

The Philadelphia Eagles start OTAs on May 22 and there will be a lot of storylines heading into that first practice with this team. From the new players to the situation with LeSean McCoy, there is a lot of intrigue with this team. However, the one player that doesn't figure to be involved in any storylines this offseason is wide receiver DeSean Jackson. With a new contract in hand, everything seems to be harmonious with the playmaker. As an...  

Jason Peters is likely out for the season after rupturing his Achilles twice. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that he won't be involved in a salary dispute with the Philadelphia Eagles. Since Peters suffered both injuries outside of the supervision of the Eagles, they are not considered football injuries. That entitles the Eagles to withhold part of his salary. If he misses the entire season, the CBA has a provision that could force him...  

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs and Philadelphia Eagles tackle Jason Peters may forfeit millions in salary because both sustained injuries that fall under the "Nonfootball injury" provision of the collective bargaining agreement, according to an ESPN.com report.  

The Philadelphia Eagles have ended any drama about the LeSean McCoy contract situation. The team has agreed to a five year deal with their most important playmaker. Not only that, but McCoy is getting paid like the elite running back that he is. The deal will pay him $45 million over the five years, with a little under $21 million guaranteed. As a fan, I am thrilled that this deal is done. Now McCoy and the team can focus on what is important...  

Vince Young seems to have accepted his role as a backup quarterback since being signed to a one-year contract by the Buffalo Bills on Friday, but on Tuesday, in his first general meeting with the media since his signing, he made it clear he wasn't going to be calling the Bills a Dream Team as he did the Philadelphia Eagles.  

The Philadelphia Eagles will start OTAs on Tuesday, May 22. The majority of the team is expected to participate, meaning that the coaches will get their first look at the 2012 version of the Eagles on the field. As a fan, I believe that OTAs are important for players at every position, but that is really true for the running backs. While LeSean McCoy is the unquestioned starter, the Eagles have several decisions to make in terms of depth. Here...  

The cornerback position is going to be one to watch for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012. Prior to the 2011 season, the Eagles made headlines by bringing in Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to join Asante Samuel. Fans like me thought that the team had the best cornerback trio that the NFL had seen in a long time. Unfortunately, things didn't work out the way we wanted. DRC struggled in the slot and Asomugha struggled to adjust to...  

The Philadelphia Eagles have opened up OTAs, and several players are under more scrutiny than others. Of all the players on the team, few have as much to prove as defensive end Brandon Graham. The third year player is largely considered a bust so far, and he agrees with that assessment. Graham clearly has no reservations about describing his first two seasons with the team. Now that he is taking a more humble approach, will it work for him? It...  

Jason Babin is a vital part of the defensive line for the Philadelphia Eagles. He is a player that knows how to get to the quarterback, a skill that makes him valuable to the team. Heading into 2012, many think that the Eagles will have one of the best defensive lines in the league. The four starters are strong and the unit is loaded with depth. Babin is a big part of that but there is suddenly a fear that something bad will happen to him...  

After a rough 2011 season for the Philadelphia Eagles, much of the focus during OTAs is on the defense. The unit really struggled last season and that doomed the team to a final record of 8-8. Everyone in Philadelphia knows that there are no excuses this season, including the coaches. Coordinator Juan Castillo knows that a strong start is important for his group. Starting with OTAs, the defensive turnaround has to begin. As a fan, I believe...  

One single move by the Philadelphia Eagles front office has improved the Eagles defense in a big way. The trade of Asante Samuel to the Atlanta Falcons is already looking like a title winning move as the Eagles run through their spring practices.  

Linebacker Mychal Kendricks became the first of the Eagles' draft picks to sign a contract when he inked a four-year deal today, the team announced. The eight remaining unsigned draft picks should be under contract sooner rather than later.  

PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles eliminated a potential major training camp distraction last week when they signed running back LeSean McCoy to a five-year, $43 million contract extension that includes nearly $21 million in guaranteed money.  

The Philadelphia Eagles have found their man to replace Jason Peters. The team agreed to a five year deal with free agent tackle Demetress Bell. As an Eagles fan I was a little surprised to see the Eagles invest in a five year deal.
