The rumors of where Michael Vick might be playing in the 2010 season are sure to heat up when the new league year arrives on March 5th and trading is allowed…however, the Eagles’ Quarterback might have stirred up the serious speculation a little early with some statements he made on an Atlanta radio show appearance. After being asked by the host to answer a listener’s question regarding where he would like to play if he could choose anywhere in the NFL, Vick said it would be the Carolina Panthers. More »

The Eagles’ Quarterback situation has been talked about quite a lot thus far in the offseason, and while it can get a bit tiring at times to continue to hear the nonstop speculation, there is plenty of reason to discuss the ordeal. What Philadelphia does at the position has the potential to affect many teams around the league, as well as some organizations’ plans for free agency and the Draft. The latest rumor to surface regarding the QBs indicates that St. Louis brass have been in “intense internal conversations” with the Birds in hopes of creating a trade that would send Donovan McNabb to the Rams.

In what was somewhat of an expected, yet extremely stunning move, the Eagles announced the release of veteran RB Brian Westbrook (pictured). He will finish his career in Philadelphia as one of the best to ever wear midnight green, and the holder of various franchise records. Despite his success, recent injuries and a large payment total for the 2010 season caused the Birds to make a tough financial decision and rid of the aging Running Back. The move ironically comes a day after the Chargers cut their own star rusher, LaDainian Tomlinson, who was considered–like Westbrook–among the league’s elite only a few seasons ago. More »

Can you believe it? It seems like only a short time ago, Eagles football was in full swing and we were all (well, some of us) enjoying the 2009 season. But in reality, the Birds have been in the offseason for about a month now, and this year’s period of football is nearing it’s end.

The Eagles–after making a flurry of moves that included the signing of Dick Jauron and several in-house promotions–announced yet another staff addition today, officially adding Phil Savage to the team as a player personnel consultant. Although his most recent profession (a radio analyst for the Alabama college squad) is nothing to get too excited about considering he will be in a front office role with the Eagles, Savage has had his share of NFL experience. From 2005-2008, he was the General Manager of the Cleveland Browns franchise, and prior to that, he spent time as the director of player personnel and college scouting with the Baltimore Ravens, as well as some brief stints with the Browns and NCAA teams as an assistant.

Although it was not a hugely significant loss, the departure of assistant defensive coach Brian Stewart last month left a bit of a hole in the staff in Philadelphia. It seems that the Birds have found a replacement; while the Eagles have yet to officially confirm the move, it has been learned via a league source that the team intends to sign Dick Jauron as a defensive coach. The veteran NFL staff member was fired this past year during his 4th season as the Buffalo Bills’ head coach, but he has a lot of experience as a defensive-minded leader with various other clubs.

A few days ago, the Green Bay Packers‘ Aaron Rodgers gave some advice to the Eagles’ Kevin Kolb. Both players, who are young and promising Quarterbacks, can relate to each other, and primarily the only difference between the two (besides the fact that Kolb plays in Philadelphia) is that Rodgers has been given his opportunity as a starter. After several years of sitting on the bench behind the legendary Brett Favre, the Packer got his chance to shine; Kolb is looking to get a similar shot behind Donovan McNabb, yet continues to act as a team player and be respectful of the club’s wishes.

Earlier in the month when Tom Heckert departed Philadelphia to Cleveland to act as the Browns’ General Manager, it was announced that Howie Roseman had been chosen as the replacement for the role within the Eagles’ organization. So, while it was already known, the Birds decided to release a statement today that officially gave him the job. Now in his 11th year with the team, Roseman has spent plenty of time preparing and doing work that is required in the managerial spot. He has been the Eagles’ leader of player personnel the past 2 years, and before that, worked at various positions, including the role of a salary cap specialist. More »

While rumors and speculation that suggest a trade involving Donovan McNabb will happen have been cooled down a bit by the Quarterback’s statements himself, as well as a continued display of confidence by the Philadelphia organization, it’s still enjoyable this early in the offseason to take a look at various possibilities. And one of the most talked-about college players currently preparing for this weekend’s Senior Bowl is the particular subject of this article based on a “possibility”. More »
