Proposing one final offseason move for all 32 NFL teams – ESPN
Philadelphia Eagles: Sign wide receiver Tyler Boyd. What do you suggest for the team that has basically everything? I canāt even really suggest a contract extension here; Philadelphiaās top young player approaching free agency is Nakobe Dean, but the team already prepared for his departure by using a first-round pick on Jihaad Campbell in the most recent draft. One thing the Eagles could use is more depth at the wide receiver position, particularly a slot receiver who can open underneath and convert third downs. Keenan Allen would fit, but we have him going to the Dolphins, so how about Boyd? Boyd had just 39 catches for 390 yards with Tennessee last season, but he was an important part of the Bengalsā offense from 2016 to 2023. Jahan Dotson feels like heās in a better position to be productive in his second season in the Eaglesā offense, but Boyd would provide a strong backup in case Dotson is not.
Jalen Carter contract projection: Eagles DT could be highest-paid ever – BGN
With training camp now less than a month away, weāre inching closer to the return of meaningful NFL football. The 2025 season offers an opportunity for another Super Bowl for the Philadelphia Eagles, who retooled their roster with a combination of extensions and free agent additions over the course of the offseason to maintain their position as frontrunners in the NFC. Itās been a very aggressive offseason, with Philadelphia giving out an enormous amount of long-term money while keeping their salary cap flexibility intact. Itās a bit of a tightrope walk to maintain, but Howie Rosemanās approach to contract and salary cap management has produced undeniable success. In the spirit of that topic and given the dearth of news in the NFL over the coming weeks, why not take a look at some potential future moves for the Eagles over the coming months?
Eagles player review: QB Tanner McKee edition – PhillyVoice
What stood out about McKeeās performances was that he was prepared. Itās worth noting that even in the games McKee did not play, he dressed for all of them the last two seasons as the emergency quarterback, and he had a speaker in his helmet. āI think itās huge,ā McKee said of his opportunity to take mental reps during games. āJust being able to hear the play calls, hear whatās going through the coachesā minds, or the quarterbackās mind. Itās great just being in their environment, just getting a feel of what it would be like to be on the field. Iām walking through what I would be doing if I were out there. When you get out there you donāt want to have to think about things like, āWhereās this motion going?ā You just want to go out there and play, and so I feel like getting those mental reps helps me personally.ā Personally speaking, I know that when Iām sitting in press conferences Iāll zone out for a question or two. Iām sure many of you can relate in whatever your jobs may be. But McKee seems to take pride in being an attentive student of the game, never taking any mental reps off.
Saquon Barkley: I ānever heard a wordā from Commanders, Cowboys – PFT
āNever heard a word from the Commanders or Dallas,ā Barkley told someone who is apparently known as Janky Rondo (lay off me, Iām old) at a recent celebrity softball game. āThatās why itās BTA when I see them.ā The Commanders werenāt in position to make a run at an elite running back. The Cowboys were, especially with Tony Pollard leaving in free agency for the Titans. Dallas rightfully was criticized at the time for not showing interest in former Titans running back Derrick Henry, who was interested in playing for the Cowboys. Dallas didnāt catch much flak for not pursuing Saquon.
Eagles 2025 most important list: Reed Blankenship – NBCSP
At the ripe age of 26, Reed Blankenship is now the leader of the Eaglesā secondary. Just a few years ago, Blankenship was an undrafted rookie out of Middle Tennessee State fighting to earn his spot on the roster and his place in the NFL. Now, heās entering Year 4 of his career and Year 3 as a starter as the oldest and most experienced projected starter for a secondary that led the NFLās No. 1 defense in 2024. Veteran cornerback Darius Slay had been the leader in the Eaglesā secondary for a few seasons but Slay is gone now. And this offseason, Slay tabbed Blankenship as the guy to take his place as a leader. āItās an honor,ā Blankenship said. āI came here with Slay, into the room with Slay. Just seeing how he operates, seeing how he leads. Just trying to model my leadership role like that. You come in to the league and heās been here for years and you donāt know how heās going to be but he just came here with open arms, took me under his wing. Like I said, I learned a lot from him.ā

Jason Kelce is thrilled to announce that the 5th annual Team 62 at the Ocean Drive raised a record-breaking $1 million and counting for the Eagles Autism Foundation. The fundraiser, held at the Ocean Drive in Sea Isle City on Wednesday, June 25, featured special guests as celebrity bartenders, including current Eagles players and team legends. Since 2021, Kelceās event has raised more than $2.4 million for the Eagles Autism Foundation.
