Yeah, the rumor was either Eagles or Stillers.Morning rumors on the airwaves are saying the Eagles are one of two teams that could open the season on Thursday night in Foxboro.

One of the Houston talk show hosts said this morning that the only think that would have made the Tebow signing better is if the Eagles had signed him on Easter Sunday. I laughed at that.Tebow has already been in the weight room an hour this morning.

Philadelphia was one of three teams Matthews visited publicly before the draft along with Carolina and Tennessee. He worked out for four or five other teams, but it was evident early on that the Eagles would be in play
Not sure they were official visits. Official visits are where they do medical testing and interviews.How accurate are these anyway? Just curious because I know for sure Beau Allen was there. I posted an article about him coming and Chip using a remote control car during the visit
Matthews was here as well

Just read a tweet that leaked Eagles finish the season against the Giants at home.They leaked the first 3 games of the Giants. (@Dal Sunday night, ATL, WAS Thurs night)
That means the Eagles open Sunday during the day or Monday night. And they don't play the Giants until Week 4 at the earliest.
Hopefully this year that game matters.Just read a tweet that leaked Eagles finish the season against the Giants at home.They leaked the first 3 games of the Giants. (@Dal Sunday night, ATL, WAS Thurs night)

yep 6 of them (including thanksgiving)Prime time city for us!
Didn't you read my last post? haha@BoopStats: Eagles will go 34 consecutive days (Oct. 12-Nov. 14) without playing anything but night games ...
Yep.Did they release the pre-season schedule as well?
No its the Jets. No one plays a division rival in the preseason.Yep.Sun Aug 16th vs Indy 1pmDid they release the pre-season schedule as well?
Sat Aug 22nd vs Balt 7pm
Sat Aug 29 @ GB 8pm
Thurs Sept 3 @ NYG 7pm
Seems weird we'd play the Giants in the preseason. We usually play the Jets in week 4 of Preseason so maybe that was a typo.

No extended road trips as well. I like that it's two home, two away, etc. With a three game homestand for 13, 14, and 15. Nice.@EliotShorrParks: After traveling 17,530 miles in 2014 regular season, Eagles only go 6,820 miles this year. #SportsScience #Eagles
I did a mock for fun, and he didn't make it to the first round.Bigboy10182000 said:It's not interesting. He can't cover and will be exposed severely in the NFL. I wouldn't be shocked if he's not even on our board.
I don't know if one year's worth of data is necessarily conclusive.Interesting

If you're the Browns why not just give up 12, 19 and 2016 1st for Mariota? Bradford may only stay there 1 year AND may not even stay healthy.Newest one I heard today:
Browns- Give up: Pick 12, Pick 19. Get: Bradford, Pick 20, Eagles 2016 3rd Rounder, Titans 2016 2nd Rounder
Eagles- Give up: Bradford, Pick 20, 2016 1st Rounder, 2016 3rd Rounder. Get: Pick 2
Titans- Give up: Pick 2, 2016 2nd Rounder. Get: Pick 12, Pick 19, 2016 Eagles 1st Rounder
Means Chip spent Foles + 2016 1st + 2016 2nd for the move up for Mariota.
(also we would improve from swapping 3rds, giving up ours and getting St. Louis' back)

I wouldn't be surprised if it gets knocked back to 6 or so on appeal. Either way, he's definitely not playing in Week 2.Deamon said:Greg Hardy suspended for first TEN games of 2015! Holy. Ok now I'm happy we play Dallas both times before week 11.
Ya I'm pretty sure his appeal will drop it. I'm hoping it drops to 8 games so that ours will be his last missing game.I wouldn't be surprised if it gets knocked back to 6 or so on appeal.

Chip is still in wait and see mode. Supposedly that's why Cox and Kendricks haven't received deals either. They don't want to have long term contracts for potential trade pieces on draft day. Once it passes and we don't have Mariota, expect a deal for all of them pretty quick unless he's hellbent on getting rid of ALL of Howie's players.It's reported we aren't talking contract with Bradford. Worried if we don't get that done before the season, but maybe we're waiting to see what plays out at the draft. Would for sure give him more leverage if we don't draft a QB though.
