Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links …
Albert Breer’s Mailbag: How Mike McDaniel Can Get Justin Herbert in the MVP Conversation – SIFrom Ben (@samuelslim2): Where are things at with the Eagles and Jalen Carter? Is he going to hold in? Are the Eagles hesitant to pay him? … Ben, the answer is yes, they are hesitant to pay him. Philadelphia is telling you what you need to know with its actions. The Eagles have always been aggressive paying their own, in large part because they know that the earlier you do the deal, the better the price you’ll get. It’s a strategy that takes commitment from ownership, which Philly clearly has (some owners would rather keep money in their accounts until the summer), and has served the team very well over the years. So the fact that we’re into June without Jalen Carter having a deal is notable. And I’d guess if they do one now, before his fourth season as a pro, then it’d come with flexibility for the team. If Carter won’t give them that flexibility now, maybe he’ll just wait another year. Which would make this a little like the George Pickens situation in Dallas—where a team might want to see a little more from a player, just from a character perspective, before committing long term.

How many games on the Eagles’ schedule do they have a quarterback advantage in? – BGNThere is no escape from it. Jalen Hurts continues his trend. Since we started this annual activity in 2022, Hurts has done well in every even year and fallen off in every odd year. In the 2022 and 2024 seasons, for example, Hurts reached the Super Bowl, winning Super Bowl MVP in 2024. In odd years, like 2023, there was a dramatic drop off, like some would argue the 2025 season was for Hurts.
Saquon Barkley, Terrell Owens & A PERFECT Eagles Roster of Standout Seasons – PHLY Eagles PodcastHow would you put together a full roster of single seasons for the Eagles in the 2000s? Saquon Barkley’s 2024 is on the list, for sure, but which quarterback season stands the test of time? Jalen Hurts’ 2022? Michael Vick’s 2010? Carson Wentz’s 2017? Donovan McNabb’s 2004? Brandon Lee Gowton of Bleeding Green Nation joins Bo Wulf for the fun exercise, plus ANOTHER Eagles signing has opted to retire rather than play for the team. What’s up with that?
Eagles rookie NFL player comparisons: iDL Uar Bernard – PhillyVoiceIn my opinion, Mailata was significantly further along when he was drafted than Bernard is right now, at least from a scouting perspective, in that Mailata checked some boxes that Bernard hasn’t had the opportunity to yet. As such it’s really hard to compare Bernard to a player who has actually made it in the NFL. Form a pure height/weight/speed perspective, here’s how Bernard’s athletic measurables compare with Myles Garrett, the best defensive player in the NFL.

More Depth – Iggles BlitzOwnership has been a key part of the Eagles success over the past 30 years. Jeffrey has done a great job of hiring coaches in that time, with multiple Coach of the Year winners and multiple Super Bowl winners. Not many owners could say that. Chip Kelly is the worst hire and he went 26-21. That’s pretty crazy. Jeffrey came to Philly as a Boston guy and lifelong Pats fan. He had to learn about Philly and the Eagles. Julian has the advantage that he’s been a Philly/Eagles guy his whole life. That’s important. You want someone who appreciates the special culture here. You want someone who is emotionally invested in the team and not just maximizing profits. This is certainly an encouraging quote.
Who’s QB2? How should we feel about the rookies? Any more new faces? Biggest Eagles questions after offseason workouts – InquirerBut the fact that Dalton took so many reps with the second-team offense was interesting. It’s fair to wonder if McKee will be on the roster by the time camp breaks and the Eagles are crunching numbers to get to their initial 53-man roster. The Eagles used a fifth-round pick on quarterback Cole Payton after sending a seventh-round pick to Carolina for Dalton. It’s hard to imagine they will keep four quarterbacks on the roster and it’s hard to imagine them wanting to expose a fifth-round pick to waivers unless Payton has the type of uninspiring training camp sixth-round pick Kyle McCord had last year. The guess here is that Howie Roseman is hopeful McKee puts some good play on tape in the preseason and the Eagles get some draft value back in a trade for their 2023 sixth-round pick who is entering the last year of his contract.
How DeVonta Smith’s parenting style changed him and inspired others – The Athletic“He very much knows how he wants to live his life,” said Eagles wide receiver Britain Covey, who’s been around Smith for four seasons. “I think it’s fun to see him take on a responsibility like a father, because he’s very confident in how to do it. I mean that in a positive way. … He speaks with so much confidence.” It’s a combination of a strict upbringing in Amite, La., the disciplined approach that has his alarm ringing before sunrise year-round, and an unyielding personality that allows him to thrive in the NFL at 170 pounds, prompting Nick Sirianni to marvel at his toughness. “I would say I have a strong sense of how I want to do it,” Smith said. “Everybody parents different. I have a strong sense of how I want to parent.” “Yeah, he thinks he’s dad of the year,” Moorehead said.
Eagles 2026 most important list: Dontayvion Wicks – NBCSPWicks, 25, was a fifth-round pick out of Virginia in 2023 and spent his first three seasons in Green Bay. In those three years, Wicks has 108 catches, 1,328 yards and 11 touchdowns. His most productive season came as a rookie in 2023, when he had 39 catches for 581 yards and 4 touchdowns. Drops have been an issue with 14 in three years but he had just 2 in 2025. The hope is that Wicks (6-1, 206) will be able to take on a bigger role with the Eagles than he had with the Packers, who were a tad deeper at receiver. Wicks never played more than 54% of the Packers’ offensive snaps in any season over the last three years. Wicks is a solid player who can play both inside and outside. He has been somewhat productive and is also known for being able to do some of the dirty work required by a receiver in this offense “Tay Wicks, I think he has a very unique skillset of being able to get in and out of breaks and be really efficient at the line of scrimmage,” head coach Nick Sirianni said. “For a guy that I’ve coached, he has some Keenan Allen to him and to his game.”

