Let’s go to Philadelphia Eagles connections …
This is not a photoshop, keep in mind that Brandon, recovering from Achilles surgery, doesn’t have to be playing football anytime soon. It went from 350 to 295. https://t.co/9r8XrkSk9b

It was on purpose, I think it was kind of a discipline challenge for himself. He expects to gain maybe half the weight as he gets closer to playing again, but he wants to play a little lighter and maybe avoid strain on the joints and ligaments, given his recent history of injuries. https://t.co/m6l8WlC1Ar

NFL GM ranking: Howie Roseman finishes in top four – BGN
After previously ranking NFL head coaches, Rotoworld’s Pat Daughtery is back with his annual GM ranking. This activity is generally fairly fair and insightful, so definitely read the entire article. As for the Philadelphia Eagles, Howie Roseman is the fourth-best general manager in the league. This is a drop of two points from last year.

2020 NFL Team Preview Series: Philadelphia Eagles – PFF
The Eagles boast one of the best offensive lines in the league every year and finished No.1 at the end of the 2019 regular season. It will be hard to repeat that feat without star left tackle Jason Peters and PFF goalie. All-Pro Brandon Brooks. However, Peters now moves on to guard, where it will be a guessing game as to how smooth the transition is. The Eagles anticipated Peters’ decision by drafting Andre Dillard in the first round in 2019, and he is locked down as a starter after scoring 59.7 out of 337 shots as a rookie. For prospect, Peters allowed just 25 presses of 602 pass blocking attempts, while Dillard allowed 25 of 183 attempts – so that could be an adjustment for Philadelphia on the left tackle. The good news is Dillard’s record in Washington state, where his pass blocking rating on true passing sets is the fifth best we’ve seen from any college player migrating to the NFL.
Eagles Training Camp 2020 preview: Linebacker – PhillyVoice
In April, we took a close look at Brown’s 2019 season, and it wasn’t pretty. Most closely following the Chargers think Brown has had a very promising rookie season, but injuries and regime change may have held back his growth. The Eagles signed him to a one-year contract worth $ 1,047,500, of which $ 550,000 is guaranteed. It is very good. Yes, the 2019 tape is clearly bad, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad signing. Brown has good speed, making him a viable contributor for special teams, with some advantage in sub-package coverage due to his athleticism. It will be on the Eagles (and Brown) to redeploy his potential.
Eagles’ 53-man projection shows little experience behind Carson Wentz – ESPN +
RETURN (4): Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Corey Clement, Mike Warren. This unit feels like an unfinished product. While the Eagles enjoy their backing squad, which also includes some promising prospects in Elijah Holyfield and Adrian Killins Jr., they have explored the veteran market this offseason and have shown interest in Devonta Freeman and LeSean McCoy. The bet here is that they will add insurance by the start of the regular season.
4 topics to discuss during the countdown to training camp – PE.com
Beyond Jackson and Jeffery, what do we really know about the receptor body? Greg Ward took a big step forward last season from the slot machine and should be even better in 2020 as a reliable wide receiver and road runner. And then… what, exactly? The Eagles have a first-round pick in Jalen Reagor that they need to bring in quickly. They need to see if veteran Marquise Goodwin is on the list. Same thing with the two other draft picks – John Hightower and Quez Watkins. Second-year JJ Arcega-Whiteside has had a great offseason and has been recognized by the team for his conditioning and preparation. Deontay Burnett and Robert Davis hope to build from their time on the roster last season. Shelton Gibson tries to put it all together. There are 13 receivers on the roster and the Eagles will likely keep five, as they have in the past. This, like everything else, is subject to change.
Eagles Training Camp Battles 2020: Determining Receiver Locations – NBCSP
I guess but I think Jeffery will start the season on the PUP roster. This recovery of Lisfranc can take a long time and if it will not be ready, it will not be worth saving a place for it in the list. Eventually he can come back. Due to the numbers crisis, I think there’s a good shot that the Eagles won’t be able to keep the two late-round rookies, so for now I’m going to give the choice advantage the higher in the draft. So here’s what I have now before camp: DeSean Jackson, Jalen Reagor, JJ Arcega-Whiteside, Greg Ward, Marquise Goodwin, John Hightower.
Terrell Owens calls 94WIP without being asked to discuss what happened with the Eagles – 94WIP
“So I had to get this waiver signed to play in this Super Bowl.” Let’s go to training camp. My agent at that time looked at my contract and said that I was outperforming, and where I was statistically and among the recipients he felt like I should have been one of the top two, top three recipients paid and I felt the same. We didn’t go to the media to try to make it into a me forcing management to pay me or anything. We went in camera to try to talk about it and see if we could work something out. This does not happen. At the moment, I don’t know who to believe, whether it’s the management or my agent since I’m no longer with Rosenhaus. I was told management leaked it to make me look bad that I was eager to want a new contract. It was going to turn the fans against me. From what I understand, that’s what the approach was. “
Potential defensive acquisitions the Cowboys could still make before the season begins – Blogging The Boys
Jadeveon Clowney. Of course, this is far from being given the ceiling situation, but where there is a will, there is a way. We all know the Cowboys have said they haven’t really taken a look at Clowney thanks to his hefty price tag for his services. With options dwindling, Clowney’s price likely fell and the Cowboys could put footers to gauge his interest. The Cowboys may also want to take a look at star defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, who has said he’s unsure whether he’ll show up to training camp because of the virus, his wife is expecting another child. Both parties can find the same interest and eventually come to an agreement. The Cowboys could strengthen their pass rush and Clowney can replenish his stock. Win, win for both sides. Of course, it would take some very creative maneuvering from Stephen Jones to make it happen.
Bucs adds former QB Thad Lewis as coach – PFT

NFL will continue to track data in helmets, crampons and mouthguards amid COVID-19 – The Athletic
In recent years, a helmet safety ranking table has hung on the wall of NFL locker rooms, and the league now boasts that 99% of players wear helmets that pass the NFL safety tests. The rankings were developed after years of capturing injury field data and laboratory testing. Using the data collected this year and subsequent seasons, this poster might even have cousins in the future: a poster ranking hard hats by position and another ranking cleats. “So you can see that over the next year… job specific helmets are available,” said Jennifer Langton, senior vice president of health and safety innovation for the NFL. “But our goal for the league office is happening now, once we have … conclusive data, we always take ourselves where the science takes us, so that we can offer that to the manufacturers.” Next year, 2021, is where we really have hope (players will be wearing these helmets). “
Some thoughts on contracts, the cap and the pandemic – Over The Cap
The NFL and NFLPA are still negotiating the economics of the season affected by covid and there are many different opinions on certain issues within the ABC and the impact on players and the league, so I thought that I might as well give my opinion on some of the topics. this should be discussed now regarding the contracts and the cap.
More people in the United States are hospitalized with Covid-19 than ever – Vox
