by Jimmy Kempski

Jeffrey Lurie optimistic about the Eagles wearing Kelly green in 2020

by Jimmy Kempski

In his yearly press conference at the NFL Owners Meetings, Jeffrey Lurie fielded his yearly question about whether or not the team will occasionally wear Kelly green jerseys, and he sounded optimistic for the first time since the league implemented a senseless rule that teams cannot wear two different helmet colors during the season.

Soooooo, are the Eagles going to add a good running back or not?

by Jimmy Kempski

After two weeks of free agency, the Philadelphia Eagles have not yet addressed the most glaring hole on their roster, the running back position. Instead, they have stayed true to form, prioritizing the trenches and devaluing the running back position, a smart way building an NFL roster, but also a frustrating philosophy to some fans who would love to see a stud feature back in the Birds' backfield.

NFC East free agency grades: Eagles edition

by Jimmy Kempski

The Philadelphia Eagles entered 2019 free agency with fewer glaring needs than most teams, but certainly in need of some help, particularly at (outside) wide receiver, defensive tackle, and running back. They also had a number of decisions to make on some of their own players, most notably backup quarterback Nick Foles.

NFC East free agency grades: Giants edition

Report: Eagles to sign DE Vinny Curry

by Jimmy Kempski

Curry will turn 31 in June. When he last played for the Eagles, he wasn't much of a pass rushing threat (3 sacks as a 16-game starter), but he was a good run defender. He brings familiarity to the table, but likely not much in the way of impact.