The 5 OāClock Club – Schefter on McLaurin contract extension: āThere is quite a gap between what both sides wantā – Hogs Haven
Like nearly everyone else who has discussed the McLaurin contract publicly, Schefter seems short on specifics but very clear about one thing: he has a lot of confidence that the deal will get done. Schefter: āI cannot envision the Commanders moving on from [McLaurin] no matter how disgruntled he may be. You canāt imagine that these two sides, as far apart as they are today, wouldnāt be able to somehow find a way to bridge their differences and figure out a solution. But, today, McLaurin and the Commanders are not close.ā Last month, I wasnāt pleased to hear Terry described as being āfrustratedā. Schefter now uses the word ādisgruntledā to describe McLaurin, which sounds worse.
Ride or die: Understanding the financial commitment the Cowboys have in Dak Prescott – Blogging The Boys
If youāre holding your breath for the Dak experiment to end, you might want to reconsider because youāll be blue in the face before there are any signs that a change might occur. The reality is, Prescott is this teamās ride or die for the foreseeable future, and thereās really no way around it. He looks to be in great shape, and hopefully, some of the elements that have limited him in the past wonāt be present this upcoming season. With any luck, fans will stop looking at their watch and instead savor the moment that this team still has a quarterback who gives them a fighting chance to win a Super Bowl.
Greg Cosell: Giantsā season all about developing Jaxson Dart – Big Blue View
For the New York Giants āthe whole purpose of this season is to develop Jaxson Dart,ā according to NFL analyst Greg Cosell. Cosell made that comment on the āInside the Birdsā podcast with Geoff Mosher and Adam Caplan. The Giants, of course, traded up in the 2025 NFL Draft to select Dart 25th overall in the hopes that he could become their quarterback of the future. Cosell said he sensed Dart ācould be polarizingā when he studied him prior to the draft. āDartās an interesting player. The mobility is a factor. You do have to factor that into the equation,ā Cosell said. āEverybody always says āwell heās not special.ā Well, I donāt know what they mean when they say that. Thereās only one Lamar Jackson. Thereās only one Josh Allen, who is 6-5, 240. Thereās only one [Patrick] Mahomes with his spatial awareness. So, you canāt just start saying āwell itās not special.āā
NFL trade grades for the Minkah Fitzpatrick-Jalen Ramsey deal between Dolphins and Steelers – SB Nation
The last day of June was supposed to be a quiet one in the NFL. āNot so fast my friends,ā said the Miami Dolphins and the Pittsburgh Steelers. In a blockbuster NFL trade involving more players than draft picks, the Dolphins are sending star cornerback Jalen Ramsey, tight end Jonnu Smith, and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Steelers in exchange for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a 2027 fifth-round pick. Letās grade the deal from both sides.
Finally! WNBA announces expansion team for Philadelphia – Liberty Ballers
In the words of the great LeBron James, itās about damn time. The WNBA announced Monday that the league will have three new expansion franchise, including one in Philadelphia. The Philly team will begin play in 2030, which makes perfect sense. Earlier this year, HBSE and Comcast announced theyāre working together to get a new arena built with the hopes of jointly owning a WNBA team. That arena, which will replace the Wells Fargo Center/soon-to-be-named Xfinity Mobile Arena, is set to open in 2031. According to a press release from the Sixers, HBSE will own and operate the team while Comcast has a minority stake.