Jordan Mailata: ‘I feel like a rookie again. It’s great’ – PhiladelphiaEagles.comJordan Mailata knew only one way and for the duration of his career as the Philadelphia Eagles’ left tackle he repeated the practice steps taught to him every day, watched film with the same intent, and went on the field and excelled. But now the Eagles have a new offensive line coach in Chris Kuper and, with that, a new way of doing things. “Chris is awesome. Chris has been a great addition to the team so far, bringing on new techniques. I think he’s very familiar with this new (offensive) scheme we have, so his experience and knowledge within the scheme is really translating from the classroom to the field,” Mailata said. “We’re learning a bunch of stuff. “I feel like a rookie again. It’s great. It’s a humbling experience and you should always be of that learning mindset. You should never think that you know everything. It’s been fun. It’s been great.”
Dolphins sign UFL offensive lineman – The PhinsiderGottlieb Ayedze was signed by the Dolphins earlier today. And no, I do not know how to pronounce that name. Ayedze originally signed with the Philadelphia Eagles after going undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft. He didn’t stick in Philadelphia, but quickly signed with the Las Vegas Raiders — spending the 2024 season on the team’s practice squad. The 6’4”, 309 lb tackle spent the earlier portion of this year (2026) as a member of the Houston Gamblers in the United Football League after being traded to Houston from the DC Defenders in March.
Patriots 2026 scouting report for CB Kindle Vildor – Pats PulpitVildor was picked up by the Mike Vrabel-led Titans as a waiver claim but was let go again after only two games. Following a brief stint on the Eagles practice squad, he joined the Lions later during the same season. He actually remained in Detroit through 2024 as well, playing a total of 26 games with the organization before leaving it for a one-year deal with the Buccaneers in 2025.
4 of the Cowboys biggest question marks entering training camp – Blogging The BoysOn offense, what about the tackles? The offense was a bright spot last year, as quarterback Dak Prescott led a potent attack that amassed the third-most yards in franchise history with 6,663.One of the shortcomings, however, was along the offensive line, particularly the play of Terence Steele and Tyler Guyton. Steele was credited with allowing six sacks in 2025, and Pro Football Focus has the tackle graded No. 55 out of 89 tackles in the NFL with a 63.6 overall grade. Tyler Guyton was worse. His PFF ranking was 65th out of all tackles with a 57.5 overall grade. If Steele and Guyton can just be closer to the league average overall as far as PFF grades go, this offensive line could be complete in terms of ability as a unit.

How Commanders QB Jayden Daniels has ramped up leadership entering 2026 – Hogs HavenJayden Daniels was asked about his individual goals for the upcoming Commanders season. The third-year quarterback’s answer was simple, to the point and didn’t include a single stat. “Win football games.” There was then a brief pause in the Wednesday afternoon press conference, as if Daniels was expected to say more. Nope. That was it. The stats don’t matter. The wins do. They normally go together, with quality quarterback totals generating team success, but we understand Daniels’ underlying message. Style points be damned. Just get the job done.
NY Giants RB promises ‘normal Cam Skattebo’ in return from ankle injury – Big Blue ViewNew York Giants running back Cam Skattebo promised on Wedneday that nothing about the violent way he plays football will change as he returns from last season’s gruesome ankle injury.
NFL teams, players who will redefine the narrative in 2026: Giants, Joe Burrow to flip script – NFL.com4) Giants become consistent winner, starting this season. John Harbaugh’s arrival brought with it a lot of hope for a franchise that has been in short supply in recent years. Since the Super Bowl victory 15 seasons ago, the Giants have only made the playoffs twice, winning one postseason game. They have failed to win more than six games over any of the past three seasons. This would not appear to be a quick fix on the surface, but the Giants do have some boxes checked already. Jaxson Dart had some real high points in his rookie season and could be even better in Year 2, assuming he can stay healthy. If Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo return healthy, there’s some exciting skill-position talent. And perhaps the offensive line won’t be a disappointing unit; it has been trending upward.
